1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,080
Among the aesthetic beauties of the Prophetic biography.

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,570
Food security.

3
00:00:12,570 --> 00:00:15,570
Islam legislated the blessed zakat.

4
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:17,570
So that our wealth may be purified.

5
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:19,570
And our character may be refined.

6
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:21,570
And that we may feel for our brothers.

7
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:24,570
And that we may cultivate generosity and charity.

8
00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:26,570
And chivalry and magnanimity.

9
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:30,570
There is also another form of brotherly cooperation.

10
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:32,570
And faith-based interconnectedness.

11
00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:36,570
Which is sharing during times of military campaigns and hardships.

12
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:39,700
The Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, says.

13
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:41,700
Praising a group of people.

14
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:46,700
And commending their bond and faith-based connection.

15
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:49,700
"When the Ash'ari tribe ran low on provisions during a campaign.

16
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:53,700
Or when the food for their families in Medina ran short.

17
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:56,700
They would gather whatever they had in a single cloth.

18
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:01,700
Then they would divide it among themselves in one vessel equally.

19
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:05,109
They are of me, and I am of them."

20
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:09,109
They were in need, their food was scarce, and their numbers were many.

21
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:12,109
But blessing lies in the community.

22
00:01:12,109 --> 00:01:15,109
And the food of two is sufficient for four.

23
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:19,109
Therefore, they would resort to partnership and division.

24
00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:23,299
So that the bounty might spread and blessing might descend.

25
00:01:23,299 --> 00:01:27,299
In this is an embodiment of brotherhood and religious cohesion.

26
00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:30,299
And the rejection of selfishness and individualistic greed.

27
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:34,299
And that the individual is part of a cohesive faith-based bloc.

28
00:01:34,299 --> 00:01:39,359
Allah the Almighty says: ﴾The believers are but brothers﴿.

29
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:43,519
Such qualities strengthen the bond.

30
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:48,519
And bless the food, and remove estrangement and discord.

31
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,519
Everyone strives for unity and mutual support.

32
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:54,519
Through it, the rich feel for the poor.

33
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:58,519
The strong for the weak, and the elder for the younger.

34
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:01,519
And that all blessings are from Allah.

35
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:05,519
And hoarding them or monopolizing them is among the destructive sins.

36
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,520
And a cause for the disappearance of blessing from them.

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,580
Which is something that contradicts the characteristics of the Muslim society.

38
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:15,620
And Allah is the Grantor of success.
