In peace, hard work and blood sweat earnings are better than begging. The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) himself set a practical example of hard work and sacrifice before the world. Once a person came to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and he said, “O Messenger of Allah, help me with something. I am very poor. Rahmatul lil Almeen (PBUH) asked the person what things you have with you at this time, to which the person replied that there is a blanket that I cover when I sleep.” And there is a bowl in which I drink water or milk etc.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) asked the Companions sitting in the court whether anyone would buy these two things. A companion agreed to buy these two items and handed over a few dirhams “Penies” to the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet of God gave the panies to the man and ordered him to buy an axe and ito cut woods to sell .That person was optimistic. A few days later, when he again appeared in the presence of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), He was quite happy and said, O Messenger of Allah, my condition is now much better than before.
Now I am living a prosperous life, on which the Prophet of God Ahmad Mustafa (peace be upon him) said, “There will be no sign of begging on your forehead on the Day of Judgment”. The Prophed of God could have helped, but he saved the man from the curse of begging and made him a hard worker to live his life . This person got the fruits of his labor and became comfortable and prosperous. But in the present era, begging has become so common that no shame is felt in it. Go anywhere in the beloved country “Pakistan” , you will definitely see beggars.
despite the strict prohibition of Islam, the number of beggars is increasing day by day. These professional beggars tries to full their pockests with money by giving people the names of Almighty God and other pious beings in the name of charity. What kind of problems and situations are they suffering from? There is only one word on their tongues, “In the name of Allah, Give Baba.” While begging, they don’t see that the person being begged is suffering from poor problems and situations. There is only one word on their tongue of the beggars heard , “Give in the name of Allah”. A few kind hearted people in the society show mercy to them.
I have seen myself that the deserving, poor and disabled people do not extend their hands in front of anyone because of shame. A disabled person named Afzal (Late) in Ahmad pur Sial despite being unable to walk and disabled, he used to repair and polish shoes and support himself and his wife and children through his occupation. of cobbler . His son learned this profession from his father and adopted it. Professional beggars have camped in and around Ahmad Pur Sial. Sturdy and healthy women and gentlemen are seen not only begging on the streets themselves, but also put their young children to this work. Be it markets, intersections or wagon stands, beggar women and gentlemen and their children come to rob the pockets of the public. In Ahmedpur Sial, the women of the Muslim Shaykh community (commonly known as Musli) visit the bazaars and wash their hands to beg instead of working hard. This is the reason why beggar women and men and their children come to rob the pockets of people in markets, intersections or wagon stands. In Ahmad Pur Sial, the women of the Muslim Sheikh community (commonly known as Musalies) go to the markets and extend their hands to beg and fall behind the citizens to beg instead of doing hard work.
Thursday is the day for this work has been specified. For this purpose. The proffessional beggars deprive the deserving people of their rights. The deserving and disabled people are left looking for help. those whose hands and feet are safe, they are also engaged in the same work. For a long time, such a person used to beg from the passengers riding in wagons stopping at Ahmed Pur Sial More. Now he has changed his abode and has chosen the base of Rangpur for this purpose. I feel sorry for the passengers and people who encourage these professional beggars by putting ten rupee notes in their hands. Once I went to Nishtar Hospital Multan.
There were professional beggar women outside the operation theater. These beggar women harassed the patients and their relatives by entering the wards as well. All over the country women beggars have made it their profession to beg in the name of Allah. In Ahmad Pur Sial, in the local language, these voices are heard echoing in the market “Allah de naan te Khairat taan de cha”. Strong will power does not entertain any disability. Nazir Ahmed, a blind man with poor vision in Sharifabad area of ​​Ahmad Pur Sial, is a beacon for these professional beggars.
Instead of ewtending hands before the others, he supports his family by making ice cream himself and selling it. No sign of begging will be stained on his foehead on the day of judgment. Today, new ways of begging have invented. Help should be given, but to deserving people and not to those professional beggars who have become the scourge of society. Such beggars need to be discouraged. The concerned institutions should play their role in ridding the people of these professional beggars.
