Story
Our goal is to provide free iftar for the students and staff in our University for the whole of Ramadan, this cannot be achieved without the generous donations from students and the locals, please donate whole heartedly for this cause and may it become a means for you to attain success in this life and hereafter. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,
Whoever gives iftar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majaah.
The righteous salaf were keen to provide food for others and they thought that this was one of the best of righteous deeds.
From the ibaadah of providing food for people stem many other acts of worship such as creating love and friendship towards those who are given the food, which is a means of entering Paradise, as the Prophet (ﷺ) said
You will not enter Paradise until you truly believe, and you will not truly believe until you love one another.
Narrated by Muslim, 54.
