The World Charity Day has been celebrated globally since 2013 with the aim of raising awareness about donating money and time, engaging in charitable activities, and participating in other philanthropic endeavors.
Charity refers to financial aid provided out of benevolence or humanitarian sympathy. In Islam, Muslims are instructed to give donations, Zakat, and alms to help those facing economic difficulties, those in distress, the homeless, and the destitute.
Those who run charitable organizations say that despite numerous welfare activities, the problems remain unchanged; there should be a uniform system for both the rich and the poor in the Country.
The people serving in charitable organizations state that they are doing everything possible for the economically distressed and the needy.
