I am sure by now, everyone has heard about the 15 years old teenager with Cerebral Palsy. He was found locked in his own home with the condition one could not fathom the logic of reason for one that is living with his own mom. The mother is a single parent. The father of the teenager has been missing and does not care for the kid.
Let us revise back the points in our Prophet's SAW last ever speech.
1. To avoid riba
2. To protect the women
3. To feed and cloth the people in need.
4. Do not tell lies
5. Do not take things from others.
What has been done is done. I too could not help to judge the mother, the neighbor, the friends, the family. May Allah forgive me for being judgemental. May Allah forgive us if this situation is a result in our negligence to take care of point no (2) and point no (3).
Lets take action of the points and spread the words around as the Prophet SAW strongly reminded us to do so. Lets avoid riba. Lets start to friend the next door neigbor. Lets be an ear to friend's and colleagues issues and help them to find solutions.
Lets take action with our own hands and feet as for when we are to be questioned by Allah later, I am sure we will never answer with "it is the mother's responsibility" or "the government is not doing enough!" or "I already commented in facebook!". The hands and feet are going to answer the question for us.
