Feeding Many with Little

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that a small amount of food can feed many people.

QUICK LESSONS:
Share what you have with others

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us an important lesson about sharing and abundance. He said that the food of one person is enough for two people, the food of two people is enough for four people, and the food of four people is enough for eight people. This hadith teaches us that even if we have little to share, it can still go a long way in feeding many. It also encourages us to think about how we can share what we have with others in order to make sure everyone has enough to eat. We should remember this lesson when it comes time to divide up our resources or meals so that everyone gets their fair share.
