    one of the great reforms that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) brought was the rights
    and treatment of the poor. Prior to the advent of Islam, the pagan Arabs used to
    disregard the poor, they would look down on them, and could care less about them;
    the poor people were basically an insignificant portion of society that did not
    matter.  However so, with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that all changed, the
    Muslims were now obliged to look after the poor, and were required to spend of their
    wealth to help the poor out. For instance the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught the
    following:

    Bukhari Volume 7, Book 64, Number 264: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle
    said, "Allah said, 'O son of Adam! Spend, and I shall spend on you."
