And he who refuses an invitation  (to a banquet) disobeys Allah and His Messenger." (Book- Sahih Bukhari) It may be the stuff  fairytales are made of — but Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding  comes with a hefty real-life price tag.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G4CCmgx5XIs/TbpVrdfkvQI/AAAAAAAACfk/5WEJ78YIR68/s1600/Royal+wedding+and+poverty.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G4CCmgx5XIs/TbpVrdfkvQI/AAAAAAAACfk/5WEJ78YIR68/s320/Royal+wedding+and+poverty.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>And amid the nation's joy, that has some Britons grumbling such lavishness is inappropriate for this age of austerity.For thousands of the newly  unemployed, the poor struggling from slashed public services, and  students facing sharp rises in university fees, there's little to  celebrate.The famous wedding Kate & William is estimated to cost around more than USD 40 Million Lets's look into more details of this wedding costWePay, (an online way to  collect money from groups), has analyzed the upcoming royal wedding and  says it will cost almost 3,000 times as much as an average U.S. wedding.  In fact, says WePay, it will be the second most expensive wedding ever.Some other royal vs. commoner wedding comparisons:Kate's wedding dress is estimated to cost $41,000. The lacy piece of apparel for a U.S. bride averages $2,450. Costs<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The  royal wedding's flower bill is estimated to be $360,000; Westminster  Abbey is big and Kate has a lot of attendants. The average U.S. marrying  couple pays "just" around $1,230.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">William and Kate are expected to spend around $655,000 on their  honeymoon, although where the young British couple will canoodle is  still secret. U.S. newlyweds spend on average $4,000 on their  post-ceremony getaway.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Even more royal wedding costs are illustrated in WePay's Royal Wedding vs. Normal Weddings info graphic.</li> </ul>I was able to make this list via browsing the internet "THE MOST EXPENSIVE WEDDINGS"12-  Donald Trump and Melania Knauss - $ 1 million 11- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - Cost: $2 million10- Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayar - Cost: $2.5 million09- Paul McCartney and Heather Mills - Cost: $3 million08- Liza Minelli and David Gest - Cost: $3.5 million07- Delphine Arnault and Alessandro Vallarino Gancia - Cost: $7 million06- Wayne Rooney and Colleen McLaughlin - Cost: Over $15 million05- Vikram Chatwal and Priya Sachdev - Cost: $20 million04- Aleksandra Kokotovic and Andrei Melnichenko - Cost: $30 million03- Prince William and Kate - Cost $ 40 million02- Vanisha Mittal and Amit Bhatia - Cost: $78 million 01- Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Princess Salama - Cost $ 100 million Despite  all the hoopla surrounding the vows of Kate and William, it's not the  most expensive wedding in history, says WePay. That honor goes to the  seven-day affair in 1981 when Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum of  Dubai married Princess Salama. Its estimated cost was $100 million in  today's dollars.These are the most expensive weddings and the total cost of all of the above weddings passes more than $ 300 MillionOk! Now lets move into reality of the world from dream world!925 million hungry people in 2010  statistics :FAO Hunger concepts and definitionsHunger is a term which has three meanings (Oxford English Dictionary 1971)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite. Also the exhausted condition caused by want of food</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the want or scarcity of food in a country</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a strong desire or craving</li> </ul>WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? the  above definition means "In round numbers there are 7 billion people in  the world. Thus, with an estimated 925 million hungry people in the  world, 13.1 percent, or almost 1 in 7 people are hungry." <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IVXcl2cswno/TbpVPHueCXI/AAAAAAAACfg/0BowillYWPg/s1600/world_hunger.jpeg" target="_blank"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IVXcl2cswno/TbpVPHueCXI/AAAAAAAACfg/0BowillYWPg/s1600/world_hunger.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> According to  UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die  quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the  scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life  makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death.”Source "Spend  your wealth for the cause of Allah. Do not, by your own doings, put  yourself in harm’s way. Do the right thing. Of course, Allah loves the  righteous." [Quran 2:195]WHAT ARE WE DOING?  Royal Wedding (Prince William & Kate) is spending $ 40 million for  just 1500 guest to enjoy the party for less than one day -  i.e. more  than $ 2600 per head while...Half or more of the population in the 50 least developed countries listed above are estimated to live at or below the absolute poverty line of U.S. $1 per day.THE UN CLASSIFIED 50 POOREST COUNTRIESAfghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh,  Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central  African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti,  Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,  Haiti, Kiribati, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives,  Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Samoa, São  Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia,  Sudan, East Timor, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Tanzania, Vanuatu, Yemen,  Zambia.To illustrate the income inequality  between rich and poor countries, consider these facts: the world's  richest individuals have a combined income greater than that of the  poorest 416 million; 982 million people out of the developing world's  4.8 billion people live on $1 per day, and another 2.5 billion (40% of  the world's population) live on less than $2 per day. In addition, the  poorest 40% of the world population accounted for 5% of global income in  2005, the richest 20% accounted for 75% of world income, and the  richest 10% for 54%. (Human Development Report)In the Video:  Just one story to represent over 1.4 billion poor rural people who live  on less than $1.25 a day. This is the story of Séraphine and her  daughter Maria who live in rural Madagascar. They struggle daily to keep  food on the table and believe that the only real future Maria can have  is far away from home. Their story is unique yet ever so common in rural  poor areas, according to the Rural Poverty Report 2011 prepared by the  International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). It raises a  critical question -- with the world's future food needs expected to  increase by 70% by the year 2050 and with more and more people leaving  rural areas to live in cities, who will be left to farm?Gap Between Rich and Poor: World Income Inequality in - 2002The  poorest 40 percent of the world’s population accounts for 5 percent of  global income. The richest 20 percent accounts for three-quarters of  world income.To understand how many inhabitants of a  country are poor, it is not enough to know a country's per capita  income. The number of poor people in a country and the average quality  of life depend on how equally or unequally income is distributed across  the population. In Brazil and Hungary, for example, per capita income  levels are quite comparable, but the incidence of poverty in Brazil is  much higher.  In Hungary the richest 20% of the population receives about four times  more income than the poorest 20%, whereas in Brazil the richest 20%  receives 30 times more than the poorest 20%.Are we concern of taking care of the poor and the oppressed?There is no doubt, Humans are not fulfilling the obligation of their  lord, we are enjoying  this life by wasting time & wealth for this  short life!"The  life of this world is nothing more than play and pastime. The abode of  the hereafter is certainly far better for the pious. Do you not  understand?"
