Who Is Poor? – The Religious Concept

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

On a particular day Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (May Allah’s peace and blessing be on him) posed the question to his cherished companions whether they knew who a broke person really is. They all replied that a broke person is the one without any money or wealth. Then he told them as follows:

“In my group the broke person is the one who will come out on the Day of judgment before Allah: Such a person had offered prayers; he had paid his compulsory alms; he had observed his compulsory fasting; But he would have mistreated somebody, he would have falsely accused someone;

He would have taken someone else belongings with no authority; he would have assassinated someone; he would have struck somebody. All his rewards will be given to the people he offended. If his virtues have finished before his wicked deeds have finished, the errors and sins of the victims would be given to him and he would be thrown into Hell.”

The holy Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (May Allah’s peace and blessing be on him) has said the truth. Such a man is really unfortunate. His circumstance is like that trader who has goods worth one thousand rupees but he is a debtor for two thousand rupees. How can such a man be called wealthy?

A spiritual man who offers certain prayers or performs certain forms of veneration but even after that commits some forms of malevolent activities, behaves rudely with the people, treats poor and the hopeless people cruelly, how can such a man be called honorable?

The Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (May Allah’s peace and blessing be on him) has thus clarified this by quoting an instance. He said that the best moral character melts error like water and bad morals spoils man’s record as vinegar ruins honey.

As Muslims we should therefore try as much as possible to avoid hurting other people’s feeling whether through our utterances or actions. It is not enough struggling to do his duties to Allah in forms of prayers or giving compulsory alms but neglecting his duties towards others or even depriving them of their rights.

All equation must be balanced on the Day of Judgment. Every individual will assert his right that has been taken away from him or her while on the Earth. The compensation is either used to compensate or the sins of the victims are added to the wrongdoer’s load.

Tour operators allow you to create your own tour if you cannot find a suitable package on the website suitable to your schedule where you can create your very own itinerary. Choose from the normal tour guides and books to create your own itinerary. Pick from any or all of the sights mentioned or request a place that was not mentioned, anywhere in Turkey. Greek Islands tours and Blue voyage cruises within Turkey are offered for private groups, big or small to fit in with your vacation period.

Rest assured that in planning your own gay vacation to Turkey, all major tourist attractions are connected with public bus transport, be it long distance or short distance.

The Turkish railways are not as reliable or comfortable as the Turkish bus service. Domestic air travel is available to and from Istanbul to the other entire local and all the international airports. Chartered flights unfortunately are available only during high tourism seasons and are rare even during the season.

When planning your gay vacation to Turkey, be sure to book well in advance, especially if you want to go during peak season to avoid missing out on any important requirement for your flights and accommodation.
