Masses of our country are faced with complex problems in the modern age. The fact that people are being grinded by gigantic problems like poverty, ignorance and lack of basic facilities etc is not hidden from any one. Most of our people are deprived of the basic health facilities. One third of our population does not have clean drinking water. If measured from the other countries in terms of health, education and income, the sad fact crops up that Pakistan ranks at lower position than others. 60 million population of Pakistan out of total 160 million is deprived of clean drinking water. More than 100 million people are illiterate. Thousands of children die due to lack of proper medical facilities. Hundreds of thousands do not have proper food to feed themselves two times a day. Poverty is a great stumbling block and stunts the educational careers of countless promising Pakistani students. Girls of marriageable age cannot get married due to lack of financial resources and dowry etc. There is no public arrangement for looking after widowed, helpless and the poor in society. There is a need to make practical efforts for the welfare of the suffering humanity in these deplorable conditions.

I categorically believe in Huquq-ul-Ebad (rights of the human being) along with Huquq-Allah (rights of Allah) I also believe in helping the needy persons in a way that even the other hand should not know about it. I have been practicing this way of helping deprived people for years. 2005 was the most distressed year of my life when my beloved mother passed away. Putting aside the grief of my personal loss, I decided to broaden my efforts towards public welfare and two years after in Ramazan 1428 Hijri (September, 2007) this dream came true in a way that Allah enabled me to establish a welfare foundation to serve the needy persons on a large scale. I named it Mahmooda Sultana Foundation (MSF) after the name of my mother. With the help of philanthropists in the society I have broaden my efforts in giving hand to people. So lets join hands with me in helping and facilitating the people who are in dire need of our support.
You will find, as you look back on your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others. Believe me no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

How to care for the people? Here are the instructions from Quran.

 

And [in the daytime and at night] be diligent in the prayer and pay zakah and [for the cause of your religion and state] lend to Allah (swt) a befitting loan, and [remember] whatever good you send forth for yourselves you shall find it with Allah (swt) better than before and greater in reward. (73:20)

In the verse quoted above, and at numerous other places in the Quran, Muslims are directed to pay zakah from their wealth. After the salah (the prayer), it is the second important worship ritual in Islam. Among the various mannerisms which man has generally adopted to worship deities, one is to present before them a part of their wealth, livestock and produce. In the religion of the prophets, this is the essence of zakah, and on this very basis, it is has been regarded as a ritual of worship. The names like sadqah and nadhr are also used for it. The Quran has used the word sadqah for it in various verses, and has explained that it should be paid with humility:

Those who are diligent in the prayer, pay zakah such that [their hearts] bow [down in humility]. (5:55)

And those who whenever give, give such that their hearts are filled with awe knowing that they will have to return to their Lord. (23:60)

Zakah is a share imposed on ones wealth and has been reserved for Allah (swt). The Quranic directive: (give away what is due of them upon the harvest day, (6:141)) refers to this very aspect. The general custom about it has been that once it has been presented, it is taken from the place of worship and given to its keepers so that they are able to serve the needs of the worshippers from this money. In our shariah, this practice has been discontinued. We have been directed to give this money to our rulers so that the needs of the state can be met; however, this change does not affect the essence of zakah. It is reserved for the Almighty and when His servants pay it, the decision for accepting it also comes from Him. The Quran says:

Do they not know that Allah (swt) Himself accepts the repentance of His servants and takes their charities? (9:104)

The importance of this ritual of worship can be understood from the fact that like the prayer the Almighty has regarded it as a pre-requisite for a person to be a Muslim. The Quran says:(If they repent, become diligent in the prayer and pay zakah, they are your brethren in religion, (9:11)). It is evident from the Quran that after the prayer, it is the second manifestation of faith. It is apparent from the verses of Surah Muminun and Surah Maarij, which have been quoted earlier in the section on the prayer, that among righteous deeds, paying zakah is second to offering the prayer. Consequently, it is stated in the Quran with this very status, and at one place while mentioning the idolaters the Almighty has said that they do not pay zakah; for this very reason, they are the ones who are the real rejecters of accountability in the Hereafter:

And woe betide the idolaters, who do not pay the zakah, and it is these who reject the Hereafter. (41:6-7)
The Prophet (saww) has also delineated the importance of zakah:

Abu Hurayrah (RA) narrates that the Prophet (saww) said:

He who was given wealth by the Almighty and he did not pay its zakah, this wealth will be made into a bald snake for him, on whose eyes there will two black dots, and on the Day of Judgement his neck shall be shackled with this snake. Then he will clasp his cheeks and say: I am you wealth; I am your treasure .1

Abu Dharr (RA) narrates that the Prophet (saww) said:

A person who has camels, cows and goats and he does not pay the right imposed them, then these [animals] will be brought before him on the Day of Judgement such that they will be very large and fat; they will stamp him below their feet and strike him with their horns. When the first will pass, the next will take its place. This will keep happening until the judgement is delivered for all the people.2

It is stated in the Quran that similar will be the case of those heads and instances in which wealth should be spent besides zakah about which the Almighty directed people to spend money:

And to those who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah (swt) give them glad tidings of a dreadful punishment. The day when in Hell their treasures shall be heated, then their foreheads, sides, and backs branded with them: These are the riches which you hoarded. Taste then what you were hoarding.(9:34-35)

The Quran has stated this objective of zakah in the following very appropriate words:

Take zakah from their wealth [O Prophet!] in order to purify them with it. (9:103)

And that which you give as zakah, seeking Allahs (swt) countenance, it is these people who will increase their wealth [in the Hereafter]. (30:39)
