If we look around with a little attention, we may find orphans within our extended families, relatives, or neighbourhood. Take responsibility for the expenses of one or even two, four, or ten orphaned children, if Allah has granted you means to do so. Cover their monthly expenses, provide clothes and shoes, and help them with some shopping on Eid and other occasions.

اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه This will bring blessings in sustenance, earn us reward, and if Allah wills, we will be close to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in Paradise.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ is a well-wisher of the Umma and shows great compassion and kindness towards orphans and the needy. By Allah’s grace, Dawat-e-Islami is establishing orphanages under the name Madinah Homes, where orphans will be cared for, provided with quality education and training, and prepared for good employment opportunities.

You too can support this noble cause by joining hands with Dawat-e-Islami. According to the means and strength that Allah has granted you, consider taking responsibility for the monthly expenses of 2, 4, 10, 100, or even 200 orphans.

Through your contributions, these orphans will continue to be cared for, and اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه  you will receive ongoing reward for your support.

The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to his Companion Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, “O Anas! Respect your elders and show kindness to your young ones; by doing so,
