Sponsor an Orphan: Give Food, Education & Hope
In Islam, caring for orphaned children is a direct path to Paradise.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Whoever treats an orphan with goodness and kindness, he and I will be as close to each other in Heaven as these two fingers.”
[Bukhari]
This hadith reflects not only the reward for such compassion but the importance of ensuring every child feels loved, protected, and seen. Through your donations, you are living this Sunnah and restoring dignity to a child in need.
Why Sponsor an Orphan?
There are millions of children around the world who have lost one or both parents. Many face hunger, lack of education, and no access to healthcare. Some are forced to work instead of going to school. Others go to bed hungry, uncertain of where their next meal will come from. When you sponsor an orphan, you provide the support they need to survive and grow. Just $45 a month gives:
- Healthy meals each day
- Clean clothes and school uniforms
- Educational tools like books and supplies
- Medical checkups and vaccines
- A secure, supportive environment
This isn’t just charity, it’s transformation. Your monthly sponsorship helps children grow into confident, educated, and hopeful young adults.

Orphan Care in Islam: A Rewarded Act of Compassion
The Quran repeatedly commands believers to protect the rights of orphans. Supporting orphaned children isn’t just encouraged, it’s a sign of true faith. These teachings guide our work and strengthen our commitment to caring for the vulnerable.
‘Have you seen him who denies the Day of Judgment? Such is the one who repulses the orphan And urges not the feeding of the needy.’
(Quran 107:1-3)
Sponsoring an orphan is an act of mercy, justice, and sincere devotion. Your support helps fulfill this call and brings you closer to the mercy of Allah (SWT).

By giving your Qurbani through Muslim Hands, you ensure that orphaned children and their families receive fresh meat during the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah. It’s more than a meal, it’s a moment of joy, a reason to smile, and a reminder that they are not forgotten.
