دعوتِ اسلامی کی قیّوم دونوں جہاں میں مچ جائے دُھوم

اِس پہ فِدا ہو بچّہ بچّہ یا الله مِری جھولی بھر دے

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 

Dear Islamic brothers! Today, virtually everyone seems to be complaining of deprivation and a lack of blessings in their sustenance. Perhaps, disrespect and waste of food may be one of its reasons. Today, you would hardly find a Muslim who does not waste food. Everywhere, whether it is at a wedding feast or a Niyaz meal of a saint, you will see people waste food. Regretfully, a lot of food is also carelessly dropped on the dining-mat during meals. After the food has been consumed, the leftovers and meat still remain on the bones and spices, which are then carelessly thrown away. After eating once, most people do not even think of reusing the food left in the plates, bowls and pots and it eventually ends up in the garbage.

Similarly, reusable leftover clean drinking water in the glass should not be thrown away as it is quoted that ‘سُؤۡرُ الۡمُؤمِنِ شِفَاءٌ’ i.e., cure lies in the leftover (meal) of a Muslim. (Al-Fatawa Al-Fiqhiya-tul-Kubra, vol. 4 pp. 117)

There is not only a hope of cure in using the leftover of a Muslim but also it develops brotherhood, unity, mutual understanding, humility as well as it helps us refrain from the epidemic of arrogance along with the glad tiding of forgiveness from sins.

Dear Islamic brothers! One should repent of Israaf (wastage) he has committed till now and make a firm intention never to waste even a single grain of food and a single drop of gravy etc. By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! On the Day of Judgement, one will surely be held accountable for every grain of food he wasted in the world. Without doubt, no one has the power to bear
