Stand by helpless cold people
Winter is very difficult for poor and destitute people. When winter comes, the poor and helpless people get cold. They need cold protection more than food.
They do not have the least means of protection from the harshness of the cold currents. As a result, the suffering of the helpless and the poor only increases. All in all, many people are suffering from winter diseases due to lack of winter clothes. Old people, children and poor people on the sidewalks also die for lack of warm clothes. It is the religious duty of every believer to protect them from the bone-shaking winter and to extend their helping hands based on their ability. It is also one of the worships.
In this context, the Holy Qur'an has stated, "In their (wealthy) wealth, the needy and the deprived have rights" (Surah Zariat: 19). In the same regard, Allah Rabbul Alamin mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, "They give food to the poor, orphans and captives in response to Allah's pleasure and His call" (Surah Dahar-8). Hazrat Abu Saeed (R.A.) said, Huzoor (S.A.W.) said that "If a Muslim gives clothes to another Muslim to cover his lack of clothes, Allah will clothe him with the green clothes of Jannah" (Tirmidhi). Rasulullah (SAW) said, "You feed the hungry, take care of the sick, clothe the naked and set the prisoner free" (Bukhari). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, O Bani Adam! If you donate surplus money, it will be good and if you withhold it, it will be bad' (Abu Dawud). Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "As long as a servant helps his brother, Allah helps his servant". (Muslim) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Whoever gives clothes to another Muslim without clothes, Allah will clothe him in green clothes in Paradise, if he gives food he will feed him the fruits of Paradise, if he gives him water he will make him drink the juice of Paradise' (Abu Dawood). Sharif).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, "Whoever fulfills one of the needs of others in this world, Allah will fulfill his 100 needs in the Hereafter, and if someone extends a helping hand in the suffering of a servant, Allah will show mercy to him" (Muslim Sharif). Man is the best creature in creation. A part of those people in the society are poor. They are an integral part of our society. They are also entitled to the minimum basic rights to live as human beings. Therefore, it is essential to show sincere love and compassion towards the poor, helpless, and distressed. Let us all, from human values, extend our hands of cooperation on the basis of ability to the helpless people who live on the pavements or under the open sky in winter.
Acts of kindness are a massive part of Islam, especially giving to charity, which is considered an act of worship. This means that giving to those less fortunate helps Muslims to strengthen their faith and build a closer connection to Allah (SWT). One of the most rewarding acts of charity a believer can make is Sadaqah Jariyah. This holds greater value than other forms of giving in Islam and can provide continuous benefits to both the giver and the receiver. Your Sadaqah Jariyah can create a meaningful difference to countless vulnerable lives around the world, providing them with life-saving care and resources that give them self-sufficiency.
Give Sadaqah Jariyah with Muslim Aid to save lives continuously for many years to come.
