Muslim Woman: Discuss Anfaq "pinnacle of giving"
Anfaq in effect constitutes the pinnacle of giving. It
consolidates the containment of societal negatives such as
poverty, hunger, injustice, malice, abuse, disrespect,
waste, greed and the deprivation of the human rights.
Ultimately, it is the perfect socio-political environment
in which hoarding becomes unnecessary and where all
resources are equitably available for everyone’s benefit.
The word itself derives from the old Arabic expression for
an open-ended tunnel, suggesting that as much as possible
should flow through and become accessible to those in
need. No, we are not aspiring to egalitarianism, for the
Holy Quran does recognize that a healthy community must
comprise a mutually beneficial mix of people with
different abilities, roles, responsibilities,
personalities and needs. However, they all have the basic
necessities of food, shelter, health, education and
personal freedoms, the satisfaction of which must be the
central responsibility of any balanced system of existence.
