Feeding a fasting person

The ultimate purpose of this month is to
increase our iman. We have to leave this
Ramdhan in particular with a stronger bond
with Allah, ‘Azza wa Jaal, since we can’t be
sure we’ll live to see another one.
Therefore, in addition to your fast and night
prayer, utilize other opportunities to accumulate
reward. One of the best ways to do that is to
feed a fasting person. Subhanna Allah, read the
hadith above again…why let such a reward pass
you by? Then, let’s commit to help feed at least
one fasting person this Ramdhan, In sha’Allah!
You can do this by:
1. Cooking food at home and putting it into
small plastic/foil containers. You can pass
these containers to people you know are in
need of food.
2. Making arrangements with your local mosque
on how you can help support the Iftar Al-Sa’em
program (feeding the people who fast).
3. Contact your local charity to make a financial
contribution to help feed those who are fasting
whether locally or internationally.
4. See if you know anyone (or you can ask your
family/friends) who needs food supply such as
rice, dates, sugar, etc. and buy it for them.
These are but a few ideas to help you get
started. I’m sure you are more familiar with
your community and how you can participate. I
ask Allah to reward you for your efforts and all
of us, and help guide us to performing good
deeds always.
