HELPING THE WEAK

CLASS 5 - LESSON 9
HELPING THE WEAK
Helping the weak does not just mean helping those people who are not very strong,
but it means to give your help to those people who do not have very much money or
who are ill or needy.
A NEEDY person is one who NEEDS
help.
Allah has said in Qur'an that anyone who
has any money should give some to the
needy.
When we help those people who are not
as well of as we are, then we should also
thank Allah that we are blessed with so
much.
Since Allah has given us so much, we
should use some of it to help others. This
means that we are using our wealth
properly, the way we are meant to, rather
than just spending it on luxuries and
useful things.
Think of how weak we are, and Allah still helps us. We should then try and help all
the poor, all the injured, and all the ones who do not have as much as we have.
We don't have to be rich and powerful to help others. If we have some spare time,
we can go to the hospital to visit some of the elderly or ill people there. All we have
to do is chat with them so that they do not feel lonely, or cheer them up. We can find
some elderly people around our area, and do their shopping for them, or help them
in their garden.
If we help others, then on the Day of Judgment, Allah will help us.
