Abstract:
We usually see the poor through lenses of physical poverty. Unfortunately, we have few measures to gauge the “lost” or spiritually poor. Spiritual indices developed by World Vision are described and then examined using four statistical tests. Results show that the indices are generally reliable. The measures, however, should be used in tandem as spiritual poverty is a very difficult subject to evaluate objectively.

Abstract:
Christian development agencies often purport to work with the physically and spiritually poor. Do they? To answer this question, several measures of poverty are combined into two indices to better define “the poor.” World maps and a scatter plot are used to show physical and spiritual poverty. The question is then answered for one Christian development agency. World Vision International. The paper concludes with implications for mission. What does presenting the gospel mean in a world in which the physically poor are often the most spiritually impoverished? Now add restrictions to speech, especially in Muslim countries, where the verbal gospel is unwelcomed. In such situations, holistic practitioners would seem to be the messengers of the hour.

Abstract:
One of the major challenges faced by most of the Islamic countries is poverty. This paper attempts to construct the concept of poverty and welfare standards based on Islamic perspective.The study tries to cover both material and spiritual dimensions. These standards are based on CIBEST Quadrant, which is divided into four quadrants: welfare quadrant (I), material poverty quadrant (II), spiritual poverty quadrant (III) and absolute poverty quadrant (IV). Determination of these quadrants is resulted from criteria and indicators of basic material needs and basic spiritual needs. By using household as unit of analysis, this study is able to developCIBEST Model comprising welfare index, material poverty index, spiritual poverty index, and absolute poverty index. Mathematical formula and illustration of the indices are also elaborated to strengthen the concept.DOI:10.15408/aiq.v7i1.1361

Abstract:
Historically, 'the poor' are those who are in need materially and so the way to care for them is to give financial or material assistance. While there has been some progress in the recent century, poverty alleviation still remains a major issue in our world. From a Biblical perspective poverty is one of the consequences of sin, but it is understood in a broader way than merely physical poverty. God works to reverse the results of sin and restore all things, which includes all forms of poverty. In the Old Testament the poor are most often discussed in economic terms, however there are also references to those in spiritual need. The primary principle was that the Israelites were to care for the poor among them, which reflected God's care for them. However, they often fail and are rebuked for exploiting the poor. In the New Testament poverty is discussed even more clearly in an holistic way: there are the materially poor, the socially poor, but all people are spiritually poor. Hence the way to care for the poor must address these different types of poverty. Of paramount importance is to help people out of spiritual poverty, for that has eternal consequences. However, it is also clear that Christians who properly understand God's grace to them, will respond by caring for others holistically. Such care was seen in the early NT church from congregations who were transformed to serve, as taught and modelled by Jesus. The ongoing challenge for Christian churches today is to continue to care for all varieties of the poor, enabling and empowering them to help themselves as Jesus' instructed.

Abstract:
This research attempts to analyze the role of productive-based zakat program in reducing poverty level of mustahik (zakat recipient) households from the perspective of material and spiritual dimensions. The study utilizes primary data which is obtained from interview through questionnaire in DKI Jakarta and Bogor Regency. 221 respondents are selected and interviewed as research samples. They are zakat beneficiaries managed by BAZIS DKI Jakarta and Dompet Dhuafa. The primary data collection was conducted on February until May 2015. CIBEST model comprising four indices is used as tool of analysis. These indices are welfare index, material poverty index, spiritual poverty index and absolute poverty index. It is found that the presence of zakat utilization program is able to increase welfare index of the mustahik by 96.8 percent. The material poverty index and absolute poverty index can also be reduced by 30.15 percent and 91.30 percent, respectively. Unpredictable result occurs on spiritual poverty index in which there is an increase of two households living under spiritual poverty. It means that these two zakat recipient households suffer weakening spiritual values despite materially better-off in the presence of zakat program.Keywords: CIBEST model, Poverty, Productive-based zakat programJEL Classification: O150, R290, Z120, Z190

Abstract:
The current era, despite the many advances in communication, technology, scientific and economic development that has taken place in it, not only has not brought security and mental and spiritual peace for human beings; rather, it has added to the mental pressures, worries, anxieties, and inseparable material and worldly attachments. Some people in this period have neglected their origin and have become confused. If a person neglects the spiritual dimension of his existence and forgets the truth of his existence and his originality, he will suffer from spiritual poverty. Spiritual poverty with its harmful damages has many adverse effects on the spiritual life of man and causes anxiety, worry and stress for him and endangers his mental and psychological security. According to the teachings of religion and Islam, the source of all these psychological anomalies and disturbed memories is cutting off from God Almighty and unbelief. Some people spend all their purpose and motivation on physical affairs and they are unaware of their spiritual knowledge and spiritual dimension. This means that if a person does not communicate with his Creator, he will experience turmoil in his life, inner worries and mental illnesses. The present article, using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on Qur’anic and narrative documents, while explaining the concept of spiritual poverty, has analyzed its most important harms. The research findings indicate that the most important harms of spiritual poverty include: feelings of emptiness and depression, aimlessness and meaninglessness, anxiety, despair and hopelessness and torment in the hereafter.

Abstract:
The way a person understands poverty and its causes tends to shape the way a person is how to expose it. Most governments and most institutions define poverty as a whole based on material terminology. If the perception of material used for the problem of poverty is a complete understanding, it is not surprising that the local church is not included. The Bible gives a different understanding of poverty, according to him the most fundamental cause of poverty is spiritual. Sin is that which corrupts and distorts relationships which in many ways creates various forms of human poverty in material, social and spiritual forms. Within this framework of understanding the church can be involved. There are seven things that can be done by the church to be involved in transformational development (leading transformational): serving the community; call people to faith; bring out students who are holistic; contributions to civil society; being a pastoral companion; be the voice of prophethood; provide alternative explanations

Abstract:
As an economist Mahatma Gandhi was different from the main stream tradition due to his emphasis on ethical aspect to promote economic development as well as a rejection of materialism. Inspired by American writer Henry David Thoreau throughout his life Gandhi was in search to find the ways by which poverty, backwardness and other socio, economic problems could be solved. Here is an attempt made in this paper to present the economic thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi and analyze the relevance of these concepts in the present era. In this process this study analyzes the spiritual economic thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi for a post modern construction of India and examines his views on Swadeshi, decentralization of economics and self sufficient village economy as a means to attain and achieve the economic self sufficiency of the nation. Through his thoughts, actions, movement and life style he advocated that economic activities can never be justified without ethics and non-violence. The economic aim of Gandhi was Sarvodaya, self sufficient village economy, preservation of ecology and full employment which were quite different than conventional economic.

Abstract:
Poverty reduction is a subjective social and economic phenomenon. They exist alongside the development of human societies as a big challenge to all economies. For Ho Chi Minh, poverty reduction is solving problems directly related to people, thereby improving people’s material and spiritual life. Therefore, right from the founding of the country, he paid great attention to the development of policies on hunger eradication and poverty reduction to manage the country and serve the revolutionary cause. Ho Chi Minh’s ideology on hunger eradication and poverty reduction is a system of viewpoints on the purposes, objects, contents, requirements, and forces for poverty reduction. His Ideology on hunger eradication and poverty alleviation is a valuable spiritual asset, paving the way for the revolutionary cause of the Vietnamese nation to achieve great victories. In the cause of renovation in Vietnam, carrying out the task of building and defending the Fatherland, the Party and State have applied and developed Ho Chi Minh’s thought on hunger eradication and poverty reduction to suit the new situation, contributing to victory in the revolutionary cause.

Eliminating poverty, improving people's livelihood, and gradually achieving common prosperity are the essential requirements of socialism. After more than 40 years of reform and opening up policy, China has embarked on a path of poverty alleviation with Chinese characteristics. In precise poverty alleviation, cadres in villages have become an important force to tackle the problem, and contact channels. Through studying the actual situation of the implementation of the basic strategy of the Party Central Committee’s precise poverty alleviation in the concentrated and contiguous areas of Yanshan-Taihang Mountain, it is truly reflected in the successful examples of grassroots forces winning the battle against poverty under the strong leadership of party committees and governments at all levels. Finally, the research demonstrates the new era style of the vast number of poverty alleviation cadres stationed in the village taking up the role, dedicating to the grassroots, and making sacrifices on the battlefield of poverty alleviation.

The evils of war, economic globalisation, religious fundamentalism, the culture of materialism and the spectre of increasing poverty pose some of the greatest challenges today to the survival of humanity. Holistic/spiritual education is proposed as a timely strategy to help people, especially the young, to know and transcend themselves, and to create a culture of harmony and loving relationships. Some of the questions raised, against this backdrop, are the following: What is spirituality? What is spiritual intelligence? How do we know whether a person has spiritual intelligence? What are the various approaches to spiritual education? Do we need to change our attitude towards people of other religions? What plan of action can we adopt to promote spiritual education? Is common prayer essential? Are there any specific characteristics for the spirituality of young people?

Abstract:
Nigeria and Malaysia have almost similar historical background; both had sultan as spiritual and government leader in their major areas, colonized by British and got independence in 1960 and 1957 respectively. Presently, Malaysia has recorded human development increments from 1980 to date and aspire to be a developed country in 2020. While Nigeria has recorded poverty increments from 1980 to date and it may likely be among underdeveloped countries in 2020. The purpose of this study was to make judgments about Technical and Vocational Education and training (TVET) systems of Malaysia and Nigeria. The idea was to see what makes Malaysian system successful and how Nigeria addressed its TVET problems. The methodology employed in this paper was analytical method of study that involved evaluation based on critical reading and review of materials which include Nigeria and Malaysia education philosophies, policies, TVET curriculums, employability skills, Malaysian Human Development Index and Nigeria’s Poverty Incidence. Findings revealed that education philosophy and education policy of Malaysia is intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced based on firm belief and devotion to God while Nigerian education philosophy and policy are limited to intellectual and physical development. Malaysia TVET curriculum is equipped with employability skills including core skills, generic skills and personal attributes which are likely contributed to Malaysian human development and full employment of TVET graduates. Malaysia has recorded increments in human and economic developments from 1980 to date while Nigeria TVET curriculum has not been integrated with employability skills which are likely contributed to Nigeria’s poverty incidence and high Nigerian unemployment rate across all educational levels including TVET graduates at both secondary and tertiary levels. Nigeria has recorded steady increase of poverty incidence from 1980 to date.

Abstract:
National lockdowns and social distancing measures enforced in response to COVID-19 have forced many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) serving in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to suspend their operations. While low-income families continue to suffer from hunger and poverty, community quarantine restrictions additionally isolated them from town centers where healthcare, education, food, supplies, and livelihood opportunities are usually accessed. International Care Ministries (ICM) is a Philippine-based NGO that runs a poverty-alleviation program targeted towards extreme low-income households. As we re-evaluated how we may continue to effectively minister and serve our communities despite lockdown measures, we identified two priorities: (1) to serve people’s physical needs by providing food and access to healthcare, and (2) to serve people’s spiritual needs through spiritual feeding and community. In this field report, we describe how ICM was able to identify and use social network platforms as an alternative to continue both service delivery and spiritual feeding remotely. We hope this example may encourage other development NGOs to persevere as we all continue to seek ways to adapt to these extraordinary and seemingly ever-changing circumstances.

Abstract:
“Poverty” is a term Levinas uses to describe the face-to-face encounter and the Other all through his corpus. Scholars regularly use this term, but no research has shown its origin nor that Levinas has a concept of poverty. This paper addresses both of those questions through an analysis of an early reflection on Judaism and the relevant sections of his Totality and Infinity. In the process, I argue for an alternative interpretation of Levinas’s ethical phenomenology on the basis of poverty concluding with some suggestions on how a Levinasian spiritual poverty can aid the pursuit of justice.

Abstract:
This article examines how Mother Teresa’s practice of evangelical poverty developed and diverged from some of the great mendicant traditions. It argues that she linked evangelical and interior poverty by establishing existential communion with the poor—not material renunciation—as the deepest expression of Christ-imitation. While mendicant Neoplatonists believed a certain kind of interior poverty was necessary for spiritual growth, Mother Teresa’s aim was to console the suffering Jesus through self-denial and solidarity. The article traces how this understanding developed for her, and some of the ways it may have contributed to her feelings of darkness.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Household food insecurity has been associated with deleterious consequences on the physical health of vulnerable populations. However, few studies have examined its effect on the individual facets of well-being in slums and informal settlements. Therefore, this study examined (1) the effect of food insecurity on the intellectual, spiritual, and psychological well-being and (2) the effect of food insecurity on life satisfaction among the urban poor. Methods Data for this study were collected from three slums in Ghana (N = 1,033). The key independent variable, food insecurity was assessed using household food insecurity access scale (HFIAS); we then assessed intellectual (using a scale of 7 items), spiritual (Spiritual Well-Being Index), and psychological (WHO-5 Well-Being Index) well-being and life satisfaction (satisfaction with life scale) for the outcome variables. Many covariates were assessed, including, housing insecurity (Multilevel Multidimensional Housing Insecurity Scale), neighborhood health (neighborhood safe scale), poverty (less than $5.50 a day), stress (perceived stress scale), and socio-demography. Following descriptive and bivariate analyses, we built multivariable models for each of the outcome measures by including all covariates significant at p &lt; 0.05. We assessed the effect of food insecurity on all four outcome measures using Poisson regression. Results In the bivariate models, food insecurity decreased the rate ratios for intellectual (IRR = .99, P &lt; .001), spiritual (IRR = .99, p &lt; .001), and psychological (IRR = .96, p &lt; .001) well-being, as well as life satisfaction (IRR = 0.98, p &lt; .001). In the multivariable models, food insecurity decreased the rate ratios of intellectual, spiritual, and psychological well-being by .99, .99, and .98 factors, respectively. Poverty and stress were associated with decreased rate ratios on all four outcome measures. However, neighborhood health and psychological well-being increased the rate ratios of life satisfaction. Conclusions These data show that food insecurity is a significant predictor of poor intellectual, spiritual, and psychological well-being among slum dwellers.

Abstract:
In significant contrast with Indonesian writing there is in Malay literature a body of work concerned with rural life. That this is the case suggests the degree to which Malay writers even today have their roots in the agricultural cycle of peasant experience. Those who now work in clerical jobs, in publishing, in journalism, in teaching, those in fact who make up the writers of the novels, however divorced and remote their present life-styles and occupations are from their origins, still look back to the village as the world of their formative experience. It is a world with which they are intimate and familiar, a source of spiritual reassurance, of values which they may not endorse, but which they understand fully, in opposition to the alien environment of the modern city where the totality of life is fragmented into exclusive and contradictory domains of experience. And it is precisely because the writers are not so removed from rural life in space and time, that when they do cast a glance backwards they are never tempted to review that life through the distorting lens of nostalgia. On the contrary, there is the realistic acknowledgement that their own moving away from the village has also been an escape. There is, therefore, ambivalence: the village is perceived as the repository of Malay culture, the locus of traditional values, yet at the same time it is a locus of ignorance, frustration and poverty, somewhere to return for spiritual regeneration, but never again for permanent residence.

Abstract:
Drawing on an ethnographic study of Roman Catholic sisters in the Democratic Republic of Congo, I show how women in the Global South draw on religious imagery to redefine cultural ideals of womanhood and family responsibility. By taking the religious vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, the Congolese sisters I interviewed seemingly betray local expectations regarding women’s responsibility to reproduce and repair the clan. Although sisters’ vows subject them to social ridicule for violating cultural expectations to bear children and support kin, they devise new strategies to negotiate the connection between womanhood and the maternal role of caregiver and nurturer outside of marriage and fertility. In social ministries that affirm their communal, moral, and spiritual ties to others, the sisters realize these cultural ideals through a “spiritual motherhood” that transforms their traditional heteronormative obligations. Framing their decision to live outside accepted kinship structures in religious terms mutes the radicalness of this lifestyle and provides religious legitimation for what would otherwise be considered a selfish choice for a woman acting independent of family well-being. In this context, I demonstrate how doing religion is inseparable from doing gender as Catholic sisters embody alternative ways of being a woman in post-colonial Congolese society through their religious practices.

The folklore of each nation is an indicator of the history of the formation of its thinking and artistic thinking. If we look at the history of our oral literature, we see that our oldest examples date back to the archaic period of hundreds of thousands of years ago. Our folklore, which originated from mythological thought, has improved over time, formed as a product of new thought in different historical periods, passed down from generation to generation and has survived to the present day. The folklore of the Azerbaijani people is rich in genre and colorful in terms of its theme and content. Our oral literature, which is the heart of our people, has not lost its freshness, but is also valuable as a source of our national and spiritual values. Labor songs, counting words, holavars, bayats from lyrical genres; proverbs and parables, legends, myths, epics, etc. from the genres of the epic type. In the womb of genres, the spiritual values that our people have acquired throughout human history are embodied. Proverbs and parables in the most concise genres of oral folk literature are very valuable materials from the point of view of education. There are hundreds of proverbs for all aspects that form the basis of education (patriotism, love of work, collectivism, struggle, loyalty, respect for elders, passion for science, knowledge, etc.). Many proverbs and parables were created by hard working people. Therefore, they talk more about the hard work and poverty of the people in the past, and express deep hatred and protest against the ruling classes and the exploiters.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the role of the icon motif in “Standing”, a short novel ('povest') by Archpriest Nikolai Agafonov. The authors analyze the features of the work that allow to categorize it as Orthodox fiction: the spiritual evolution of the characters, the search for the Creator, the appeal to the Church, the moral crisis and overcoming this crisis. In addition, portrayal of the miracle is analyzed along with a wide range of reactions of the characters who witnessed the incident. The Kuibyshev miracle is considered in the historical, cultural and literary contexts: the characteristics of the era are investigated, a connection is established between “Standing” by Nikolai Agafonov and other works of art dedicated to this event. There is also an undeniable ideological and artistic similarity between the description of Zoya’s standing in this work, and Byzantine and Old Russian legends about the punishment of an iconoclast or blasphemer by a miraculous icon. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that the icon motive in the work is closely related to the motives of physical and spiritual healing, the salvation of the human soul, and its connection with the Creator. A motivational prayer / standing complex emerges in the short novel, and standing itself is viewed as a sincere, albeit wordless prayer addressed to God and capable of initiating a person's inner transformation. In this sense, the incident that happened to the girl is perceived not so much as a punishment for the sin of blasphemy, but primarily as a call of the Savior to repentance, addressed both to Zoya and to numerous witnesses of the incident. The figurative system of the short novel includes characters who are ready to accept this call and embark on the path of spiritual evolution, as well as persons incapable of revising their own materialistic worldview.

Odoevsky throughout his life. In the “The Unspent House”, which combines the traditions of a romantic short novel (povest’) with elements of fiction, ancient Russian legend, hagiographical texts, apocrypha, spiritual verse, “religious feeling” is manifested not only in the syncretic poetics of the work, where the gospel text sounds most clearly, but also at the level of understanding Christianity as a nationwide “religious feeling” with the most diverse connotations, but with the general meaning of forgiveness, mercy and love. The spiritual poems, whose publication V. F. Odoevsky later actively participated in, were the likely sources of the short novel (povest’). Works of medieval literature (“The Walk of the Virgin in Torment”, “The Tale of Savva Grudtsyn”) may have been the sources of the “legend”; parallels are also found with hagiographic literature. The “religious feeling” of V. F. Odoevsky, as stated in the article, intended to unite different layers of the Russian Christian culture. It asserted “joyful Christianity,” which was characteristic of book culture and oral folk art, and based on the belief in the power of mercy, compassion for sinners and the ultimate salvation of the soul.
