THE INDIGENTS SHOULD NOT BE NEGLECTED
4:15:36 2023-08-21 1519

The love for oneself and his kindred compels man to take care of their interest. There is little possibility of any neglect in this regard. Sometimes this filial attachment blinds him towards the needy and the indigent persons of the society. This detachment insulates him from his environs. Steeped in his insensitivity, his selfish interest prompts him to exploit others for his own benefit.

It amounts to committing a crime against the entire society. His social affiliations demand that he should safeguard the interest of everybody in a society. While Islam stresses his duties towards his related ones, it warns him that he should not hurt the interest of any person in the society. The society which could not protect the interest of the weak is bound to disintegrate. The Prophet (PBUH) had said:

Undoubtedly the community, in which the rights of the weaker are not safe, would not be considered good and exonerated by Allah.

Instigated by self-motivated love, the craving for luxuries would always be on the increase. In this process, rights are bound to be trespassed. Islam makes man realize that he is bound by his duties, not only towards his related ones but also towards the unrelated ones. This truth bas been drawn home in this ayah:

They ask thee how much they are to spend, say: "What is beyond your needs". Al Baqarah: 219

The word 'afoo' is used here in this ayah and it means the excess of what you have spent on yourself and your related ones. No limit has been prescribed for it and it is for the individuals to decide the limit, taking into consideration the size and the circumstances of the family. It is necessary that he should take care of the comforts of his family but at the same time he should not ignore the needs of the afflicted and the starving. He should always bear in mind that he is not only a member of a family but also a member of a society. In any society, the person who plays this twin role better would always be a better person.
