One of the things I love in Ramadan is sending iftar to neighbours, family and friends and people sending back treats my way. I like that we just make a little extra and send it out and Allah (SWT) blesses it and it is enough for quite a few others.
Over the last 10 days, I have been sent pakora’s,
potato samosa’s, mince samosa’s, two lots of biryani, a Bengali platter (with
rice, channa and sweet pua pitha), dhai bhallay and lots of dates.
Today we got a knock on the door and
someone handed my son a bag telling us it was from a house number down the road:
I recognised it as the house of an elderly
widow and realised she had sent her daughter in law to houses down the street.
The bag contained dates and a little scented tea light.
I think this aunty has the right idea. You
could slave over a three course meal, or send a single date with sincerity and
the intention to please Allah (SWT) and the reward is the same – that of the fasting
person who broke their fast with your food.
May Allah (SWT) accept this Aunty’s
efforts and be pleased with her insha’Allah.
