There is something deeply special about the month of Ramadan — a month where every good deed is multiplied, where the gates of mercy are flung wide open, and where the act of feeding a fasting person carries a reward that most of us can barely imagine. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person.” (Tirmidhi) Read that again. The same reward — without taking anything away from the one who fasted. SubhanAllah.
At Al-Madinah Center, we are working to make sure that no one sits down to an empty table at iftar this Ramadan. There are families in our community — real people, your neighbors — who will break their fast with whatever little they have, or sometimes with nothing at all. Your donation, no matter the size, can change that. It can be the reason a child smiles when the adhan of Maghrib is called. It can be the reason an elderly man or woman doesn’t spend iftar alone and hungry.
Allah ﷻ reminds us in Surah Al-Insan: “And they give food, in spite of their love for it, to the poor, the orphan, and the captive.“ This was the description of the people of Jannah — not people who gave when it was easy, but people who gave even when they loved what they were giving away. That is the standard we are invited to rise to, especially in these blessed days.
We are almost certain that when we stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment, none of us will wish we had given less. So let this Ramadan be different. Let it be the one where you chose to feed someone for the sake of Allah, with no expectation in return. Visit almadinah-center.org and make your donation today — because the iftar you provide for someone else might just be the deed that tips your own scale.
