As Muslims who live in the West, we must work extra hard to push back against the colonization of our minds. We should not think we are immune to such forces, just because we are not in Iraq or Afghanistan. We, too, must purify our minds of the corrupt Capitalist concepts about homeless and poverty. Islam alone should define how we think about poverty and the poor. Moreover, we should work to spread the correct understanding of these things, as no one else will.
