Our responsibility towards the poor

Md. Hafizur Rahman, Renata Limited, Segun Bagicha, Dhaka
A heart-rending photograph was published in The Daily Star on August 4, 2011 captioned "Her mother can only afford…" thanks to Rashed Shumon and The Daily Star for publishing it. The sad picture depicts the pathetic condition of a section of our society. Is it not enough to stir our conscience to come forward to relieving the distress of the suffering people? There are thousands of Shahanaz Begum in our society gasping for help. Allah has created man as the best of all creation. So, men must look upon others with sympathy and kindness. Otherwise Allah will not forgive us.
