"Scatter wheat on the mountaintops, so it cannot be said that a bird went hungry..."
"Modern technology and sciences have advanced, and wealth has spread across the earth, yet the world still teems with the deprived and the destitute! Meanwhile, when justice prevailed in certain eras of history and under its wise rulers, blessings overflowed and poverty vanished to the point where no one could be found to accept charity! Indeed, mercy reached its utmost bounds when the famous decree was issued: 'Scatter wheat on the mountaintops, so it cannot be said that a bird went hungry in a land ruled by justice.'"
"The humanitarian crisis throughout history has never been about a scarcity of resources, but rather about poor distribution and the absence of justice. Wealth and technology alone cannot feed a hungry person unless guarded by living consciences and just systems.
True justice is not content with merely securing the bare minimum of human needs; rather, it extends to creating a comprehensive environmental and moral security, in whose bounty and safety all living creatures—even the birds in God’s vast expanse—rejoice and take shelter."
