Sponsoring an orphan is one of the greatest deeds that Allah (swt) and his messanger Mohammad (pbuh) emphasised, and immense rewards have been guaranteed for those who sponsor needy orphans.
Allah in Quran said: “They ask you (Mohammad) regarding orphans, so answer them to treat them (orphans) well and do what is good for them” [Al-Baqara, 220]
The Prophet (PBUH) said to a man complaining from the hardness of his heart: Do you like to soften your heart and perceive what you need? Be merciful to the orphan, pat his head and feed him" [Al-Tabarani].
Also the prophet (pbuh) said: “Whoever sponsors an
orphan until he becomes independent, Paradise is
his/her reward” [Ahmed].
The orphan sponsorship involves providing an adequate income for the orphan, to secure his basic necessities of food, clothing, education and healthcare.
Today there are millions of disadvantaged orphans around the world, who don’t have the same opportunities as other children. Orphans are often deprived of food, clothing, sufficient health care and a good education. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of all is their lack of education.
Given the opportunity of going to school, these orphans
could develop practical skills, which would enable their
communities to break out the cycle of poverty.
What will $50 a month do?
