Srinagar, June 20 (KNS): The incarcerated chairman of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Shabir Ahmad Shah on Monday appealed people to remember the poor, needy, destitute, and the families of martyrs in this blessed month of Ramadan and help them in every possible way.
In a statement issued to KNS, Shah said people should collect the charity and zakaat in local Bait-ul-Maal committees and distribute it among the deserving. He made a special appeal to financially sound families to avail the reward from Almighty Allah by showing more generosity in this month.
Shah said the holy month of Ramadan also makes us introspect and realise the hunger of those who don't get a single meal a day and are unable to express their sad plight. "We must not forget these people but help them so that they too may join the Eid celebrations," he said.
