Abdullah bin Amr (R.A) said, ’A man asked the Prophet Muhammad (saw), “What Islamic traits are the best?” The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, ”Feed the people, and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know.“′ [Bukhari]
In Islam, aiding the hungry is a fundamental duty. This moral obligation is heavily emphasized in Islamic teachings and is seen as a way to purify one’s wealth and soul. Feeding the deprived is a practical manifestation of compassion and empathy, essential principles in Islam.
In this spirit, Maison Dawah continued its program of feeding distressed families, and brought help to 25 vulnerable families residing in the following regions:
Cassis, Bel village, Pailles, Vallée Pitot, Plaine Verte, Vallée des Prêtres, Baie du Tombeau, Terre Rouge, Coromandel, Beau Bassin, Rose Hill, Moka, Vacoas, Quatres Bornes, Wooton and Saint Hubert.
Each family received :
- A food pack comprising of basic commodities such as milk, rice, flour, tea, butter, lentils and canned foods among others.
- A cleaning pack consisting of cleaning materials like WC detergent, dish soap, multi-purpose detergent, toothpaste and soaps.
- The 25 food packs total about Rs 32,991.
- The 25 cleaning packs total about Rs 7,917.
- The value of each food pack is around Rs 1,319.
- The value of each cleaning pack is around Rs 316.
The families felt blessed in this period of high food prices and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the donators and Maison Dawah upon receiving this aid.
