I find this article very distressing.

The ayat you have referred to from the Qu’ran are orders from our creator to give the poor, oppressed and needy their rights. Also in the same Qu’ran and Sunnah of our prophet, are specific details for a TRUE SOLUTION to Global Poverty affecting Muslim and Non MUSLIMs.

This quite simply is the practical application of the Islamic way of life in its entirety. Meaning the complete practical application of the divine Shariah Laws by a Khilafah system. This is fundamentally the only solution and not a solution or a far off solution.

We can help our local communities to help alleviate suffering but the solution from reality and the Qu’ran and Sunnah is for the ummah to return to the Islamic way of life.

May Allah bless you for making the effort to write this article and for proposing some activity, however I advise you with a sincere heart inshallah to consider spending your time and energy as well in understanding the Islamic Economic system, social system, ruling system that needs to be implemented in the Muslim world 1st. Then inshallah this can be a beacon and a practical saviour all those who are oppressed and in poverty.
