There is a societal trend to limit the invitation to people of affluence and of a certain 'social standing'. The ordinary poor, weak and downtrodden people of the community are not considered to be part of such functions. Such invitations are disliked and contrary to the Sunnah.

It is Sunnah to invite people for a meal with the intention of feeding people, Da'wah or for a special occasion like a Walimah. One important etiquette of inviting people is to ensure that poor people are also invited. There is a stern warning in the hadith for a general invitation where only the wealth partake and poor are left out.

Abu Hurairah (RadiyaLahu anhu) narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “(From among) the worst of food is the food of that Walimah wherein the wealthy are invited and the poor are left out …” (Bukhari & Muslim)

There is a societal trend to limit the invitation to people of affluence and of a certain 'social standing'. The ordinary poor, weak and downtrodden people of the community are not considered to be part of such functions. Such invitations are disliked and contrary to the Sunnah.

Our community should seek to rectify this malpractice and make it a point to identify people and families who are generally overlooked and invite them with honour and respect.

If we adopt simplicity, and avoid extravagance and lavishness, we will be able to extend our invitation to more people of a diverse backgroundand in this way foster unity, brotherhood and cohesion in our community. This could be a means of our forgiveness and eternal salvation.

Rubbish.

There is no humanity here. Killing fellow human beings is a norm. There should be reforms. Religion also reform to accommodate society advancement, development, descent voice and criticism.

Make I no talk but fact remains that there's vawulence

Our Muslim politicians are on this table. Those ones no de fear God one bit!

JAZAKALLAHU BI KHAIR-May Allah grant you goodness.
Ever since i have been following most of ur posts on this platform especially on fridays, i never came upon any post that incites terrorism or supporting of immorality even when viewed from a rational perspective. Rather ur posts despicts the fair teaching and goodness of Islam.

This should apply even to our normal events. Naming, Eid and others. There's special meal depending on which class you belong to when you visit someone's home during those events.

May Allah help us all to do the right thing.

Given my experience.....astagfrilah. our scholar will also share part of the blame as the event as now been turns to an avenue to collect money. to the extent that times were wasted on this most of the time. so, if the poor's are now the majority in cant imagine what the atmosphere will become.
