A Public Trust Serving the Community for last 40 years
AICMEU (All India Council of Muslim Economic Upliftment Ltd.) is a social service organization registered as
charitable company under Indian Companies Act 1956 (vide No. 28920 / 82) and as public trust under Bombay
Public Trust Act 1950 (vide No. E - 10118 (B) / 85). During last 40 years AICMU helped over 200 thousands
through various services by its various schemes / divisions.
While serving the poor and needy through
various schemes and services, we observed
that sometime the top most priority of poor
people is food to survive. If we cannot send
food to our brothers in Gaza, what is
obstructing us to feed poor in our society?
On the day of Judgment we may be asked
about dues of poor and needy in our income
because feeding the poor and needy is vastly
described in holy Quran and Sunnah. Let see
some references mentioned below.
Significance of Feeding Poor and Needy in Holy Quran and Sunnah
They fulfill their vows, and fear a day the evil of which is wide-spread, and they give food, out of
their love for Him (Allah), to the needy, and the orphan, and the captive, (saying to them,) “We feed
you only for the sake of Allah; we have no intention of (receiving) either a return from you or
thanks. In fact, we are fearful of a day, from the side of our Lord, that will be frowning, extremely
malignant.” (Al Quran 76: 8-10)
Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is
Allah that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return. (Al Quran 2:245)
The example of those who spend in the way of Allah is just like a grain that produced seven ears,
each ear having a hundred grains, and Allah multiplies (the reward) for whom He wills. Allah is All-
Embracing, All-Knowing. (Al Quran 2:261)
So give to the kinsman his right, and to the needy and the wayfarer. That is better for those who
seek Allah’s pleasure, and it is they who will be successful. (Al Quran 30: 38)
So fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey and spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul
and those saved from the covetousness of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
(Al Quran 64: 16)
You shall never attain righteousness unless you spend from what you love. Whatsoever you spend,
Allah is fully aware of it. (Al Quran 3:92)

A person asked Allah's Messenger
ﷺ
"
What (sort of) deeds in or (what qualities of) Islam are
good?" He replied, "To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you don't
know.“ Narrated by Abdullah bin 'Amr Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 28In-book reference : Book 2,
Hadith 21
The Prophet
ﷺ
said "The one who looks after and works for a widow and for a poor person, is like
a warrior fighting for Allah's Cause or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all the night.”
Narrated Safwan bin Salim Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 6006In-book reference : Book 78, Hadith 37
The Second Caliph of Islam Hazrat Umar (RA) introduced monthly stipend for the poor from public
treasury in terms of money as well as in material. This practice of distributing stipend (in form of
money as well as food) also reflects the significance of food relief to the poor.
They ask you as to what they should spend. Say: “Whatever good you spend should be for parents,
kinsmen, orphans, the poor and the wayfarer; and whatever good you do, Allah is all-aware of it.”
(Al Quran 2: 215)
The teachings of holy Quran guides and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad
ﷺ
guides us to channelize
our savings (surplus income over expenditure) towards welfare of parents, Kinsmen, orphans, the
poor and the wayfarer. But Shaitan (devil) guides towards misery and lust, so we need to plan and act
wisely. Everyone among us is supposed to first spend on our family, friends / neighbours and
relatives, followed by caring about the poor and needy in the community. So, let’s be among the
people who are highlighted in the holy Quran as owner of Jannat.
Considering Taamil Miskeen (Food Relief to poor) as important to ensure Blessings of Almighty Allah,
since COVID 19 lock down, we have been working to distribute basic grocery items to selected poor
families in targeted areas. During last 4 years we have distributed 2950 ration and 1557 Fitra kits.

During food relief programs, we observed that around 20% persons living below poverty line really
deserves free ration support every month. But since we get financial supports from donors mainly in
the form of Zakat during Ramdha ul Mubarak, we observe negligence about these very needy people
for rest of 11 months. So this year we appeal our donors to please consider sponsoring 700 Ramdhn
ul Mubarak Ration Kits @ Rs. 1500 each, 500 Fitra Kits @ Rs. 600 each for distribution before March
2024 and 100 BPL Ration Kits @ Rs. 1300 each in rest of 11 months. The composition of proposed
three different kind of kits for distribution is as below.
