 Hunger
is a major problem in many parts of the world where famine is a
cause of substantial deaths. UWT Emergency food packages are
composed of a variety of staple foodstuffs which cover the major
food groups. These are usually distributed in areas which are in
need of emergency relief as well as in abnormally poor areas. Costs
vary.Islamic
teachings are very emphatic on the need for the Muslim community to
take responsibility over the less fortunate. When the need is
greater, the instructions of responsibility are all the more
resounding: the responsibility becomes a part of true faith.
The Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him) has said, It is not becoming of a Muslim to
sleep on a full stomach while those around him (his neighbours) go
hungry.
(al-Hakim, al-Bayhaqi, at-Tabarani,
and al-Bukhari in al-Adab al-Mufrad) |
