Feed a Fasting Person Today – Double Your Reward
One of the beautiful virtues of Ramadan is the spirit of generosity and kindness. We fast together, we pray together, and we help one another in the path of Allah. Among the greatest acts of charity in this blessed month is feeding a fasting person at the time of iftar.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever provides the food for a fasting person to break his fast with, then for him is the same reward as his (the fasting person’s), without anything being diminished from the reward of the fasting person.”
(Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 807)
Why Should We Feed a Fasting Person?
- A Share in the Reward of Fasting: The one who feeds a fasting person receives the same reward as the fasting person—without reducing the fasting person’s reward. Imagine how many fasts you can multiply in reward just by giving iftar!
- It Increases Barakah and Blessings: When we feed others, Allah increases our provisions and places blessings in our wealth and sustenance.
- It Strengthens Brotherhood and Sisterhood: Sharing iftar unites the hearts and fosters love among Muslims.
- It is a Path to Allah’s Forgiveness: The more good deeds we do in Ramadan, the more sins are erased and our status is elevated before Allah.
How Can You Feed a Fasting Person?
- Prepare iftar for your family, friends, or neighbors—even a simple meal earns the reward!
- Donate to a masjid or an organization that provides iftar for those in need.
- Give dates and water—even something small counts as breaking someone’s fast.
- Support those struggling financially by sending them food or funds to buy iftar.
Don’t Miss This Opportunity!
Ramadan is a time of generosity and compassion. The rewards of feeding a fasting person are immense and multiplied in this blessed month. Even if you can only give one date or a sip of water, do not miss this chance!
May Allah make us among the generous, accept our fasting, and grant us the immense rewards of feeding others. Ameen.
