Why Get Involved
Together we improve the lives of orphans who have lost one or both parents by providing their basic necessities such as - water, food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare. Helping the orphans makes you among the righteous people causes you to will be close to the Prophet Muhammad (saw), It Ennobles Your House, Blesses Your Wealth, protects you from the trials and temptations of wealth and miserliness, elicits Allah’s forgiveness, softens your heart, places you among the righteous in the sight of Allah, you will continue to stream good deeds into your divine scales after you die (Sadaqah Jariyah: perpetual charity), and leads you to enter Jannah through the gate of Joy as evident by the following:
“So fear Allah as much as you can. Thus, hear and obey His commandments and spend charitably on what is good for your own souls. For whoever is safeguarded from the avarice of his own soul, then it is these who are the truly successful. If you lend Allah a goodly loan by your charitable offerings, He will multiply for you its reward. Moreover, He will forgive you. For Allah is ever thankful, most forbearing”
“The best house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well-treated. The worst house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are ill-treated”
“And they give food, in spite of love for it, to the needy, the orphan, and the captive. [Saying], “We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We don’t want from you either reward or gratitude. Indeed, we fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful”
““The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this”, and he (saw) held his two fingers together to illustrate.”
“Blessed is the wealth of the Muslim, from which he gives to the poor, the orphan and the wayfarer”
“If you want to soften your heart, feed the poor and pat the head of the orphan in tenderness”
“Righteousness in the sight of Allah is not the mere turning of your faces toward the East or the West. Rather, true righteousness dwells in one who believes in Allah, and in the coming Judgment of the Last Day, and in the angels, and in every revealed Book, and in all the prophets; and dwells in one, who — despite his love for it — gives of his wealth in charity to close relatives and orphans, and to the indigent and the wayfarer, and to beggars, and for the emancipation of slaves; and dwells in one who establishes the Prayer and gives the Zakat-Charity; and dwells in all those who fulfill their covenant when they make a covenant, as well as in those who are patient during periods of affliction and harm and times of conflict. These are the ones who have been truehearted, and it is such as these who are the Allah-fearing.”
“When the human being dies, all one’s deeds cease, save three: a sadaqah jariyah, [religious] knowledge [one leaves behind] from which others benefit, and a righteous child who prays for one.”
“I and the one who sponsors an orphan shall be in Paradise like these two’ — and he raised his index finger and the one next to it, holding them together, barely separate.”
