When Karachi resident Parveen Saeed read the story of a local woman who killed her two children because she could not afford to feed them, she decided something had to be done.
She began providing heavily subsidised meals to the city’s poor, and then drew in family, friends and others to help set up food houses and distribution points.
Arif Shamim reports.

| لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَی تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا مِن شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ |
By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend (benevolently) out of what you love; and whatever thing you spend, Allah surely knows it.

| جب تک تم ان چیزوں میں سے جو تمھیں عزیز ہیں (راہِ خدا میں) صرف نہ کرو گے کبھی نیکی حاصل نہ کر سکو گے اور جو چیز تم صرف کرو گے خدا اس کو جانتا ہے
