Act of kindness from a Qatari family

Act of kindness from a Qatari family

A Qatari family has put up a fridge outside their home in Hilal near Muntaza signal to provide cold water bottles for workers. A beautiful act of kindness indeed from these folks.

Only last month, a man from Saudi Arabia did a similar act of kindness by installing a refrigerator outside his house in the northern city of Hail and invited people to donate food to help the needy.

The open air donation would spare the needy the “shame” of asking for food, the man, who was not named, said.

The move came to national and international attention after a religious scholar, Shaikh Mohammad Al Araifi, paid tribute on his Twitter account to “the Saudi man from Hail who was engaged in an indirect act of charity.” (BBC)

What do you think?

doharoom and khalli: the workers probably meant Irani Qataris; there's loads of them and especially in Hilal..there's Indian/Pakistani/Irani and many other varieties of Qataris..they're not strictly indigenous and the passports were being issued right, left and center back in the day..

This is not just one single great act of Qataris. Almost every day I see some Qatari lady stopping her car to hand over a few riyals to the cleaners who go about picking up trash from the streets. These cleaners are very low-paid workers. Every nation of the world has good people.

In each Masjid free cold drinking water for public is available 24x7. It is not in headlines.

islamic studies: you seem to be of a religious bent (your username); and yet you have this most cynical and judgmental mentality; I'm a bad Muslim myself but am certain that one cannot pray/fast/worship God while still having a thought process like that..a guy did his thing to help the thirsty..let's leave his judgement to God and encourage it..if not, let's keep silent.

Is Islamic Studies trying to say that the owner would have been doing a better thing by NOT installing the fridge? That's a strange perspective.

Every masjid in Qatar has cold drinking water machines for public just beside the main gates and thousands of people are drinking and taking cold water in their bottels daily. I dont know what type of kindness they want to do by installing refregirator outside their home as their homes are not a meeting point of public like mousques. So labor and poor people will suffer to walk and reach their to put one drop of water in their thirsty tounge The mosques are everywhere in Qatar and locals and non locals are spending money to put cold drinking water machines there. My point is that puting refrigator outside the home is less useful here in Qatar and it is a way to become in headlines.
