POOR
AND NEEDY
The Prophet (pbuh) declared
it the right of the poor to be fed by the whole community.
The Quran encourages Muslims to look for those people who
may not "look" poor but may be in need. The Quran
encourages Muslims to give openly and/or secretly. Zakat is
one of the five pillars of Islam. Social justice is one of
the major concerns of Islam's economic system.
We must ask ourselves what
are we as Muslims doing for the poor and needy?
Let's share our thoughts on
the topic and bring those Muslim individuals and communities
who are working for the cause of the poor in the lime light:

Ayah of the Day
|
|
And (remember) when you met (the army of the disbelievers on the Day of the battle of Badr), He showed them to you as few in your eyes and He made you appear as few in their eyes, so that Allâh might accomplish a matter already ordained (in His Knowledge), and to Allâh return all matters (for decision). [Al-Anfal 8 : 44]
