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

    Religious believers should show more compassion to the poor in developing countries. Do you agree?

    However, religious believers themselves shouldn’t just be the only ones who should show more compassion. In order to help the poor, everyone in the world should help in different ways (e.g. donating to charity). God has given us free will, so it’s the religious believers’ choice if he or she wants to show more compassion to the poor or not. The religious believer may also be in a difficult position themselves where they are unable to contribute to helping the poor.…

    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…

    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).…

    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…

    Poor People 17th Century (Dbq)

    Many townspeople felt that it was their responsibility as a citizen to care for the poor in their town. For example, a town council in France felt responsible for the “poor begging creatures” and “poor children” in the town, and they respond by renting out a barn at the city’s cost to house and care for the poor. (Doc 2) This shows how the towns felt that it was their duty to care for their poor. Also, Juan Luis Vives, a humanist, felt that the poor, in their deprived situations of begging, stealing, and wandering, are driven to that by necessity of self care. He feels that there is a duty to help the poor, however many people do not act on that duty because they are overwhelmed by the immense number, they uncertain where to put their money, or they just don’t perform the duties commanded of them. (Doc 3) This shows the feeling of responsibility to help the poor that the people had, and also the responses they had to this feeling. Another account of a town council’s meeting says that those poor who are simply unable to find work are deserving of assistance from the city, but those who are idle are…

    Duty Of Charity To The Poor Dbq Analysis

    By this statement they are able to remove the poor off the streets and prevent themselves or their citizens from being disturbed. By having it written on a resolution, the likelihood on the completion of the action increases (POV). Spanish humanist, Juan Luis Vives brings a sympathetic tone in his speech when addressing the poor, and adds on to the idea that the poor deserve aid. He states, “Some know they have a duty of charity to the poor” and uses key words like “good intentions” (Doc 3). Highlighting it is one’s duty to look after and care for the poor due to the appalling living conditions that they lived in. In Document 9, there is a picture of a man at the door of his house, giving alms to the beggars. This expresses Rembrandt van Rijn sympathetic view towards beggars as the picture depicts the man calmly giving the money to the beggars without any sings of disgust but rather support. Perhaps, the sympathy was evoked by seeing the condition of the family resulting in the feeling that one must give alms and showing a reason as to why many feel a need for a sympathetic gesture to the poor. Lastly, Vincent de Paul, another Catholic priest shows his support to the poor by saying in speech to his order that there should be a…

    Unloved Child

    Like the quote said, the world does not need more unloved children. There are so many orphanages that have kids that don't know what love is. 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.…

    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.…

    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…
