The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘The best house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well-treated. The worst house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are ill-treated’. [Bukhari] Ultimately, the best home is one which shows care and concern for orphans.

One such house is the orphanage under Daarul Adzkar in Kota Bandung, Indonesia. They have a rented space that houses 15 girls and 15 for boys (separate quarters) along with providing them facilities to learn and develop themselves. Preparations are under way to get a waqf orphanage to house these children as well as other new cases. Till then the orphanage needs to rent out this space for the orphans. 

This campaign will help raise funds to fulfil the rent needed to keep the orphans in a safe and warm location without fear and worry of being kicked out or becoming homeless. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I and the one who looks after an orphan will be like this in Paradise,” showing his middle and index fingers and separating them.” [Bukhari]

Such is the importance and virtue of looking after orphans. If that wasn’t enough, the Prophet ﷺ  further told us, “Blessed is the wealth of the Muslim, from which he gives to the poor, the orphan and the wayfarer.” [Muslim]

What an amazing opportunity this is. Let’s come together and grab this opportunity to help our young children from becoming homeless and give them the security of a house.
