At Hafiz Al Quran, we believe a true memorizer of the Qur’an must reflect Qur’anic values in action, not just recitation. Among the most praised values in Islam is feeding others—a deed that combines generosity, empathy, and humility.
This act isn’t only about food—it’s about spreading love, building unity, and following the Prophet’s ﷺ path toward Paradise.
What Does the Qur’an Say About Feeding Others?
“But he has not broken through the difficult pass. And what can make you know what the difficult pass is? It is the freeing of a slave, or feeding on a day of severe hunger an orphan near of kin or a needy person in distress.”
[Surah Al-Balad: 11–16]
Feeding others, especially in times of hardship, is described as a way to cross the most difficult tests of life and earn immense reward.
Prophetic Sayings About Feeding Others
- The Prophet ﷺ was asked:
“What is the best aspect of Islam?” He said, “Feeding others.”
(Bukhari) - He also said:
“O people, spread peace, feed others, uphold family ties, and pray at night while others sleep—you will enter Paradise in peace.”
(Ibn Majah) - And:
“The best among you are those who feed others and return greetings.”
(Ahmad)

Etiquettes of Feeding Others in Islam
- Avoid extravagance or burdening yourself:
“Food for one is enough for two, food for two is enough for four…”
(Muslim) - Accept invitations, even if simple:
“If I were invited to a meal of just a bone or foot, I would respond.”
(Bukhari) - Never reject a small gift:
Even a bite of bread has blessing when exchanged with sincerity.
- Feed others for the sake of Allah—not for praise or social return.

Final Reflection
A true Hafiz is not someone who waits to be served—but someone who feeds, welcomes, and uplifts others.
Feed your neighbors. Feed a student. Feed a traveler.
And know that you’re feeding more than bodies—you’re nourishing hearts, building bridges, and embodying the Qur’an.
