As per the Holy Quran:
“Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancor.” (Al-Quran, 5:2)
“And do good; that ye may prosper.” (Al-Quran, 22:77)
And with reference to our Holy Prophet (PBUH):
The Prophet (PBUH) said, “On every Muslim there is enjoining a compulsory sadqa alms.” They, the people, said, “If one has nothing?” He said, “He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give in charity.” They said, “If he cannot work or doesn’t work?” He said, “Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person by word or action or both.”
Thus, it is our religious obligation to volunteer to help the ones in need. UCP has taken an initiative in this regard to engage our youth in Volunteer Work / Community Service so as to give them a view of the flip side of the picture, to tell them about the hunger, deprivation, ailments and social problems that people living around us face each day.
Volunteering for our society is both our religious and social responsibility.
