Service and Help to The Creation
We live in the society. There are rich people as well as the poor
ones and also there are the needy ones. There are people who
don't have money and wealth or landed property. If they have
any, that is very small in quantity. They are poor and needy.
They don't get food according to their need, don't get clothes,
place to live, nursing or treatment in illness. Because they are
needy and poor. They suffer from the scarcity of money. They
don't have money to buy food, clothes and medicine. Their life
is very miserable. We shall serve and help them always within
our capability.
Our great Prophet (Sm) said, on the day of Last judgment Allah
will say, I was hungry, you did not give me food. I was without
clothes; you did not give me clothes. I was sick, you did not
nurse me. Men will say, oh Almighty! You are free from all
these necessities. Allah will say: There were needy and sick
ones around you, if you would have nursed and helped them
that would have been the service to me. I would have been glad.
We have come to know that, Allah becomes happy if we help
human beings. He becomes much more happy if we serve and
help the needy ones and the destitutes. But in spite of having
scopes, those do not help the poor, do not serve the afflicted
ones, Allah becomes displeased and unsatisfied with them.
