Islamic views on the poor

Answer 1

In Islam the poor are helped by zakah (one of the 5 pillars) in which anyone who can gives 2.5% of their earnings. Most people will enquire about the poor that drink and do drugs. In Islam these are not Muslims so they will not be helped.

Answer 2

Charity is very important in Islam, it is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which is known as Zakaat. In Islam, it is compulsory to give at least 2.5% of your income to charity, as in Africa, disabled children or similar.

Answer 3

Islam teaches that all provisions and income come from God. Before a person is born, God decrees what that person's income will be during his/her life. Because of this, Muslims do not judge a person by her/his wealth, but, instead, by his/her manners and achievements, both in public and in private life.

Answer 4

poverty is a fate as the wealth is, in either cases the person has a test from Allah, what to do & what not to do, for example: both the poor & the rich have to be thankful to Allah at all cases, the poor has to work & not to give up, he has not to be jealous of the rich & not to steel anything from him. The rich has to help the poor because this is a must on him required by Allah, he has to give alms ,charity or sadaqa as in Arabic & he has not to boast or to be conceited because Allah is the Rich.

Also, Islam put many laws & recommendations to solve the poverty problem & it's able to do this according to the Islamic history .
