ORPHAN CARE - AN ISLAMIC OBLIGATION
 
"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 between them)." [Saheeh Al-Bukhari].

The great importance that Allah (swt) has placed on caring for orphans is highlighted by the above-mentioned hadith. It is the responsibility of every individual within the Muslim Ummah, particularly those of us who live in more affluent countries, to ensure that orphans in all parts of the world are taken care of.
