benefit Needy Americans in your Community and
communities across the country.
The Prophet
Mohammed (May the Blessings of Allah be upon him) repeatedly tells
us that we are responsible for our neighbors. This is illustrated
through Hadith: “He is not a believer who lets himself be satiated
while his neighbor goes hungry”. Islam offers a blueprint to the
prevention of these problems by strengthening societal walls, and
defining the goals of charitable giving.
Although America is the “Land of Plenty”, there is no
lack of poverty, no shortage of people who are hungry.
Recent reports show that one in five children in the US
go to bed hungry, while the ranks of the poor continue
to grow: single mothers, immigrants, the elderly, and
the working poor. In 2005, it is estimated that more
than 36 percent of those served by food pantries, soup
kitchens, and shelters were children.
A universally
compassionate faith, Islam teaches us that
there is no distinction between a hungry Muslim or a
hungry non-Muslim. A person who is suffering here in
America is just as deserving as someone who is in
distress elsewhere.
