Charity, an important way of bringing justice to society. And justice being the essence of religion, Islam has made charity obligatory and binding upon all those who embrace the faith, laying the greatest emphasis on the support of the needy and destitute members of society. It is thus a sacred duty of the affluent to give part of their wealth to fulfil the needs of deprived members of the community. A society can flourish only when its members do not spend all their wealth on the satisfaction of their own desires, but reserve a portion of it for parents, relatives, neighbors, the poor and the needy. As the saying goes: Charity begins at home. A true believer, after meeting the needs of his family, is thus always prepared to assist other people in need of his help.
Charity, in its broadest sense, has been called Sadaqa in Islam. The Holy Quran says: “By no means shall you attain righteousness unless you give of that which you love.” (THE QURAN 3: 92) The law of Zakat (to take from the wealthy and give to the poor) rotates wealth in such a way as to balance social inequality.
By keeping this in mind QKIC’s Social Welfare Wing doing many works focusing the poor people among the expatriate community.
