Indeed Allah (swt) has established a portion of the food for the poor in the wealth of the rich. Therefore no poor person will stay hungry unless a rich person deprives him of his portion. How beautiful is it if a rich man is humble to a poor man when he requests a reward that is near the Almighty God. It is even more beautiful when the poor maintain their pride near the rich and rely on Allah. (Imam Ali (AS) attributed in mishkat al-anwar, h. #646)

I’m so tired and it took me a minute to focus on this picture… at first I thought it looked like old bodies hovering together closely for heat. It is very cold in the San Francisco bay area! I hope you make money (lots of it) from your picture taking skills, Altaf.
