Islam is reducing poverty through many ways, some of them are:
- Persuading Muslims to help the poor through charities and other kinds of support
- Considering Zakah or Alms giving as one of the 5 pillars of Islam which is mandatory on Muslims who can afford it. Allah says: "Of their wealth, take alms so you may purify and sanctify them." [9:103]
The word Zakah means purification and growth. Our possessions are purified by setting aside that portion of it for those in need. Each Muslim calculates his or her own Zakah individually. For most purposes, this involves the payment of 2.5% of one's capital, each Hijra year, provided that this capital reaches a certain minimum amount that which is not consumed by its owner through this year. A generous person can pay more than this amount, though it is treated and rewarded as voluntary charity (Sadaqah). This amount of money is provided to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, and can be used in many useful projects for the welfare of the community.
- Persuading Muslims to avoid greediness and selfishness
- Prophet saying that no Muslim enters the paradise if he sleeps eating well while knowing his neighbor is hungry
- Forbidding bribery and considering sinful both the bribery doner and receiver.
- Persuading Muslims to work not to one's needs but to one's capacity
- encouraging work and considering it rewarded by God as ritual worship and calling for seeking the high quality during work.
