SPONSORING ORPHANS
"And they feed, for love of Him, the poor , the orphan, and the prisoner"
According to the Islamic point of view, God has created for mankind the earth and
all that it contains .It is , therefore, the birth right of every human being to try
and secure his share out of the world. However, Islam does not wish that this economic
race takes place in an atmosphere of cold impartiality, moral neutrality and social
apathy. It deems it desirable that the participants in the economic race should be
considerate and sympathetic to their weak and weary brethren. To this end Islam has
commanded that Muslims should take care of the orphans. "I and he who sponsors an
orphan shall be like that in heaven (while pairing his forefinger and middle finger
together)"- words of the prophet. In addition, Islam strongly confirms that such deeds,
particularly sponsoring an orphan, are positively conducive to growth and prosperity.
In accordance with the above, the Islamic Relief Association for the Orphans &
poor offers you the opportunity to sponsor an orphan from Palestine. We firmly believe
that when they receive their allowances, you will feel their prayers to God to give
you a new lease of life and to rise in.
