I just ignored the advice and went ahead giving the money in hiding. To my surprise, a little later same beggar was walking alright.<br />During my Hajj tour, I saw so many fake scenes of “manufactured beggars” made as such by their cruel masters who were supervising the begging activity and remaining on watch against police bust/raid. This is Makkah (Mecca) I am referring to in particular. <br />In Canada, on JUMA prayers outside each masjid-- such gangs drop off the young good looking hijabi ladies who are well trained to begging technique- asking for money. The supervisors wait in their expensive SUVs / vans a block or so away-- just to pick up the same ladies after the prayer is over. This curse is everywhere Muslim or non Muslim country.<br />During the Muslim era, however, there was no such example. Just look at Hazrat Omer bin khatab ERA. <br />True! Begging is one of the oldest professions. But now, there are fraudsters posing as genuine beggars. Let's not go far, we have a chief beggar in our own backyard and you know who he is. <br />SADR-e- MUMLIKET hee tou hain sab sey berray bhakaari and madaari—sari qaum ka maal lootney waley. Khana khraab ker dia mulk ka. <br />Despite his tsunami of corruption, the crook is still enjoying immunity craftily under the NRO inducted government. Despite the repeal of the black law, the shrewd criminal has been managing to hold on to power for three and half years.<br />Hey! Loot is loot --it's through incorporated begging, going to friendly nations with a beggar’s bowl, looting nation's natural resources, or through percentage in commission and what not.<br />Very frustrating!MianTariqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118190544168423630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176455812650865516.post-44693164470133007312011-10-16T08:11:49.134-07:002011-10-16T08:11:49.134-07:00One thing to be clear about is that people who cur...One thing to be clear about is that people who curse with bad intentions like that will never come true.<br />This is not the era of the bad witch and her curse.<br />The second part is, never give alms to beggars. They really don't need it.
