Invite someone over for Iftaar
One of the easiest ways to double your reward for fasting this Ramadan– is by breaking the fast of others.
As the Prophet ﷺ said:
“مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِ الصَّائِمِ شَيْئًا”
“Whoever feeds a fasting person, will have the same reward as the one fasting without having their reward diminished at all.”
By simply feeding a fasting person you get all their reward. It’s really that simple!
And now while normal to feed your family and friends, this Ramadan, consider inviting a convert Muslims over. Many new Muslims will be breaking their fast alone and it’s important they don’t feel left out. Not only will you be getting massive rewards, but you’ll make them feel a stronger connection with the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The righteous salaf (predecessors) were always keen to provide food for others and they thought that this was one of the best of righteous deeds.
Providing food for people is a form of worship that creates a beautiful ripple effect like showing love and friendship towards those who are given the food. This is all part of the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ who said:
‘By the One in whose Hand is my soul! You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not (truly) believe until you love one another.”
(Sahih)
So invite a friend over and help Revive Ramadan!
