Jazak Allah Khair for this awesome thought provoking article,if we all play our part and contribute even a small amount,it all adds up and Allah SWT puts Barakah in it,I agree with the comment that we should also strive to make people independent so they can earn their own living,we should all look around us and not miss a chance to either educate someone,assist someone in either their educational/vocational achievement with good intention and it would go a long way in sha Allah.

every year charity organization spend billions of money for food in place likes of underdeveloped countries of asia and africa. Even after spending their condition is as same it is or worse than before. where does the fund goes. is it mishandled. or is it not monitored by the organization. ? instead of giving food we need to make them to make way for their food. we should find job for them.

Wow.. a really nice place to visit I have to say.. And the best way to end world hunger is obligation of zakat must be proclaimed to all sides so that the gap between the rich and the poor is not too wide. Well, it will require a lot of effort so that it can be realized. Yess, we need a caliph!

I would agree with the comments made that there are organizations who collect a great amount to help those in poverty, many charity groups but the reality is that on the ground people are dying of hunger, clean water etc. To believe that there is not enough resources is a cover up by those who gain from it, the world powers. It comes down to how the economy is handled. In todays reality how the economic system works its to fill the pockets of the rich and not concern themselves with those who are in need. You have many empty slogans by multinational companies and so called G8 Countries to end poverty but no real solutions. If we look to the economic system that Muhammad saw established we can see how He saw dealt with poverty etc. One is collect Zakat correctly which is a job of the State, ( Muhammad saw would send assistance to collect zakat put it in the Baytul Mahl the treasury and spend on the categories mentioned in the Quran) Also allow farmers, local people to grow, make and sell goods not just multinational companies. These are just 2 examples. The world needs such solutions. Jazak Allah for the tips, we as individuals need to give, share and be mindful of others.

In reply to mohammad.

Salam.
What we need is not jobs for the less fortunate. Arable land and people teaching them how to produce food. If one cannot grow product x then someone else will. All foods taken to a local market where everyone can take what they need. You don’t need money to grow your food; you only need good seeds – non-GMO seeds.

@ Nazia and Mohammad. I would encourage you to have a look at the Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign which aims to address the long-term causes behind hunger and covers a lot of the issues that Nazia talks about such as land grabs. Please visit http://www.madeineurope.org.uk/ifcampaign.
