1
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,480
Part of gratitude for blessings
is respecting food.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Honoring food and not wasting it
or throwing it away.

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,100
If only a little is eaten of it,
the rest is thrown in the trash.

4
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:29,520
The rest is thrown in the trash.

5
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:36,700
At big banquets, only a little is
eaten, and the rest goes in the trash.

6
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,980
This is ingratitude for blessings.
I ask Allah ﷻ for well-being.

7
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:46,820
From ingratitude for blessings,
whose punishment we fear.

8
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:53,696
The Prophet ﷺ says.

9
00:00:53,780 --> 00:00:58,560
"If a morsel of food falls
from one of you, let him pick it up."

10
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:06,220
"Let him pick it up, wipe off
whatever dirt is on it, and eat it."

11
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,060
That is one morsel. So what then?

12
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,360
What about all that food from huge
banquets, dumped and strewn in the trash?

13
00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:21,200
Then let him eat it.

14
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:31,760
The Prophet ﷺ saw a piece of fruit
on the road and took it in his noble hand.

15
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:38,640
And he said, “Were I not afraid
that it might be zakat, I'd eat it.”

16
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,010
But he lifted it from the road;
he did not leave it there.

17
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:48,020
What kept him from eating it
was that it might be zakat.

18
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,520
for Allah has forbidden zakat
to Muhammad and his family.

19
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,200
This is valuing the blessing,
honoring it and not wasting it.

20
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,160
So let that be a lesson
and an admonition for us.

21
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,180
O servants of Allah.
Let us fear lest it befall us.

22
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,579
What struck those around us:
rifts, division, poverty, and want.

23
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:26,060
And hardship of living
and hardship of life.
