Re: Ramadan - The month of beggars
Looks like you been replaying the movie. Slumdog Millionnaire ![]()
Yes I get that too.. but Its upto the person to be vigilant and be careful of who you trust and dont. And See that who is honestly ghareeb and is in actual need of food.
What I do is if someone is in need i dont give money. I give them what they need. Say they need money for food, i take em to hotel sit and eat with them. or if they need cloths i get them cloths which are ready made. or shoes… and most of the time its usually food they ask for..so what i do is set up a tab with the hotel manager and tell him that if this person comes here to eat then i will pay for it whilst am there.. this way that begger or even of its awhole family i will pay for their food.
There are ways to go about it the RIGHT way..you just got to be careful. For example the man who stood up after taraweeh and witr. What the imam could have done is kindly sat him down, and ask him what his problems were and what hes in need of. Then decide if hes in need and tell him that we ll solve it as a community.
