If you forget to say Bismillah:

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When any of you wants to eat, he should mention the Name of Allah in the begining, (i.e., say Bismillah). If he forgets to do it in the beginning, he should say Bismillah awwalahu wa akhirahu (I begin with the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end)."

[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].

I read that you are not supposed to drink water in gulps...I have done that all my life so it is hard when I try not too, drinking in sips doesn't feel like I am even drinking at all.

Its due to habit. You can practise the sunnah way, three sips.


After drinking water read this sunnah dua:

"Alhamdullillahil lathi saqani athban furatan bi rahmatihi wa lam yaj al hu milhan ujajan bi thunubina." Which basically means praise to Allah who quenched your thirst and has not changed the taste of it due to our sins.
