Treating Orphans Kindly


Major Commandments

[4:36] You shall worship GOD aloneā€•do not associate anything with Him. You shall regard the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, ...

Recipients of Charity

[2:215] They ask you about giving: say, "The charity you give shall go to the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the traveling alien." Any good you do, GOD is fully aware thereof.

[107:1] Do you know who really rejects the faith?
[107:2] That is the one who mistreats the orphans.


Orphans are children who do not have a father to take care of them. (Quran 4:2-6)

The righteous are kind and charitable towards the orphans and will never take advantage of them.

God is on the side of the oppressed. And He is extremely displeased with those who take advantage of the weak. Those who unjustly consume the orphans' properties are condemned in the strongest of words--God says such people "eat fire into their bellies" and will "suffer in Hell" (Quran 4:10).

May God help us to regard the orphans and be charitable towards them.

[4:10] Those who consume the orphans' properties unjustly, eat fire into their bellies, and will suffer in Hell.

[17:34] You shall not touch the orphans' money except for their own good, until they reach maturity. You shall fulfill your covenants, for a covenant is a great responsibility.

[89:16] But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, "My Lord is humiliating me!"
[89:17] Wrong! It is you who brought it on yourselves by not regarding the orphan.
[89:18] And not advocating charity towards the poor.
[89:19] And consuming the inheritance of helpless orphans.
[89:20] And loving the money too much.
