Fighting Poverty using the Islamic ways

Allah created Man to be the vicegerent of Allah on earth (Al-Quran, 2:30). He has given us more than we need yet inequality still exists. Because of greed and the love for dunya (worldly matter), the rich become richer and the poor become poorer. It has been stated in the Qur'an that all the bad things that have been happening to us have been preordained by Allah. Perhaps some of you are taking negatively about it and some, positively. I believe Allah created the hardships to us as means of elevating us and removing our sins. Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and God will certainly will know those who are true from those who are false. (Al-Quran, 29:2-3) Remember, we are sent to this world with a purpose, i.e to worship Allah SWT. As a Muslim, of course we want to gain Allah's love in this world as well the HereAfter. Therefore, we should strive to follow the practice of Allah's Beloved Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings be upon him). The guidance are all in the Quran and Ahadith. This blog is mainly to suggest solutions to reduce poverty based on the Qur'an and Ahadith as well as to remind each other why we are here today. We live for a purpose. We don't live to exist but we exist to live. We can fight this disease, inshaAllah.
