ABSTRACT

Mishnah, Taanith, 24 4 When God tries him, and stints for him his provision, man says: ‘My Lord

has scorned me.’ Nay, but you do not honour the orphan, nor urge to feed the destitute. You

devour the inheritance indiscriminately, and you love wealth exceedingly. Koran, 89, 16-21

5 Among the poor and aged, the officers of Dhamma are working for the welfare and happiness of those devoted to Dhamma and for the removal of their troubles. They are busy in promoting the welfare of prisoners should they have behaved irresponsibly, or releasing those that have children, are afflicted, or are aged.
