We all know the virtue of looking after an orphan or widow, through various ayaat and ahadeeth. It is an act recommended by the Prophet alayhi sallatu wa sallaam and Allaah azzawajaal warns us of not feeding the orphan/poor and treating them harshly.
☆ A man once came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam, 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-Tabaraanee & As-Silsilah as-Saheehah]
☆"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]
☆The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “This money is fresh and sweet. Blessed is the wealth of the Muslim, from which he gives to the poor, the orphan and the wayfarer” or as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said it. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1465; Muslim, 1052).
We have decided to start a project in which we will sponsor widows and orphans in the poor villages of Morocco every month.We will give them with a monthly income to provide them with food, clothes and medical needs in shaa Allaah. Having traveled there and seen the conditions that some of the families live in, absolutely shocks and saddens me. A lot of families are struggling to provide day to day basics for their children and widows tend to go hungry for days if they cant provide anything for themselves and children to eat. Too often we see families too poor to pay for medicine or proper medical treatment and have to suffer with no one to offer any assistance.
You often find that children have no suitable clothing for the winter and their parent/s are unable to provide them with any clothing due to their financial state. By Allaah seeing what the majority of these families who live in the villages go through, it would reduce you to tears subhanAllaah.
We ask for just £2 a week to be able to support these families on a monthly basis and enable them to stand on their feet and provide for their families. The continuous donations will enable us to provide them with a monthly income all year round in shaa Allaah.
☆Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Sponsoring an orphan means taking care of his religious and worldly interests, teaching him and guiding him etc with regard to religious matters, and taking care of his food, drink, shelter and other worldly concerns. [Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen, 5/113]
