Reply Caring for the needy, whether they are in need of our physical, financial or emotional help is a part of the basic moral teachings of Islam, as well as all other major religions of the world. This is the least a person should do for his brother. Our visit to our sick brothers and sisters is a sign of our love, affection and concern for them. This love and concern provides the very basis of a sound and integrated society. Moreover, it gives us the realization of the blessings of our Lord on ourselves.
Man is forgetful.
He tends to forget His Lord's blessings on him. A rich man, may never realize how much he is blessed until the time he comes in a close contact with a poor man. In our everyday life, we start taking all the good things for granted. But when I see a person who has lost his sight or his hearing, I not only condole with him for his great loss, but am also reminded of the fact that Allah has complete control over me. That it was not my right to be bestowed with sight or hearing, but is a privilege that Allah has granted me.
