10. Caring for the poor

 10. Caring for the poor

Ramadan is termed as month of Charity & Caring for the needy. We see that all the believers search ways to help the poor by giving Zakat, Sadaqat, Fitr etc to seek pleasure of Allah the Almighty. When this month arrives, we should do the following:

• 1.       Make a list of poor relatives and give them priority in helping them
• 2.       Check among your friend circle someone might be well off earlier but may be struggling now and cannot ask openly for help.
• 3.       See among your neighbour who deserves your help.
• 4.       Look after the People who completely engage themselves for community cause and get very less time to take care of themselves like Imam, Moazzan, Social activist etc.
• 5.       Try to avoid the professional beggar who lives their complete life by begging.
• 6.       Find out about some people who are in jails and could not afford to arrange money for bail out.
• You can plan to help either by giving food, clothes or better money so that they can settle their dues

وعن سلمان قال : خطبنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم  وشهر المواساة وشهر يزداد فيه رزق المؤمن

•        حضرت سلمان فارسی ؓ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول کریم ﷺ نے فرمایا کہ لوگو! ماہ رمضان غم خواری کا مہینہ ہے اور یہ وہ مہینہ ہے جس میں مومن کا  رزق زیادہ کیا جاتا ہے

•        It is the month of charity, and a month in which a believer's sustenance is increased. (Bayhaqi)
