Begging is just like a profession here in Pakistan, i see some beggars since i was a child and still they're coming to begging..... I hate it begging for the sake of God but I'm the one too who helps them sometimes....
If you remember a hadith that once a person came to our prophet and asked for help in the name of God and our prophet adviced him to get some logs from the forest and sell them and get money for lunch.... Don't know then why still people prefer to be begging
