FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)

A Pakistani Journalist on Wednesday shared a video wherein people are returning the rations distributed by the Ahmadi relief workers in Karachi. According to reports, the Ahmadi workers had distributed the ration amongst the poor people on Tuesday night. However, it came to their knowledge on Wednesday morning that it was distributed by the minorities Ahmadiyas, following which a communal sentiment caused discord.

Pakistan’s ministry of religious affairs and interfaith harmony under PM Imran Khan has excluded Ahmadiyas from the National Commission of Minorities (NCM), citing that their issue is ‘religiously & historically sensitive’. There have been multiple reports of persecution of minorities in Pakistan including the Ahmadiyyas, whom the state fails to recognize as a sect amongst Muslims.
