those with high posts are given a lot of respect. The feelings of poor people are hurt, they are mocked for their poverty, and are humbled before the rich. The rich also desire to be treated differently, they want time to be taken out for them especially, and they want all attention to be on them in that time. The rich consider it an insult to their status if a poor person sits next to them, sitting with the poor puts them off, shaking hands with the poor covers their hands in ‘germs’. Similarly, some bosses and wealthy people have a habit of mocking the poor, calling them by abhorrent names, and sometimes they humiliate them by ridiculing them; due to which the poor person is hurt. But that helpless poor person cannot say anything to the wealthy man, due to his poverty and destitution. Such a wealthy person needs to wake up and repent from such things!

Blessings of showing kindness to poor people

By Allah! Fortunate are those believers who help the poor and the needy, who bring smiles on the faces of those of who cry, and those believers who remove the worries of the distressed. Showing compassion to the creation of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the best way of attaining the pleasure of Allah Almighty. Those who show mercy to the poor, Allah Almighty showers such mercy and generosity on them that their life blossoms in all aspects. This is a well experienced fact, that a person feels unexplainable happiness when he helps a needy person; the heart finds peace by helping the poor. Only those who have experienced this can understand this.

Therefore we should look out for our poor Muslim brothers, treat them with love and compassion, bring them happiness, help them, remove their worries, have mercy on them and respect them.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
