The indigents have been mentioned along with the orphans. The indigent persons arc those who could not meet their own basic needs because of their physical handicaps and economic depravities. Islam wants these handicaps should be removed. People in economic distress should be helped so that they could not only be able to meet their basic needs, but also be able to regain economic stability. The Qur'an and the traditions of the Prophet have both repeatedly mentioned the moral and the legal rights of the indigents and the needy persons. At one place, the Qur'an says:
So give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the way-farer. That is best for those who seek the countenance of Allah, and it is they who will prosper. [Al Rum : 38]
The indigent persons are commonly said to be beggars. Begging is not an indication of helplessness or hard times, Some people beg without any helplessness. They are not the indigent but indigent-faced. On the contrary, there are people who are in dire need but their self-respect prevents them from extending their hands before others. The
Qur'an says that such persons of genuine needs should be considered, and particularly those who are in the service of religion and left far behind economically in life. The Qur'an says:
The ignorant man thinks, because of their modesty, that they are free from want, thou shalt know them by their (unfailing) mark: they beg not importunately from all and sundry. Al Baqarah : 273
An indigent person is not the one who goes begging and whom you give one or two handfuls of food, or one or two date fruits, but he is the one who inspite of being helpless to meet his minimum needs, appears to be such that no one could either make out his real condition to give him any offering or a charity, nor does he stand begging from people.
In this way, attention has been draw to these respectable but really needy gentlemen in society.
