Supporting Needy of the Society: Reflections from the Sīrah A Special Discourse in the Context of Corona Pandemic
Abstract
Prophet of Mercy, Muhammad (peace be upon him) always supported deprived, underprivileged and helpless people. He preferred to help and uplift the oppressed people of the society. His support was not confined to his blood relatives only. He used to support orphans, non-Muslims and slaves all alike, providing them with all kinds of support and protective measures. The recent Covid-19 pandemic infected millions of people all over the world. Many countries imposed strict lockdown to stop spreading the virus which halted the economic activities and resulted in the financial crisis in the society. In this critical situation, people need extra financial support from influential members of society. This article elaborates the supportive and protective attitude of the Prophet (peace be upon him) towards needy people. Multiple examples from Sīrah are quoted and arguments are made on the basis of the practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The study concludes that it is a responsibility of influential people to support and stand by those who are in need. This practice will help society flourish and establish a loving bondage between rich and poor for mutual harmony and cordial social behaviour among themselves
