The Global Hunger Index 2021 has been released. Some of it's findings are shocking.

It's indeed very sad, painful and shameful that so many of our brothers and sisters are suffering from hunger while we enjoy delicious food to our hearts fill & even shamefully throw out food regularly.

Millions going hungry is not due to food shortage or "over population". It's due to Food wastage by the rich, dumping extra food in the oceans by the capitalists to keep the prices high, improper distribution, selfishness, negligence & the world-order built on injustice & oppression.

An article in the Scientific American magazine revealed that reducing Food Wastage Can Feed the World as Globally 30% to 40% of food intended for human consumption is wasted while more than 800 million people go hungry every day.

The solutions to this global problem of hunger and food wastage are given by Islam:
“Eat – But waste not by excess: for God does not love the wasters.” (Qur’an, 6:141).
This command of the Quran is for the individuals as well as the business establishments & governments.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed that if a piece of food falls down, it should be picked up and any dirt should be removed from it, and it should be eaten.
The prophet ordered us not to leave anything in the plate and he said: "You do not know in which portion of your food Allah has put the Barakah (Blessing).

While Islam prohibits wasting food & over consumption and also it commands to feed the hungry.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,
“He who eats to satisfaction while his neighbour is hungry is not a believer.” (Baihaqi)

“A man asked the Prophet ﷺ ‘Which aspect of Islam is best?‘
He said, ‘FEEDING PEOPLE ...' (Bukhari)

The Prophet ﷺ said ,“FEED THE HUNGRY, visit the sick and free the captives” (Bukhari)

May Allah give good sense to humanity to follow His guidance. Aameen.
