Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

Do you ever eat standing up? if ever so stop right now or if not then subtract. Eating or drinking while standing is forbidden in Islam and also not good for health.

Dr. Ibrahim Al-Rawi saw that the man at the stand, he was in a state of tension, the organ of balance in the nerve center is working hard, to be able to retain all the muscles in his body, so they can stand stable and perfectly. This is a very thorough job which involves all the nervous system and muscles simultaneously, which makes human beings can not achieve peace which is a requirement tepenting when eating and drinking. This serenity can be generated at the time of sitting, where the nerves are in a state of calm and not tense, so that the digestive system in a state ready to receive food and drink with a quick way.

Dr. Ibrahim Al-Rawi emphasize that food and beverages consumed during standing, could have an impact on neural reflection undertaken by the nervous reaction wanderer (brain nerve tenth) are widely spread on the endothelial lining that surrounds the intestines. This reflection event is violently and suddenly, can cause nerve dysfunction (vagal inhibition) are severe, to deliver the deadly beating of the heart, causing fainting or sudden death.

Dr. Abdurrazzaq Al-Kailani said, "Drinking and eating while sitting, healthier, more safely, and more polite, because what is drunk or eaten by a person will walk through the intestinal walls by slowly and gently. As for drinking while standing, it will cause a hard fall to the bottom of the liquid with the gut, hit it hard, if this happens repeatedly in a long time, it will cause the expansion and fall of the intestines, which then lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction. The Prophet Muhammad never once drank while standing, then it is because there is something that prevents him to sit, like a full human being crowded at the holy places, not a habit. Remember only once because of an emergency! Similarly, eating, walking, not at all healthy, not rude, unethical, and never known in Islam and the Muslims. "

Regarding the manners of sitting when eating it was the habit of the Holy Prophet that he did not eat whilst reclining.
It was true that the Holy Prophet said:
"I do not eat while reclining. I do sit like the slave of Allah and I do eat like him."
It is narrated in a hadith that the Holy Prophet prohibited the man to eat while lying with his face downward.
The concept of reclining has been explained in various ways:
1. To sit cross-legged.
2. To lean on an object.
3. To lean upon a flank (side).

Regarding number 3, (to lean upon a flank) it is the most harmful way of sitting because when you lean upon a flank it alters the natural way of food . The other two (to sit cross-legged and to lean on an object ) are the ways the powerful people sit who go contrary to slavery. Thus, the Holy Prophet said:

"I do eat like the slave of Allah does" and the Holy Prophet ate sitting on his heels. He has said that he ate leaning on his knees, the method is by placing the inside of his left foot the back of his right foot; as a sign of modesty towards Allah (s.w) of politeness between his hands and of respect for the food and the guest. This way of eating is proven to be the best and safest, because all the organs are left in their natural condition which Allah the powerful created, including the civilized position .

One should not also lean on pillows and mattresses because this position was the powerful people and the ones who eat excessively. Abu Nu'aim has related that "The Holy Prophet prohibited sleeping immediately after dinner as he said that this fact hardens the heart." Thus, the doctors have advised us to walk after dinner about one hundred steps and prohibit sleeping immediately after as this is very harmful. The muslim Doctors say that one should pray after supper so that the aliments settle at the bottom of the stomach in order to make the digestion easier and better. Allah knows best.
