I think it's a normal thing in Hinduism. There's a rituals where you offer the cooked meal to God first, then you eat. The offering is accompanied by a bell.

in Islam it's not an offering to God, and there are no rituals involved. It's attaching the goal of getting to heaven to any action. "I'm eating this food because it will help me worship God" so giving purpose to mindless tasks
What would be a common, practical justifications for why this is a useful trait to have?
