POOR
AND NEEDY
The Prophet (pbuh) declared
it the right of the poor to be fed by the whole community.

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

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:
