The Rights of Marginalized Groups in the Teachings of Jesus Christ: An Analytical Study of Social Justice, Welfare, and Human Service

Abstract

The teachings of Jesus Christ (ʿĪsā, peace be upon him) present a comprehensive framework for social justice, compassion, and the protection of marginalized communities. His message emphasized the dignity of every human being and highlighted the moral responsibility of society toward the poor, widows, orphans, the needy, and other vulnerable groups. This study critically examines the rights of marginalized communities in the teachings of Jesus Christ by analyzing biblical texts, Christian theological literature, and relevant scholarly sources. It explores the socio-economic conditions of first-century Palestine, the ethical foundations of Christ's teachings, and the practical measures introduced to promote equality, charity, and social welfare. Furthermore, the study evaluates the role of Christian institutions, including the concept of Tithing (Tithe) and charitable practices, in supporting disadvantaged members of society. Through an analytical approach, the research demonstrates that the teachings of Jesus Christ advocate a balanced model of social responsibility, economic justice, and humanitarian service that remains relevant for addressing contemporary social inequalities. The study concludes that Christian ethical principles concerning compassion, generosity, and communal responsibility continue to provide valuable guidance for the welfare and empowerment of marginalized communities in the modern world.
