These children need your help the most!

As a Muslim, it is our responsibility to protect others from any kind of harm and provide help to those who are in need such as orphans. Islam has laid great great importance on helping the needy. Allah (SWT) has stated in the Holy Quran that: 

“And they feed, for the love of Allah, the poor, the orphan, and the captive…” [ Surah al-Insaan: 8] 

The unprivileged, parent deprived kids, are termed ‘Yatim’ in the Holy Quran, known as Orphans. Islam, being the religion of peace and tranquility, endorses the significance of looking after these kids. Moreover, in the Quran, the topic on orphans has been mentioned for over twenty times and is also signified by the Hadith and Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) many times. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) once mentioned: 

“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]

Many organizations are working for Orphans today. One of them is Zakat Foundation of America. The loss of one or both parents as a result of war, illness, or natural disaster is a traumatic and harsh reality for millions of children worldwide.
