After eating

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي أَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا وَجَعَلَنَا مُسْلِمِينَ

Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi at'amana wa saqana wa ja'alana muslimin

Praise be to Allah who fed us and gave us drink and made us Muslims.

What this supplication is

Praise after the meal completes the double act of the day's most repeated blessing: gratitude before and after provision. The Qur'an links gratitude directly to increase (14:7).

When to recite it

At the end of a meal, after finishing.
