Caring for Orphans

SUMMARY: Taking care of an orphan, whether they are related or not, will be rewarded with a place in Jannah.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "He who takes care of an orphan, whether he is his relative or a stranger, will be in Jannah with me like these two". The narrator, Malik bin Anas raised his forefinger and middle finger for illustration. Muslim.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith reported by Abu Hurairah and narrated by Malik bin Anas states that taking care of an orphan, whether they are related or not, will be rewarded with a place in Jannah. This is a great reminder to us all that we should take the time to look after those who have no one else to look after them. It is also important to note that this reward is not limited only to those who are related but also applies to strangers as well. This shows us the importance of being kind and generous towards others regardless of their background or relationship with us. Furthermore, it teaches us the value of compassion and mercy which should be extended even towards those whom we do not know personally.
