how to fight poverty? According to religions?

Question

It must be realistic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

teach a man to fish is what my Bible suggests. ofcourse that's the metaphoric answer. How would you apply that in today's world? Teach a man to set up an online business. Get him the medical help he needs to get a job. Get him an education if that's the problem... Most people in poverty are not afraid to tell you exactly what they need in my experience. What I see is that people are too proud to offer what they have to a person of lessor value. Many times someone will offer a half-solution so that the person will fail allowing the giver to be excused from helping again. What I mean is, they may offer to pay for their schooling and tell them they can walk 20 miles to school because, after all, if they wanted it bad enuff...

Answer 2

Poverity is defined to be not able to at least meet the necessities of basic life needs.
To fight poverity, Islam requested each Muslim to pay very small % of the excess money whether liquid or fixed.
Thus each Muslim should work not only to meet the basics, but to exceed it. So each person should be self-encouraged to make more money.
So Islam works on
1- To upgrade the capabilities of a human being to be able to make a living.
2- If this is not feasible for some persons, they get their share from the rich donated % mentioned earlier.
The world's today adapts the above and as the second option does not help every poor, the focus is on the first and Mohammed Youness (Y2006 Noble Peace Prize winner) has helped in a solution

Answer 3

Erasing poverty is like catching a fish, every time its talked about the problem grows.
What does poverty mean??
If you compare the life styles of the people who lived in the 1500s to the way we live today, about 60% of the world today would have been considered rich back then.
Because of the sliding scale of the definition of poverty, it is impossible to ever erase or get rid of it, unless we are all exactly the same. No color, no freedom, no expression, nothing to make us different.

Answer 4

Realistic? As long as human nature and sin exists we will always have poverty in this world.

Answer 5

What do yo mean according to religion? As fas as I'm concern, if you truly believe in God poverty shouldn't be a problem to you. Are you familiar with the bible phrase "Men does not live on bread alone."?

Answer 6

No man can fight poverty.

No human government can do that, see this: “man has dominated man to his injury.”—Ecclesiastes 8:9.

However, the bible promises that in God's rule: "There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow."-Psalm 72:16

Answer 7

according to puritans, poverty is a curse of god for sinners. so the way to fight it is to punish it like any sin. workhouses were their preferred solution. may still work these days if tried.

Answer 10

In Islam, there is a tax called zakat, having its root word in purify, because by giving the tax you are purifying your soul. So everyone gives 2.5% in money of their valuables, people who are too poor to pay it(i.e. nisaab) are exempt from paying.
