own choice; Muslims help their Muslim brothers who are suffering from troubles. Unfortunately! Now we are losing the passion and enthusiasm for helping other Muslims; now we ourselves eat well, earn well, wear well and live a splendid life; we also enjoy different kinds of blessings in the Sahari and Iftari of the blessed month of Ramadan, but unfortunately now we have forgotten to help our poor and needy relatives, neighbours and other Muslims. Anyway, following in the footsteps of these great personalities we should help Muslims practically in the blessed month of Ramadan and in other months. Remember! Serving Muslims Iftari and water is a kind of help. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, great excellence has been mentioned for serving someone Iftar and water in the month of Ramadan.

Virtues of serving someone Iftar

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: The one who serves [any Muslim] Halal food or water as Iftar, angels during the month of Ramadan and Jibraeel Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام in the night of Qadr make Du’a of forgiveness for him. (Mu'jam Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 262, Hadees 6162)

It is stated at another place: The one who serves water to a Sawm-observing person, Allah Almighty will make him drink from my pond and he will not be thirsty until he enters Paradise. (Ibn-e-Khuzaymah, vol. 3, pp. 191, Hadees 1887)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                                                       صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

O the devotees of Rasool! Allah Almighty has countless favours upon us; He bestows things upon the sinful people like us day and night throughout 12 months; blessed Ramadan is the great blessing of Allah Almighty for which no matter how deeply we become grateful to Him it will not be sufficient. Forgiveness is given from the beginning of this month to the end of this month. It is the great month in which Allah Almighty bestowed five special gifts upon the Ummah of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
