Conclusion

Providing food to the needy is one of the most noble and virtuous acts in Islam, often cited as a direct path to spiritual growth and closeness to Allah and, I will conclude my report with some Quranic verses that emphasize the significance of feeding the hungry and supporting those in need.

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 countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude. Surah Al-Insan (76:8-9)

And in their wealth there was a right for the one who asks and for the one who is deprived. Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:19)
