Dastarkhwan دسترخوان
Dastarkhwan دسترخوان (literal meaning ‘tablecloth’ that can be spread on the ground, floor or table) refers to the space where food is eaten or more broadly refers to the meal setting.
Al-Qiyas Welfare has organised dastarkhwans for the poor community in district Jhelum since 2019.
Hot cooked food is provided free for the homeless, those in need, and low-income families.
You can help tackle hunger in poor, needy and vulnerable communities in Pakistan by sponsoring a dastarkhwan.
You can help change lives.
Your support allows us to continue to feed the hungry and provide nutritious, cooked meals for the poor and those in greatest need.
Ibn ‘Abbas informed Ibn az-Zubayr, “I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, ‘He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while his neighbor goes hungry.’
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُسَاوِرِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُخْبِرُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يَشْبَعُ وَجَارُهُ جَائِعٌ.
[Sahih (Al-Albani) Book 6, Hadith 112]
