The launch of the campaign of 100 million meals for 100 million poor, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, may God protect him and protect him. The campaign said that she felt hungry bellies to satisfy them and fill them in this holy month, the month of consolation, righteousness and charity.

- Paying attention to the hungry stomach and feeling its pain is one of the purposes and wisdom of fasting.

Paying attention to hungry stomachs and feeling their pain is one of the purposes and wisdom of fasting. Where the rich feel the need and the hunger of his poor man, so he is compassionate to him with what is good for himself, and God Almighty has made compassion for the hungry stomachs to satisfy them for the sake of his closeness to Him, as His Majesty said: An orphan with a close proximity or a needy poor person with a dust), and the obstacle is a mountain in Hell - may God protect us all from it - which does not go beyond it from its income except by loosening the necks, or feeding it to the needy near by: The little that this great reward has been arranged on, and this is what the close, righteous servants of God who described them in the truth, glory be to Him, say: {And they feed the food according to His love, the poor, the orphan, and the captive.}

Rather, this was a great reward for this outfit, which may be little for someone who is well-off. Because these poor people who are starving are among the servants of God Almighty, and God Almighty has made their livelihoods in the hand of some of his other servants. May God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Whoever charms a date with the fairness of good earning, and God does not accept anything but good, then God accepts it with his oath, then raises it to its owner, just as one of you raises it, so it is like a mountain. »That is, in the greatness of reward, and this is from the goodness and generosity of God Almighty. For if he accepts his servant to work, the reward is bestowed upon him. Because God Almighty is a generous horse. Indeed, God Almighty made what is given to His poor servants and extended His hand, Glory be to Him, as stated in the hadith Qudsi produced in Sahih Muslim and others: “O son of Adam, I have favored you and you did not feed me. He said: O Lord, and how did I feed you while you are the Lord of the worlds ?!Did you not know that my servant so-and-so, did you feed him? Do you not know that if you Otamth have found that I have".

These poor human beings seek them with us all the time, while we hear their suffering with hunger, and we see their atrophied bodies and their hungry stomachs, so what is our argument with our Lord if he reproaches us with such a reproach with which hearts are confused?

And here the door has been opened for us to benefit ourselves, and to draw close to our Lord, glory be to Him, by contributing to this blessed campaign that will inevitably reach those hungry bellies, so we should not hesitate to contribute to it, especially when we are in the month of generosity and charity, for our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him in this month, was the best. With the goodness of the sent wind, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, has made us straight in terms of his morals and deeds, how we have desired the great reward of charity in this month as stated: “He who breaks a fast in him has a free slave, and forgiveness for his sins.” A drinker from my basin, after which he will never thirst until he enters Heaven, and he will have a reward like his without any detract from his reward. ”

This initiative is, in fact, an opening of the door to competition in good deeds for all people, so everyone can compete in it with the goodness of himself from the redundancies of alms or the obligatory Zakat, and perhaps the competition from the poor was previously for what the wealthy brings, so that one dirham precedes a thousand dirhams, because it is from the poor. "An effort from wickedness," as the Canadian persuasive said:

Giving is not out of curiosity, forgiveness ... until you are good and what you have is a little

May God reward those who launched this campaign with the best reward, and may God reward those who contributed a little or a lot, and our Lord, glory be to Him, “does not waste the reward of the benefactors.”
