Mission

1 Faith

Inspired by the foundational principle of Islam encapsulated in the Shahadah, the declaration of faith, our commitment to serving orphans is deeply rooted in the acknowledgment that "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger." This core tenet of the Islamic faith underscores our belief in the singular divinity of Allah (SWT) and the prophethood of Muhammad (SWS). By embracing this proclamation, we affirm our personal acceptance of these truths and pledge to uphold the principles and responsibilities outlined in Islam throughout our lives.

As we extend our care and support to orphaned children, we do so in alignment with the teachings of Islam, which emphasize compassion, justice, and kindness towards those in need. In embodying the spirit of the Shahadah, we recognize our duty to Allah and His messenger by extending love, guidance, and provision to the vulnerable members of our community. Our service to orphans is not merely a charitable endeavor but a manifestation of our faith-driven commitment to fulfill the obligations laid out by Islam, ensuring the well-being and nurturing the potential of those entrusted to our care.

In essence, our dedication to serving orphans is a testament to our belief in the unity of Allah and the prophetic mission of Muhammad. It is a demonstration of our heartfelt acceptance of these truths and a pledge to live by the principles of Islam, showing kindness, generosity, and empathy towards those who have lost their guardians. Through our actions, we strive to exemplify the values inherent in the Shahadah, fostering a community where compassion and solidarity with the less fortunate are fundamental pillars of our faith-inspired endeavors.

2 Connection

Inspired by the second Pillar of Islam, Salat—meaning Prayer—we are deeply committed to its essence and its profound impact on our lives. Salat is not merely a ritual; it is a sacred connection with the Divine, a practice dating back over 1400 years. This spiritual discipline, performed five times a day at set intervals, forms the heartbeat of our daily existence. It unites us with millions of fellow Muslims worldwide, transcending time and geography.

Yet, within the folds of this sacred practice lies a profound call to service, particularly to those most vulnerable among us. As we bow before Allah, we are reminded of our duty to serve humanity, to extend a hand of compassion to those in need. Among the most cherished of recipients are the orphans—precious souls deserving of love, care, and support.

In the rhythm of our prayers, we find not only spiritual nourishment but also a solemn commitment to uplift those who have been orphaned, to provide them with solace, security, and a sense of belonging. For in serving the orphan, we emulate the noblest teachings of our faith, embodying the compassion and mercy exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

As we stand in the presence of Allah in prayer, we are reminded of our direct connection to the Creator, without the need for intermediaries. And it is through this direct communion that we are inspired to be agents of positive change, to alleviate the suffering of the orphaned, and to build a world where every child is cherished and supported. This is the true essence of Salat—a prayer not just of words, but of action and service, echoing through the corridors of time, uniting us in our shared humanity.

3 Sincerity

Inspired by the third Pillar of Islam, Sawm, which entails fasting during the sacred month of Ramadan, our commitment extends beyond personal devotion to serving those in need, particularly orphaned children. Sawm, observed over the 29/30 days of Ramadan, entails abstaining from food and drink from sunrise to sunset for adult and healthy Muslims. While physical and mental health considerations exempt certain individuals, such as the young, elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding, menstruating, or travelers, from fasting, they are encouraged to make up missed fasts or provide for the less fortunate instead.

Beyond the physical act of fasting, Ramadan holds profound spiritual significance. It fosters self-discipline, spiritual fortitude, and a deeper connection with Allah (SWT). It serves as a time for reflection, gratitude for divine blessings, and solidarity with the less fortunate. By abstaining from worldly desires, Muslims cultivate empathy and compassion, particularly for those experiencing hardship, such as orphaned children.

This sacred month provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding of charity, generosity, and community solidarity. It underscores the importance of sharing in the struggles of the less privileged and extending a helping hand to alleviate their burdens. Through acts of charity and kindness, we not only fulfill our religious obligations but also embody the values of compassion and empathy taught by Islam.

As we observe Sawm, let us not forget the significance of serving orphaned children, embodying the spirit of compassion and generosity that defines Ramadan and Islam as a whole.

4 Gratitude

Inspired by the fourth Pillar of Islam, Zakat, our mission is deeply rooted in the obligation to serve the most vulnerable, including orphans, on a global scale. Zakat, the mandatory giving of a portion of one's wealth to those in need, is not merely an act of charity, but a form of worship and self-purification. This fundamental duty involves allocating 2.5% of one's excess wealth annually to uplift the impoverished. Beyond its immediate impact of aiding the less fortunate, Zakat embodies profound spiritual and societal benefits. It signifies obedience to Allah, humility in recognizing that all possessions are on loan from the Divine, and a detachment from material greed. By adhering to Zakat, individuals cultivate self-discipline, liberate themselves from the love of money, and foster a sense of communal responsibility. Our dedication to serving orphans worldwide extends from the core principles of Zakat, as we strive to ensure that no child is left without care or support. Join us in fulfilling this sacred duty, as we endeavor to uplift humanity through compassionate action and selfless giving.

5 Equality

Inspired by the fifth Pillar of Islam, Hajj, our mission is rooted in the profound significance of this sacred pilgrimage. Hajj, occurring in the month of Dhul Hijjah, symbolizes a spiritual journey undertaken by every sane adult Muslim who can afford it and is physically able. It transcends boundaries of ethnicity, color, social status, and culture as Muslims from diverse backgrounds converge in Mecca, standing before the Kaaba in unity, praising Allah together.

At the heart of Hajj lies a profound message of equality, emphasizing that all individuals are equal in the eyes of Allah. This ritual, designed to promote the bonds of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood, strips away markers of social status, wealth, and pride, as pilgrims don simple white garments called Ihram. Through this collective experience, Muslims are reminded of the true essence of life on earth and the significance of the afterlife.

Our commitment extends beyond mere observance of rituals; it encompasses a dedication to serving orphans worldwide. Just as Hajj fosters a sense of purpose and unity among pilgrims, our efforts aim to uplift and support those who are most vulnerable. Join us in our mission to honor the spirit of Hajj by extending compassion and care to orphaned children across the globe.
