Muslim Students Serve Free Meals at Derby Eatery During Mid-Term

Vacations can be a time to rest, relax, meditate, play, and recharge physical and emotional batteries.

But for Muslim students in Derby, the upcoming October mid-term gave them an opportunity to help those impacted by the high cost of living in their town, Derby Telegraph reported.

Cooperating with Tarka restaurant, members of Derby’s Young Muslim Organization will serve free food for all school children from Monday, October 24, until Friday, October 28.

“We understand the cost of living crisis is affecting everyone. All children from all faiths and backgrounds welcome.”

The initiative has received a positive response across social media.

One Instagram user said: “Credit to the community of Derby,” while another added: “Well done team for setting this up, if only we could encourage more businesses to do something similar.”

Generosity and charity are generally blessed in Islamic Shari`ah.

A similar initiative to help the less fortunate was led by 13 young members of the Muslim community in Derry, North Ireland, who successfully raised about £800 to help a local food bank during Ramadan.
