This video made me cry, sister cat eyes.
Thank you for the reminder ...

World poverty is a global problem - it reaches beyond religions, races or nations.

We should lay aside our differences and help eradicate world poverty for all people.

When people are dying of hunger, disease and cold, it doesn't matter which religion they belong to or whether they are male/female, black or white ... their human suffering is the same!
 
Insha allah in Ramadaan.
But zakaat is compulsory, insha allah I hope to give in sadaqah. May allah accept from me and the rest of the ummah. Hopefully, if I can remove the misery of another then insha allah Allah will remove me from misery on the day of qiyamah. Ameen.
 
cmon muslims, ive seen how generously you pour money into the mosque donation sack at jumma when everybody is there. Allah is always watching so give as much in zakat when noone else is watching
 
Alhamdulilah this thread got 71 views already i want to keep this thread going inshallah :)

Yes your right dear gloimsad
 
ameen, I really don't understand why poverty exists when there is so much food :( look at all the food that gets thrown away because it goes out of date or no one buys it.

If that is the case, then they are very much in the wrong!
Action should be taken against anybody who acts in such a way and neglects to help people just because they don't belong to the 'right group'. It is unethical and immoral!

That reminds me of something else. I understand that zakat is intended to help and further Muslims only.
I find that quite difficult to get my head round, when there are people from other faiths and none, who are also starving and suffering.

Should we not fight WORLD poverty; i.e the poverty of all in need, instead of the poverty of specific people only?

That's okay. I remembered a thread in which I asked about zakat several months ago.
I have bumped it up now.

Ummu Sufyaan, with all due respect, but you continue to read hidden agendas into my posts, which simply aren't there. I'm afraid you are being paranoid.



Anyway, no more about that.
I think it is unfair to derail sister cat eye's thread, in which she reminds us to help the poor and disadvantaged.
Surely we can stand behind her and support that cause? Please??

shifting the blame doesn't help your cause either madam. besides isn't it against Christian teachings to lie?

Anyway, no more about that.

I totally agree with you.
Therefore, you should write to condemn all churches in Indonesia who only use money they collect from their congregrations for the benefits/interests of christians and the church instead of feeding and clothing many poor hungry muslims in this country and tell them about their obligations (I assume this is an obligation from bible, right?) to help the poor regardless of their religions.
Oh also, could you please tell the missionaries that work actively in Indonesia that withholding food to non-christians poor because they will not convert to christianity is against christian teaching on top of being unethical and immoral?

see above.

Also, in the other thread titled "zakat" it is already explained very thoroughly about zakat and sadaqoh.

I know. The thread 'Zakat' is very helpful.
I only bumped it up again after I had written the post you quoted from. In fact, it was my conversation with Ummu Sufyaan, which prompted me to search for the 'Zakat' thread.

you haven't addressed the points Br. Naidamar highlighted.. or is 'unethical and immoral' only confined to you very stringent definitions and from which you obviously exempt your churches and religion?

Fair is fair. If a Christian is expected to do that, then so should all muslims write to Islamic organisations and tell them the same. Did anyone not see Glo saying those missionaries are wrong if they do that. But does anyone see that? Why are people so intent on focusing on people's mistake's all the time. It's like a freaking alligator pond in here. We need to fix ourselves before fixing others. I don't care what anyone thinks of me saying this. I'll say what is only fair. Every frikkin thread turns into a heap of crap with fingers pointing here and there. Even muslims don't spare each other. I'm sick of it. Everyone is eating each other like hungry animals. Dang!

Correction = almost everyone*
