184b.وَعَلَى الَّذينَ يُطيقونَهُ فِديَةٌ طَعامُ مِسكينٍ ۖ فَمَن
تَطَوَّعَ خَيرًا فَهُوَ خَيرٌ لَهُ ۚ |

184b. Wa
‘alal-laziina yutii-quunahuu fidya-tun ta-‘aamu
miskiin. Faman- tatawwa-‘a khay-ran fahuwa
khayrul-lah. |

184b. For those
who are able: a ransom of feeding a needy person. But whoever volunteers
goodness, it is better for him. |
Yutii-quunahuu – it aims “the individuals, who have to spend extraordinary strength for Fasting and to bear the toil of Fast and it becomes very difficult for them, for example; the old people, the pregnant and the mothers, who suckle their infants, the weak and feeble persons etc.
It has been discussed in this part of the verse about concession for those people, who have to bear more difficulty and trouble for keeping the Fast. They have been commanded that due to leaving the fast, they should feed bellyful any beggar or necessitous individual two times daily and the standard of the food should be the same as usually is of their own.
Then it is said that actual ransom of leaving one fast is to feed two times to any poor person for one day. But if any individual increases the quantity of the food, that is to say; if he feeds more than one poor individual or keeps the standard up of the food to a higher level, then it is much better for him. He will be rewarded surely for this goodness and kindness. His next world will also be dressed.
Islam emphasizes to alms-giving, charity, liberality, kind behavior and good conduct every time, everywhere and in every condition but during the month of Ramadaan, its importance increases. So before or at the end of this month, the Alms “Fitr” is paid. That is an important ring of this chain also, so that, none of the Muslims should remain hungry.
The Messenger of God Muhammad (ﷺ) was very much liberal and generous. But it has been known from his (ﷺ) Sayings that he (ﷺ) used to become so much generous and liberal like a fast dust storm.
We should follow the foot-prints of our Great Leader and Guide, the Last Prophet of God (ﷺ) and take part in liberality and generosity surpassing one another. Perception of hunger of the hungry and poverty of the poor will increase if someone keeps fasting. So it is necessary that this perception should remain alive during prosperity and independence, and the poor deserving people should not be forfeited from the help and support of the prosperous people.
