Allah, in His infinite mercy, consistently emphasizes the importance of assisting those in need. He goes to the extent of stating that righteousness cannot be achieved without giving sufficient charity (Quran 3:92). However, in today's fast-paced world inundated with media; we often become desensitized to the hardships endured by the less fortunate.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to remember that their suffering is unimaginable, and even a small contribution from our wealth can bring about a significant change in Islam, a beautiful religion characterized by love, care, and mercy for others. Allah SWT assures us that whatever we give in charity is like a loan to Him, promising to multiply and return it with a noble reward (Quran 57:18). This further adds to the beauty of Islam, as every act of empathy and caring for our fellow brothers and sister increases our abundance and blessings from Allah SWT. Uplifting the vulnerable members of our society is the golden rule in Islam; as the Prophet (PBUH) said, "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Sahih Bukhari).
