Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) said: "Charity is prescribed for each descendant of
Adam every day the sun rises." He was then asked: "From what do we give
charity every day?" The Prophet answered: "The doors of goodness are
many...enjoining good, forbidding evil, removing harm from the road,
listening to the deaf, leading the blind, guiding one to the object of his
need, hurrying with the strength of one's legs to one in sorrow who is
asking for help, and supporting the feeble with the strength of one's
arms--all of these are charity prescribed for you." He also said: "Your
smile for your brother is charity." - Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number

district...

By Aditya Ghosh Murshidabad, West Bengal
Dayarampur, a village
in Murshidabad district, 230 km north of Kolkata, was brought on the cellular
service map a couple of weeks ago by the prime minister. A proud moment for
villagers, one might think. But of what use are mobile connections in a
village where many don’t get a morsel to eat.
