Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, Congratulations to all on the completion of Ramadan. May we continue to take advantage of such God-given gifts to grow our souls. On the topic of food: according to the USDA, Americans throw away about 25% of their food (http://www.npr.org/internedition/sum10/?p=3339). As submitters, we try our best not to waste (6:141). The Quran encourages us to give to charity and feed the hungry instead. [6:141] He is the One who established gardens, trellised and untrellised, and palm trees, and crops with different tastes, and olives, and pomegranate ?fruits that are similar, yet dissimilar. Eat from their fruits, and give the due alms on the day of harvest,* and do not waste anything. He does not love the wasters.
