सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The concept of 'meeting needs' is tied to 'Karam' (generosity). It is a social shame to ignore someone's needs if you have the power to help. The verb 'labbā' is sacred in Islam, used in the 'Talbiyah' during Hajj. This gives the word a sense of absolute commitment. In the booming economies of the Gulf, 'tلبية احتياجات المستهلك' (meeting consumer needs) is a buzzphrase in every marketing campaign. In the Levant, people often use 'labbā' when someone responds to a social invitation or a call for help in the neighborhood.
