Urging to Feed the Poor
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ ٣٤
And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And he did not encourage the feeding of the poor.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, he did not look after the poor, care what they ate, understand their condition or help; and just as he did not care for them himself, he did not urge others either.
Reflect
Encourage someone to help a poor person today.
