Eating with hand is always beneficial and scientific than eating with a spoon. It will be slight difficult to make understand a non medical person in this respect. Still if we clarify it simply that, we have many bacteria in our body- on the skin, in mouth, intestine called normal flora. Normal flora are usually harmless and protect us from many harmful bacteria from outside environment. We get these normal flora starting from after birth from mother skin and hands. Gradually many types of normal flora clonizes on different parts of our body. Maintenance of this colonization is needed for better health by updating the type of normal flora in our gut. If one use spoon (clean- bacteria free) for long time or drinks bottle water ( which is bacteria free) ultimately his pattern of normal flora will be changed or loss its current code of normal flora in the gut and he will loss his concomitant immunity to environmental bacterial pathogens. This type of people if suddenly exposed to a environment where water contains some sorts bacteria( that is not harm full to local people) will suffer a lot from gastroenteritis. As for example, in our country when some people come from abroad after several years of staying there mostly suffer from acute gastroenteritis within few days of coming here. Similarly when people from urban area visit their village after a long period also suffer with similar disease. Where as local people don't suffer from the disease with same foods and drinks or water.

that right....rasullullah always use his right for eating...
hm....i mean right hand....
I have only tried to justify scientifically the way of eating by Hazrat Mohammad (s.a.a.w). I belive that he was more than a microbiologist like me by the virtue of Almighty Allah. I belive heartly as a muslim and always try to obey rasulullah (pbuh).Thank you paradoxemon for referring rasulullah (s.a.a.w.)in this respect.
assalamualaikum dr.
it is well known that we eat using hand because we follow the sunnah. and ppl claim that there is a special enzyme from our hand that helps to digest the food we eat better. Could you please explain to me what is the enzyme(s) (if there is any), where does it come from and what is the mechanism of the reaction between the enzyme and the food? i want to know scientifically so that i can confidently relate it to Islam.
hope to hear from you soon dr. tq:)
As salamu alaikum,
Sorry for too late to answer. There is no enzyme(s)in our hand, so far we know(medical science). But there is enzyme in our saliva, called ptyalin that helps in digestion.So, deliberate chewing during eating helps to admix this enzyme with food and thus helps in good digestion.
I would like to post this article in our company's magazine to share this wonderful knowledge.
I am a christian but I do like the teaching of Islam which always is proven by science.
