FEEDING THE HUNGRY
3:9:45 2023-07-28 651

One form of occasional help is to feed the hungry. A man dying of hunger has a right that his hunger be satisfied first. The Qur'an has appreciated the characteristics of the servants of Allah who would be entitled to the perennial blessings of paradise in these words:

And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive- (saying) "we feed you for the sake of Allah alone: No reward we desire from you, nor thanks. We only fear a Day of distressful wrath from the side of our Lord". [Al Dahr: 8-10]

The Prophet (PBUH):

What is the best in Islam?

The question was' obviously about those qualities of Islam which are related to the service and welfare of the people. The Prophet answered: That is to feed the hungry and to salute the acquainted and the stranger.

Feeding the hungry looks apparently a simple act of service out it is of potential importance. If this realization is awakened in the society nobody would be allowed to starve; and the society would discover the quickest and the easiest way to tackle the problem of poverty and hunger. In the earlier days in Madina, when the economic condition of the Islamic State was not yet stable, the Prophet succeeded in solving the problem of squalor and hunger in inducing people to feed the hungry. He said:

 

The food of two persons could take care of three and the food meant for three could help four persons.

Depending on the persons and circumstances, food could be shared and all could draw sustenance from it, with a belief that Allah would grace whatever they share with abundance.
