[quote]<p align=justify>This world has not seen any period of time when there were no people who were suffering and in need to financial help. It may be true for a particular region in a particular era that people were so affluent that they would not need financial help. But not about mankind in commonality!

<p align=justify>If we assume, for a moment, that Pakistani people are not in need of financial help, then there is the whole Africa which is in dire need of help. I am not saying that we should not extend financial help to others. What I am saying is that this world has never seen a time when people were not afflicted with plight and miseries unimaginable. Unless and until, some real responsibility is rest on our shoulder, we cannot let go of important practices which attach us to the Lord. Moreover, it is these practices which remind us of Allah and infuse us with the spirit to spend in His way. If we were to renounce these practices for the sake of poverty alleviation, we would eventually end up spending nothing or spending only to boast and show off. Why? Because there would be no remembrance of God as a result of giving up religious practices.
