Care with compassion: Muslim Charity distributes food and Iftar to street children of Dhaka

In Bangladesh, Muslim Charity organised the Iftar project and food distributions to the street children of Dhaka. At this occasion, Muslim Charity representative, Fazlul Karim said; “It is important for me to share the joy of good food during this blessed month of Ramadan with these innocent souls. I am following the Sunnah of Allah’s (most high) Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was particularly compassionate towards children. When he saw a child crying, he sat beside him or her and shared his or her feelings. He felt the pain of a mother for her child more than the mother herself. Once he said: “I stand in prayer and wish to prolong it. However, I hear the cry of a child and cut the prayer short for the anxiety which the mother is feeling.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Muslim Charity believes that education is one of the primary tools to break the vicious circle of child poverty. The inclusion of orphan and vulnerable children is not only a matter of social justice and the realisation of the rights of children and their wellbeing but also vital for the future of a peaceful society.
