Muslims have always been at the forefront of caring for fellow humans. They take Prophet Muhammad’s wisdom seriously.
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “He does not have faith in me who spends the night satiated while he knows that the neighbor to his side is hungry.”
There is another hadith (Sayings ascribed to the Prophet) where his associates asked him. Prophet there is a person who prays all the times, and there is another one who does not pray, but before he goes to sleep, he knocks on his neighbor’s door and shares whatever little food he has – who will God be pleased with the most? Taking care of a neighbor was his response. Such is the importance placed on caring for the neighbor.
