Can I give away an entire box of Sukari dates in just 3 minutes right outside Masjid Nabawi? π One of the best things you can do when you come to Madinah is buy a box of dates and give them out. It sounds simple, but feeding others is one of the greatest acts of charity in Islam. The Prophet ο·Ί said, "The best of you are those who feed others." (Musnad Ahmad β graded Sahih by Al-Albani) He ο·Ί also said, "O people, spread peace, feed others food, strengthen the ties of kinship, and be in prayer when others are asleep, you will enter Jannah in peace." (Jami' al-Tirmidhi) And the dates I chose? Sukari dates. If you've never tried them, they're one of the sweetest and most delicious varieties you'll find in Saudi Arabia. The name "Sukari" literally comes from the Arabic word for sugary. They're soft, golden, and have a caramel-like taste that almost melts in your mouth. They're grown in the Al-Qassim region of Saudi Arabia and are often called the "Queen of Dates." You can find boxes of Sukari dates in shops all around Madinah at very affordable prices β so next time you visit, grab a box, stand outside the Masjid, and start handing them out. It costs very little but the reward with Allah is enormous. Watch till the end to see if I managed to finish the whole box in time! βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π€² WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS Feeding others isn't just a nice thing to do β it's one of the best Islamic traits. When a man asked the Prophet ο·Ί what the best traits in Islam are, he ο·Ί said, "Feed the people, and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know." (Sahih al-Bukhari) Allah says in the Quran: "And they give food, in spite of love for it, to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, saying: We feed you only for the sake of Allah. We wish not from you reward nor thanks." (Surah Al-Insan 76:8-9) So whether it's dates, water, or a meal β feeding someone for the sake of Allah is one of the simplest and most rewarding charities you can do, especially in the blessed city of Madinah. βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ β Have you ever given out dates or food outside Masjid Nabawi?
