Prominent Islamic scholar and Chairman of the As-Sunnah Foundation, Shaykh Ahmadullah, has expressed deep concern over the massive rise of non-communicable diseases linked to modern eating habits. In an official statement released on his verified social media account on Saturday night, the popular preacher highlighted the severe public health crisis emerging across the nation. He noted that despite an alarming spike in fatal medical conditions like liver cirrhosis, cancer, and permanent kidney failures, the general populace continues to consume toxic processed items.
This hazardous trend is why Shaykh Ahmadullah warns against unhealthy food in his latest address.
The rapid expansion of commercial fast-food joints, uncontrolled food courts, and restaurants from major urban centers to rural district headquarters has significantly altered cultural dining practices. Traditional, nutrient-rich home-cooked meals are being systematically replaced by chemical-heavy, saturated fats that directly violate established medical and nutritional guidelines. Furthermore, standard weekend family entertainment has increasingly transformed into restaurant-centric commercial consumerism, which poses long-term risks to children. Local grocery stores and confectioneries strategically display hazardous soft drinks and carbonated beverages at eye level, systematically enticing the youth into highly dangerous dietary addictions.
The scholar lamented that medical facilities nationwide are currently overwhelmed, with critically ill patients facing acute shortages of available kidney dialysis slots. He expressed deep dissatisfaction that five decades after independence, state institutions have failed to guarantee a safe, contaminant-free national food supply for the population. According to Islamic jurisprudence, the physical body is a sacred trust bestowed by the Almighty, mandating individual accountability regarding health preservation. The session concluded with a strong recommendation to embrace traditional lifestyles by prioritizing fresh, local seasonal fruits over industrial processed goods.
