Obviously and I never said such a thing. I used an organisation's statistics that tries to tackle poverty:
Nearly 1/2 of the world's population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty, that's less than $1.25 a day. 2. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11...global-poverty
I didn't say they are poverty because they make less money. You changed the subject because of you were wrong about claiming all Muslims giving zakat, would almost eradicate poverty.
Yes obviously, but that doesn't mean they are no longer in poverty. With that logic, poor people in poverty in the west with only $2.15 will be out of poverty because they travelled to a third world country.
Back to the point. All Muslims giving Zakat would not eradicate poverty, you were wrong.
practically eradicated. And yes, they would.
If you had a whole country give their wealth to the poor, the real poor, and it was utilized correctly, your poverty would be almost gone.
It's kind of like world hunger. It's easy enough to solve a good portion of it with not that much money, but people don't care enough.
In the UK 34% of households have savings less than £250: https://www.newsroom.hsbc.co.uk/press...holds_would_no
And the UK is considered as one of the better off countries. 2.5% of £250 is £6.50, that is not going to be enough to help 1 person in poverty for a whole year. Remember Zakat is only given once a year. Also remember that the majority of Muslims live in third world countries not in the UK.
Every single Muslim giving Zakat will not abolish poverty. What will abolish poverty is the super rich giving Zakat. 50% of the worlds poorest people have less than 1% of the worlds wealth, 1% of the worlds richest people have more than 40% of the worlds wealth. A lot of Muslims are in the poor percentage, so them giving Zakat would not help much in abolishing poverty.
Science is learning about the creation, Islam is learning about the creator.
