8. Because the infidels consumed devilish and sensual foods and did not eat spiritual and faith-inspiring foods, therefore they were given this punishment for it. Devilish foods, which is eaten to commit sins, and sensual food which is eaten like an animal to develop sensual desires. Says Allah Almighty: "And eat like cattle eat" (S47:V12). Or, the faith-inspiring lawful food, which is eaten for the sake of worshipping Allah Almighty. Eating such food, too, is an act of worship. It is for this reason that having Sehri and Iftaar in Ramadaan, the nourishment of the Islamic soldiers are all acts of worship.
