'Blessed is the wealth of the Muslim, from which he gives to the poor, the orphan and the wayfarer.' {Muslim}
Be like a merciful parent to orphans.
Orphan care is an important aspect of Islam. Orphans are mentioned 22 times in the Qur’an; mistreatment of orphans is a serious sin, but nurturing and sponsoring them is a tremendously valuable good deed.
The Prophet (saw) said, ‘The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this’, and he (saw) held his two fingers together to illustrate. {Bukhari}
