    The eradication of poverty has been a longstanding global objective, particularly since the inception of relentless capitalism. The General Assembly, recognizing its significance, emphasized the eradication of poverty as a pivotal theme in sustainable development during the 1997 Program for the further implementation of Agenda 21. Despite the proclamation of the Millennium Development Goals in the early 21st century, poverty has persisted on the world agenda, with an alarming trend of its exacerbation rather than elimination. The global scenario suggests a worsening situation, raising concerns about achieving the primary sustainable development goal of eradicating poverty, succinctly articulated as "End poverty in all its forms everywhere." This paper critically reviews the current status of poverty alleviation efforts, offering insights into how Islam perceives and systematically addresses poverty. The study draws from Islamic sources to provide a nuanced understanding and proposes potential avenues for effective eradication. The research methodology employed involves an in-depth examination of relevant Islamic texts, comparative analyses with contemporary socio-economic conditions, and concludes an exploration of strategic instances where Islamic principles successfully addressed poverty

    In this article, we present the first case of necrotizing fasciitis affecting the abdominal wall caused by Serratia marcescens and share results of a focused review of S. marcescens induced necrotizing fasciitis. Our patient underwent aorto-femoral bypass grafting for advanced peripheral vascular disease and presented 3 weeks postoperatively with pain, erythema and discharge from the incision site in the left lower abdominal wall and underwent multiple debridement of the affected area. Pathology of debrided tissue indicated extensive necrosis involving the adipose tissue, fascia and skeletal muscle. Wound cultures were positive for Serratia marcescens. She was successfully treated with antibiotics and multiple surgical debridements. Since necrotizing fasciitis is a medical and surgical emergency, it is critical to examine infectivity trends, clinical characteristics in its causative spectrum. Using PubMed we found 17 published cases of necrotizing fasciitis caused by Serratia marcescens, and then analyzed patterns among those cases. Serratia marcescens is prominent in the community and hospital settings, and information on infection presentations, risk factors, characteristics, treatment, course, and complications as provided through this study can help identify cases earlier and mitigate poor outcomes. Patients with positive blood cultures and those patients where surgical intervention was not provided or delayed had a higher mortality. Surgical intervention is a definite way to establish the diagnosis of necrotizing infection and differentiate it from other entities
