#RamadanDailyDigest: Have You Fed A Fasting Muslim?

The saying that 'there is love in sharing' is universal and applies to everyone who loves being generous to others, as well to those who feed a fasting Muslim in this month of Ramadan.

You can also ask yourself the question that, have you fed a fasting Muslim? The answer is also best known to you. 

Feeding a fasting Muslim could come in different ways. For instance, an elderly Muslim person, who is not able to fast Ramadan due to old age could get another fasting Muslim and feed him from Ramadan Day 1 to Day 29 or 30. Also, you can decide to feed a fasting Muslim or groups of persons who are fasting during Iftaar (period of breaking fast) or Sahuur (period of eating before dawn) or at both Sahuur and Iftaar. Everything depends on your financial capabilities and willingness.

Feeding a fasting Muslim even for once in Ramadan is one of the most rewarding acts of worship in the month of Ramadan. Your ability to give out of the little you have will be rewarded by Allaah, which is a pointer to the fact that you would give out more when you have more.

In the last verse of Suuratul Muzzammil (chapter 73) of the Glorious Qur'an, Allaah made it known that He, Allaah would multiply what the giver gives in multiple folds of rewards. More so, there are several verses in Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of the Glorious Qur'an that emphasise the reward for being generous, which feeding a fasting Muslim is part of the generosity.

To all Muslims, try to be generous in order for Allaah to continue to bless you. Suffice to mention here that you can give out to non Muslims also, as act of giving is not limited to only people who are Muslims like you.

Has Gambling Improved The Economic Fortune Of Nigerians?

Gambling involves staking a certain amount of money or possession in the hope of winning something bigger or in multiples. Gambling entails having an optimistic belief that giving out something will bring back a higher return. Gambling means a positive or negative expectation from an input done by the gambler. A gambler gambles away some or all of his money in expectation of winning what will change his or her life financially at most times. Gambling attracts all manners of characters whose sole aim is a better economic fortune. Gambling is not prevalent not just in the Western World but in African countries such as Nigeria. Most non gamblers opine that gambling has done more damage to the economic fortunes of Nigerians and by extension the gamblers themselves. Both genders (male and female) in Nigeria are involved in gambling, however, more males are known to as notorious gambling addicts. One of the most popular gambling locations where gamblers are seen daily is at Ojuelegba, Lagos

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are.

Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2.
