It is an obligation upon all Muslims to fast during the month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan is the month of forgiveness and mercy, and any deeds done in this month will be rewarded 10 times more. During this month, Muslims keep fasts for the sake of ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) from dawn to sunset. Muslims also pray, and remember ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) in a special way called "dhikr" (which means to remember ALLAH), and also does all acts of worship. In Ramadan, a Muslim should not only fast by giving up food, but also fast with his/her tongue, ears, eyes, meaning they should avoid ~ saying bad, hearing bad, and seeing bad.It is also very beneficial to give sadaqa (charity) during the month of Ramadan to poor and needy. Not everyone has food to eat for their pre-dawn meal (Suhoor) or to break the fast (Iftar), so by giving out food or money you're helping your brothers and sisters in Islam to keep fast for ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) or feed them the meal to break their fast which is greatly rewarded by ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
The reward of feeding a fasting person is that you will get the same reward as the fasting person without any reduction from their rewards. SUBHANALLAH!
So my brothers and sisters, Fast and Feed others and, keep me in your dua, InshaALLAH.
