For many of us, trying to eat well feels like a chore that is disconnected from our faith. Yet, the Qur’an and hadith are packed with excellent advice about how we can look after our physical health.
Rather than following passing trends, A Recipe for Faith and Wellbeing brings you back to the balanced approach of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Written by Nishat Chowdhury, a registered practising dietitian, it offers a professional perspective that you can trust, grounded in both medical science and Prophetic tradition.
Inside, you will find more than just advice about what to eat and what to avoid. You will also discover how to revive the forgotten etiquettes of eating with habits that bring barakah (blessing) to your table. With stunning photography and global recipes from community contributors, this book is a pleasure to own and one that you will refer to again and again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just another cookbook?
No. While it includes beautiful recipes, it is primarily a guide to understanding nutrition through an Islamic lens. It explains why we eat, how we should eat, and the science behind a balanced diet.
Are the recipes complicated?
No. The recipes were chosen for their simplicity and use of wholesome Sunnah ingredients that are easy to find. They are designed for busy families who want healthy results without spending all day in the kitchen. We have tried and tested (and tasted!) each and every recipe in our kitchens at home.
Is the nutritional advice authentic?
Yes. The lead author, Nishat Chowdhury, is a Registered Dietitian (RD) with a Master’s in Dietetics. Every piece of nutritional advice is based on professional clinical standards that is evidence-based and balanced and steers clear of passing food trends.
My family won’t eat healthy food. Is this book for them?
This book focuses on a moderate, balanced approach to food that helps set a healthy example for the whole family, moving away from restrictive dieting or cutting out whole food groups, and toward a love for pure (tayyib) food.
How does this help my spiritual life?
Islam is a deen and encompasses all aspects of our life including eating. By integrating values like gratitude, unity, and generosity into our eating habits, we turn every meal into a reminder of Allah’s favours. It helps you see health as a trust (amanah) from Him. We also passionately believe that we are what we eat, and so we will worship at our best when we eat what is, not only halal, but also tayyib (pure and wholesome). This book helps you do just that.
