body parts and creates the desire of committing violent and immodest deeds. When a person eats to his full stomach, his eyes desire to see immodest things, his ears desire to hear evil things, his tongue wants to speak about indecent things, his private part demands the satisfaction of desires and his feet are keen to move towards impermissible places. On the contrary, if a person is hungry, all of his body parts remain peaceful. They will neither desire for any evil nor will they get happy when seeing it.’ Abu Ja’far رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated, ‘When the stomach is hungry, all other body parts are at peace. They desire nothing, and when the stomach is full, other body parts become hungry and take the person to committing evil things.’ (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, pp. 82)
