أهمية تقليل هدر الطعام في شهر رمضان

Leave a comment

عدّ شهر رمضان فرصة عظيمة للتقرّب إلى الله عز وجل ومراجعة العادات والسلوكيات اليومية، بما في ذلك العادات الغذائية. في هذا الشهر الفضيل، يدور التركيز حول الصيام والعبادة، لكن من الضروري أيضًا أن نتأمل في تأثير هدر الطعام على المجتمع والبيئة، خاصة مع ارتفاع معدلات الإسراف في الطعام خلال الإفطار والسحور. قد ورد في القرآن الكريم قوله تعالى: “وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ“ [الأعراف: 31]. هذه الآية الكريمة تضع أساسًا قويًا لمفهوم الاعتدال والوسطية في الاستهلاك، حيث ينهى الله سبحانه وتعالى عن الإسراف ويؤكد أن الاعتدال في الأكل والشرب هو سلوك محبب يرضي الله.  كما قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: “كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا وَالْبَسُوا فِي غَيْرِ إِسْرَافٍ وَلَا مَخِيلَةٍ” [رواه أحمد].  يوجهنا هذا الحديث الشريف إلى تحقيق التوازن في استهلاكنا، فالإسلام يحث على الكرم والتصدق، لكنه في الوقت ذاته يدعو إلى عدم التبذير والإسراف.  تتعدد أسباب هدر الطعام خلال شهر رمضان، ومن أبرزها تحضير كميات زائدة من … Continue reading →
