Hyderabad: Only 4 pc out of 11000 beggars are Muslims

Hyderabad: Only 4 pc out of the total number of beggars in Hyderabad are Muslims while the remaining 82 pc belong to SC, ST and other backward classes. According to a survey conducted in 2008 and then 2015, the number of beggars in Hyderabad is 11000 with a total earning of Rs 15 crore.

According to the data issued by a rehabilitation centre these beggars earn Rs. 1000 daily. They normally spend a large part of their earning on food requirement and bad habits (smoking, drinking etc); while 50% goes towards the savings.

The organization revealed that 82 pc of the beggars who beg at Dargahs, masajid, temples, church and other places of Hyderabad are non-Muslims while only 4 pc of them are Muslims and they don’t belong to the city either.

Now that the government has put a begging ban on the city’s streets for two months, officials have been strictly enforcing the ban ahead of a visit by Ivanka Trump for an international conference. The beggars are being transported to shelters.

7 Remarkable Things About Khadija, Wife of the Prophet Muhammed SAS

By Yasmina Blackburn I often get into debates with people about women in Islam. How we dress. How we don’t dress. What we think or don’t think or should-be-thinking. I get into debates about feminism. What it is and what it isn’t. I think I’ve spawned permanent foes because I don’t care to apply the label, feminist, to describe myself. (I’m not one for labels, sorry. But if it’s even required of me, “Muslim woman” suits me just fine.) But if we could agree for a moment that there exists a pure definition of the word feminist to mean: awesomely fierce to the millionth degree, then I’d like to introduce you to Islam’s first feminist. Her name is Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. She was the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him.) And she is one of the people that I think about when I face or debate issues surrounding women today. Khadija’s existence precedes mine by more than 1,400 years; and, if I can at the very least, continuously strive to emulate her char...

Q uestions: My current workplace is 86 km from my home. I stay there 8 hours each days. Can I shorten my prayers A nswer: If your workplace is [approximately] 80km or more from your city boundary, you should shorten your prayers whilst there.

By Aisha Kacie Salaam! My name is Aisha and I am a Muslim revert. I reverted in 2015, but I had been researching Islam for about 2 years before reverting. Growing up I was put under the label Christian, though it was never practiced in my home. I met my best friend in college 6-7 years ago and she was Muslim. I later met a few other Muslims but still never thought much about Islam. Having moved to a big city from a small town, I actually did not know what Islam was! So I guess because of that, I came into it without any bias. I began having questions about fasting, and modest dress, etc and that began my 2 year journey into researching Islam. I researched (literally) everyday. Then one day I decided to listen to one of the 5 daily prayers out of curiosity. As soon as the Arabic played I felt as though a 60 pound weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was so overwhelmed as though I had just found what was written for me my entire life without even knowing it! ...
