SHAFAQNA – Feeding others is a good tradition which Islam has emphasized frequently in holy verses of the Quran and narrations. Regarding this important Islamic tradition, Imam Baqer (AS) said: Allah (SWT) loves feeding and greeting everyone [1].
Imam Reza (AS) encouraged feeding and hosting others and considered this as the cause of social cohesion and the growth of religious brotherhood. It is narrated from Imam Reza (AS) who said: Visit each other in order to love one another, shake hands firmly and do not get angry with one another [2].
