Sponsor a Muslim Orphan
"And they feed, for the love of Allah, the poor, the orphan, and the
captive..."
[Soorah al-Insaan, 8]
When a little girl cries halfway around the world, are her tears any less real?
Would you like to be like a mujaahid or like those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying?
"One who cares for widows and the poor is like those who fight in the way of Allah or those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying." [Agreed upon, also in Adab al-Mufrad of Imaam Al-Bukhari in chapter "The Virtue of Those Who Care for Orphans"]
Would you like your heart to soften and Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala to answer your prayers?
A man once came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, and
complained that he feels hardness in his heart. The Messenger of Allah
said, what translated means, "Would you like that your heart becomes soft
and that you acquire what you need? Be merciful with the orphan, pat
his head and feed him from what you eat. This will soften your heart, and
enable you to get what you need." [At-Tabarani & As-Silsilah as-Sahihah]
Would you like Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala to remove one of your griefs on the Day of Judgment?
"Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment" [Saheeh Muslim]
Would you like forgiveness and bounty from Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala?
"The Shaytan promises you poverty and enjoins you on lewdness. But Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower." [Soorah al-Baqarah, 268]
Would you like angels to make du`aa for you?
"No day dawns upon [Allah's] servants without two angels descending [to Earth]. One of them says, 'O Allah, give recompense (khalaf) to those who give [charity]!'; the other says, 'O Allah give loss (talaf) to those who withhold [charity]!'" [Agreed upon]
Would you like to be in the enternal Jannah with our beloved Prophet and the best of creation, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam?
"I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between." [Saheeh al-Bukhaari]
