(The "Pulitzer prize" winning photo was taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine striken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometre away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken. Three months later he comitted suicide due to depression)

When i saw the picture I was shocked...Is it really a human being like me? what's the difference between me and this poor little child?

All around the world there are lots of people who are living in poverty. They are everywhere, in my country, in your country, everywhere...

We are that much immersed in OUR lives that we hardly think about those people who are so poor that can't even have something to eat...

sometimes I think what would happen if I were  like them? If i had no place to live and nothing to eat? 

Sometimes I ask myself How can I help them?

And then I can find no answer

I don't have that much money to give them...

Have you ever thought about the poor people too?

What can we do for them?

This is so thouchingn impressive fact......

when we think about this.....

we will understand how in this live, there are a lot of people that live in misery life more n more under us.....BUT sometimes we don't think about it n feel we're lack n lack.....so it make us not too clever to grateful to Allah.

 

What can we do????

 

This is one of fact influenced by policy of Goverment that don't too care with condition like this.

if we can, of course we can help them with what ever we can do. material, prays or other. we also can effort thhrough how to change thoughts in societies related this condition. who should responsible with conditions like this.

I also have the same thought with you Felicity, when I saw poor people on the street in my country... I have my feeling hurt, and I pray to god, to give me a change to help them..

Just don't forget to give your "zakat" to them.. God will give you more and more, so you can help them more.
