Here’s some authentic narration from our beloved Prophet (s.a.w):
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Gabriel continued to recommend me about treating the neighbors Kindly and politely so much so that I thought he would order me to make them as my heirs.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَا زَالَ يُوصِينِي جِبْرِيلُ بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ ".

b) Feeding Those in Need
The value of feeding the needing hold very high esteem in Islam as believers, we are always striving to follow the footstep our beloved prophet (s.a.w):
Mujahid narrated:
"Abdullah bin Amr had a sheep slaughtered for his family, so when he came, he said: 'Have you given some to our neighbor, the Jew? Have you given some to our neighbor, the Jew? I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'Jibril continued to advise me about (treating) the neighbors so (kindly and politely), that I thought he would order me (from Allah) to make them heirs."

The act of feeding those in need holds great importance in Islam. As believers, we strive to follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), who emphasized care for neighbors and those less fortunate.
Abu Dharr reported:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded me:
"Whenever you prepare a broth, add water to it, and keep in mind the members of your neighbors’ households. Then, give them a portion of it with courtesy."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ إِنَّ خَلِيلِي صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْصَانِي " إِذَا طَبَخْتَ مَرَقًا فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهُ ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِكَ فَأَصِبْهُمْ مِنْهَا بِمَعْرُوفٍ " .

As a community, we are committed to helping reduce hunger by offering food distribution services and supporting the most vulnerable members of our society. This effort is rooted in the values of compassion and generosity emphasized in Islam.
Islamic Education for the Next Generation
As a community, it is our responsibility to educate the next generation about Islamic values, virtues, and principles. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) placed great emphasis on the importance of gaining knowledge and being well-grounded in religious matters.
Narrated in the following Hadiths:
Anas ibn Malik reported:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
“Seking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.”
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

Narrated Aisha (r.a.a):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Such a person as recites the Qur'an and master’s it by heart, will be with the noble righteous scribes (in Heaven). And such a person exerts himself to learn the Qur'an by heart, and recites it with great difficulty, will have a double reward."
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زُرَارَةَ بْنَ أَوْفَى، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهْوَ حَافِظٌ لَهُ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهْوَ يَتَعَاهَدُهُ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ شَدِيدٌ، فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ ".
