IT IS veracious to say that in every street we find beggars. I understand that they beg to fill their bellies and feed their families but, according to our religion, you should not beg but work for yourself. Only in the most extreme of circumstance should you consider begging says Islam.
Sadly, it has become a profession.
We must stop these people from begging and instead help them get some sort of work or job. There is only one way to stop this — it is harsh but I believe the only way we can overcome this menace — stop giving these people money.

Pakistan's streets (& markets, parks, sea beaches,hospitals, mosques, big rail stations, kabristan etc public places) are flooded with all varieties of beggars and their number seems increasing at an alarming rate.

This is the price of uncontrolled population. Expect more of the same. Why are you complaining? You are not the one starving. Your religious duty is to feed the hungry. That is what sets Islam apart.

@Ali Sabir, sir, I am not talking about those beggers who are paralyzed, and they are begging, but I am targeting those beggers who acts like poor. Small, small children are begging.
