and sharing
Social justice is one of the basic principles of democracy. People

As revealed in the Qur'an, in verse 69 of Surah Hud, "Our messengers
brought the good news to Abraham. They said, 'Peace!' and he too

food to people whom he had never met, the Prophet Abraham was
behaving in the best way, and wisely stresses the importance of feed-

ing, All-Aware. (Qur'an, 49:13)
Our Prophet (pbuh) expresses this truth commanded by God as follows:
