FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
Protesters throw a statue of Edward Colston into Bristol harbour during a Black Lives Matter protest rally ( PA )
Few would have thought a statue of a 17th-century merchant in Bristol would interest revolutionaries abroad.
But this week several of my WhatsApp groups were ablaze with discussions about the video of anti-racism protesters throwing the statue of British slave trader Edward Colston into Bristol’s harbour.
Colston was a member of the Royal African Company, which transported about 80,000, men women and children, from Africa to the Americas as slaves. Part of this wealth from the slave trade helped build vast swathes of the city.
