ASSALAM-U-ALAIKUM,
I am really relly hurt today after watching out at a documentary in the television about hungry people. It says 1 out of every 8 person is hungry in the world. this year there has an increase of about 40 million people in the hunger list 40 million friends. And Pakistan has fifth highest number of hungry people. The number have been distributed like this.
578 million in Asia and the Pacific
239 million in Sub-Saharan Africa
53 million in Latin America and the Caribbean
37 million in the Near East and North Africa
19 million in developed countries
that is 926 million people around the world are hungry, and look at our attitudes how badly we "destroy" food. especially in the marriage ceremonies of Pakistan everyone of us is just eager to get as much of food as possible in his plate and at the end we have not enough places in our bellies to fill them up. Thanks Allah we have no system as camels have or else I am damn sure we Paksitani will have a fight with the caterer to give the whole "daig" to him to fill his stomach up for the next forty days.
What has happened to us why are we such greedy persons, why don't we thank ALLAH on what ever we get, why nothing in the world is enough for our greed, why we always try to get more and more and never think of others around. My brother went to a marriage ceremony last days and he told me about the conditions, every one rushed as if the food is a "maal-e-ghanimat" after a war that every one was running to get and there was no marble floor but a floor of rice on which they were walking. and outside the house where there was the "daig" and all the rice was on the ground there were little poor children who were picking those small rice pieces up in there shirts and were running home taking it so that there mother,sisters,brothers and other family members may also eat biryani at least for one day. But is this not there right that they eat as hygenic biryani a we eat. Is not it there right that the rice that they are picking up from the road be given to them in a diciplined way? The numbers of hungry people is increasing day by day and we are just not changing ourselves I dont know why but we are just so selfish that we never think/feel anything when we look at the childrens searching for the food in the rubbish if ALLAh have given us such a position in world that we have food so please we should use it in a better way.
Always take that much food which you can eat and always try to convince your mothers or sisters to cook as much your family can consume. Mostly the leftover food is kept in refrigerators and after a week get spoiled please if you are not going to eat that please give it to some effecties at your area may be we become able to elimate hunger just from our place.
MAY ALLAH GUIDE US TO THE RIGHT PATH AND MAY WE BECOME ABLE TO USE HIS "NEMAT" IN THE RIGHT WAY.(AMEEN)
