Ramadan is an especially opportune time to reflect on the blessings of food . When we eat less, our stomachs shrink, and we feel full after a few bites at the end of the day. Fasting allows us to experience once a year what many throughout the world experience almost daily. Hunger, for them, is not a choice; it is simply a fact of life. One only has to look at the state of the Muslim Ummah as a whole in order to determine just how important the concept of charity is today. In Islam, feeding people carries great virtues as can be seen from Qur’an and Hadith.
