KINDNESS TOWARDS ORPHANS
3:36:15 2023-07-19 585

The rights of parents and the kinsfolk have the foremost priority. After these people, the weaker sections of society deserve our kind treatment. In this regard, the orphans and the indigent persons have been mentioned first.

And treat with kindness the orphans and the indigent ones. (Q18)

Father's demise deprives a child of love, care and sometimes economic stability which are of basic importance. So it is the responsibility of a society to take care of these orphaned children, and not to allow these children to feel the loss of their fathers. Any negligence on the part of the society would not only affect their physical growth but impair them mentally and emotionally. It is very likely that such uncared for children may harbor rebellious tendencies against such heartless society. Instead of being good citizens, they could turn into anti-social elements.

The Qur'an and the traditions of the Prophet have repeatedly stressed the need to take care of these orphaned children, their educational needs and their property, if any. The Prophet (PBUH) said:

The man who takes care of the orphans, related or not, will be with me in Paradise as these two fingers of mine.

Orphans could not take care of their own rights because of their helplessness and lack of understanding. It is easy to usurp their rights. The Qur'an has condemned such usurpers.

Those who unjustly cat up the property of orphans, cat up a fire into their own bodies, they will soon be enduring a blazing fire. Al Nisa : 10 (Q19)

Islam makes the society responsible not only to take care of these orphaned children but to help them become God-fearing and civilized citizens who would be an asset to the society, instead of a nuisance.
