The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) quoted Allah as saying: “O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me not.” (The person) will respond: “O Lord, how could I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?” (Allah) will then say: “Did you not know that My (hungry servant) asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know that had you fed him you would surely have found (the reward for doing so) with Me?” Hadith Qudsi 18
December 25th- On Tuesday Muslim Businesses in Surrey donated over 100 food parcels to the homeless at various locations in Surrey.
The program was organized by Adeel Jahangir, owner of Chicken world.
