			The next question from Hamas, Saudi Lucknow, India. I am a student. Sir, you are a great Muslim
influencer for the sama sama Hindu
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:36
			tutor asked me that if I had only one bread. And a hungry man comes and asks me for the food, and we
both are dying of hunger. What does Islam say in such a situation? Should I eat? Or should I give
him? It's a very tricky question, asked by the teacher of mama sewed
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:58
			that if you're hungry, and you're dying of hunger, and another hungry man comes and need to dying of
hunger, and you have only one piece of bread. So what do you eat it yourself over to give it to the
hungry man? What does Islam teach you? Regarding the reply for such a situation is, depending upon
the situation,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			if the hungry man who comes and realize
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			that
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:21
			he's dying of hunger, and I am dying of hunger to and if we both can survive by having half a loaf
of bread, then I will make that bread into half, give him one half and eat the other half.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			There may be a situation
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:39
			that dangly men may be a non Muslim, he may not be used to hunger, I'm a Muslim, I'm used to
fasting. And I know that maybe do I am hungry, I can survive more for a couple of days. And that
hungry non Muslim man,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:51
			he is not used to staying hungry. And if he doesn't get food, maybe in the next few hours, he will
die. So what I will do, I will give the complete loaf of bread to that non Muslim man,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:03
			knowing very well that I'm used to fasting and I can maybe survive for the next few days. And I will
pray to Allah subhanaw taala, that he provided me food as soon as possible.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:11
			You may ask me that, what is the logic behind this? The logic behind this is that Allah says in the
Quran
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:55
			in surah, Isaiah, chapter number five, was committed to that if anyone kills any other human being,
unless it be for murder, or for spreading corruption in the land, it is as though he has killed the
whole of humanity. This was says if any Muslim, kills any other innocent human being, whether it be
a Muslim or non Muslim, it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity. And there was
continuous, if you save any human being, it is as though you have saved the whole of humanity. This
was, I do not find in any other scripture except the Buddhist Quran. That if you kill one innocent
human being, you have killed the whole of humanity. That means killing any innocent human being is
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:39
			prohibited. It is haram. It is a second major sin in Islam. And there was continues that if you save
one innocent human being, it's as though you've saved the whole of humanity. So you're knowing very
well that I'm used to fasting. I can stay hungry for a longer time. I have an opportunity, an easy
opportunity of saving one human life. So if that non Muslim who's not used to staying hungry, and is
dying of hunger, I will give my loaf of bread to him and pray to Allah subhanaw taala me Save me and
even God forbid if I die, because I've saved one human being. It is as though I've saved the whole
of humanity inshallah, inshallah, Allah will put mujin for themselves question
