Ramadan 1441/2020 – Feed the Fasting Program – Weekend Iftar Pack
Dear Students and Staff,
Assalaamu ‘alaykum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh,
We pray this message reaches you in the best of Imaan, health and safety.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged us to feed the fasting person:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “He who provides a fasting person something with which to break his fast, will earn the same reward as the one who was observing the fast, without diminishing in any way the reward of the latter.” [At-Tirmidhi].
The current COVID-19 situation is a trying time for all of us. It is a time for us to be patient and hope reward from Allah, a time to return to Allah in repentance and a time to reform our lives in a positive way.
In light of this, the Muslim Chaplain of UQ and the Muslim Chaplain Volunteers Team of UQ are organizing meals to be distributed on the weekend during Ramadhan to university students in UQ. One of the reasons we are putting great effort into this is to help alleviate the difficulties that our international students are facing financially due to the current COVID19 situation. Registration is essential for students to collect their packed meal. More information about registration can be found below.
