In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Charity is one of the first traits of the righteous mentioned in the Quran, in verse 2:3.

[Quran 2:2-3] This scripture is infallible; a beacon for the righteous; who believe in the unseen, observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and from our provisions to them, they give to charity ...


Among the recommended forms of charity is feeding the poor.

[Quran 76:8-9] They donate their favorite food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive. "We feed you for the sake of GOD; we expect no reward from you, nor thanks.

By God's Grace we have been blessed with generous provisions. Giving to charity is a great gift from God to our souls.
