Mercy for Orphans
Prophet Muhammad (saw) was kind to all people and asked his followers to be the same. He was especially kind to orphans and asked his companions to be kind to them. Thauban (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying, "Only supplication averts the decree (of fate), only kindness prolongs life, and a man is deprived of provision for a fault he has committed."
Ibn Umar (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying, "A Muslim is a Muslim's brother; he does not wrong him. If anyone cares for his brother's need, Allah will take care of his need; if anyone relieves his brother's anxiety, Allah will remove from him one of his anxieties on the Day of Resurrection; and if anyone conceals a Muslim's secrets, Allah will conceal his secrets on the Day of Resurrection."
Abu Hurairah (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying, "The best house among the Muslims is one where an orphan is well treated, and the worst house among the Muslims is one where an orphan is badly treated."
Abu Omamah (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying, "If anyone caresses an orphan by moving his fingers in his hair, doing so only for God's sake, he will have blessings for every hair over which his hand passes and if anyone treats well an orphan girl or boy under his care, he and I shall be like these two in Paradise," putting two of his fingers together.
Abu Hurairah (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying, "He who strives to serve a widow and a poor person is like the one who strives in Allah's way." He also reported that when a man complained to the Messenger of Allah of being hardhearted he said, "Show affection to the orphans and feed the poor."

By God's Divine wisdom, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was an orphan, in order to console the hearts of all orphans that would come after him, as he, the best of all mankind and the most beloved to God, was an orphan.
Prophet Muhammad used to care for orphans and he used to ask his companions to

    Comparing James And The Giant Peach As An Orphan

    Whether one is reading fantasy, a literary tale, or realistic fiction, there is an abundance of orphans. The protagonist usually starts his or her adventure when they become parentless, which generally happens before the story has officially started. As a result, these characters are resilient and frequently become leaders. They also often have to learn more as well, as they do not have parents to teach them how to be good people. James from James and the Giant Peach, Mary Lennox from The Secret Garden, and Gilly from The Great Gilly Hopkins all have adventures and become resilient because they are orphans.…

    Elizabethan Poor Laws and the Unworthy Poor

    Over Four hundred years ago the citizens of England developed one of the first versions of our modern social welfare system. During this time, the poor were labeled as either worthy or unworthy. Elderly, widows, orphans and disabled were considered worthy poor, while unworthy poor included those that physically could work, but chose not to do so. They were often severely punished for their refusal to follow the expected social norms. (Shelly, 2011).…

    Mother Teresa's Heroic Hero

    She revealed, to the world, how much the destitute suffered. The international community, and even Mother Teresa, was shocked upon seeing the living conditions of the poor. She wrote, “Today, I learned a good lesson… I thought how much they must ache in body and soul, looking for a home, food and health,” (Spink, 241) Mother Teresa’s work inspired others to help the needy, because she truly loved and assisted them (“Mother Teresa of Calcutta”). She devoted more than 45 years of her life to those who are stricken with poverty, dying, or unwanted around the world. Many believed her never-ending love of the poor brought “light” into the world.…

    There are many parallels that can be drawn between August Wilson’s and Arthur Miller’s main characters in both of their respective plays. While some may not be immediately obvious, I plan to connect many of the dots to illuminate the similar characteristics exhibited by the characters in question. Wilson and Miller both present main characters that have similarities such as having strained relationships with their children. Other comparable traits between these two characters are their unfaithfulness to their wife, and not being able to face reality.…

    Passionate About Compassion

    At the age of nine Ala weighed only fifty five pounds and lived in a crowed orphanage with about twenty kinds with physical or mental disabilities. Once arriving in Wisconsin, Ala’s health greatly improved, he surpassed the amount of times he had seen a doctor in all his time in Iraq while only being in the United States for six months. Ala had now been privileged, thanks to Southworth, to receive physical therapy to help control his head and other muscles. Now only after four years, at the age of thirteen he’s doubled his weight to a hundred and eleven pounds. Southworth says, “we crossed political boundaries. We crossed religious boundaries. There was a massive effort – all on behalf of this little boy who desperately needed people to actually take some action and not just feel sorry for him.” Southworth’s story truly defines the meaning of compassion. He not only felt sorry for, and had an urge to help Ala, but rather he acted on his feelings and did everything with in his power to provide Ala a healthier and safer life than he ever experienced…

    Group Homes

    Orphanage conditions varied but they tended to be poor. Many orphanages were highly regimented, especially early in the century. Children marched to meals, ate in silence, wore uniforms and sometimes had their heads shaved. Corporal punishment was common and children were routinely beaten across the hands with leather straps. To make matters worse, orphanages were often dangerous. The mortality rate was not much better than living on the streets. Older, bigger, tougher kids bullied younger, smaller children. As hard as it was to leave kids at the mercy of some adults, it was much worse to leave them at the mercy of hundreds of kids. Living in an orphanage meant…

There are so many kids that go home everyday, to a house that if they say one word, they get beat to the point of bruises, and even scars, because their parents don't love them, or care about their feelings.…

    Institutional Care Influence

    Institutional care is damaging to a child’s psychological wellbeing due to a lack of affection children are shown. M.H. Van Ijzendoorn et al. (2011) explained that children whom are exposed to institutional care do not receive the nurturing environment needed for a healthy psychological development (p. 8). One way this need can be countered is by placing children in less populated facilities where the caregiver will give a child attention and affection. China is countering this need by placing children in group homes with a family setting where the staff acts as parents to teach children academic, social, and life skills, according to C. Neimetz (2011). Furthermore, children feel that sense of belongings, and it provides them with a parental…
