Teaching Children what the Glorious Quran really says about orphans…

Orphans

Allah Subhanawatala describes the righteous in Paradise as being those who took care of orphans during their worldly life.

‘And they [the righteous] give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive…’ Al Insan(76): 8

Allah Subhanawatala suggests that a person who ignores orphans is not really a believer.

‘Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense [the religion]? For that is the one who drives away the orphan’. Al Ma’un (107): 1-2

Below Ayah tells us that orphans actually have the right to be taken care of. But with every right comes responsibility, and the Quran places this responsibility on the individual, meaning every Muslim should give to orphans in need.

‘They ask you, [O Muhammad], what they should spend [in charity]. Say, “Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveller. And whatever you do of good – indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.”’ Al Baqarah (2): 215

Care for Orphans

In Florida, there are hundreds of children waiting for your love and guidance in the foster care program.

How Ar-Rayyan helps orphans

Ar-Rayyan try to collaborate with local foster care, orphanage, children’s group homes, and adoption agencies, all working together to help these children find a loving home. Some children may only need a temporary safe and loving home, while many others are looking for their forever home with adoptive parents. Ar-Rayyan holds adoption and foster care seminars to provide a better understanding of the programs available. In addtion, strives to provide requested items to children living in foster homes and is working on developing additional support programs for these youth.

Adoption and foster care allowed in Islam?

Whether adoption and foster care is allowed in Islam is often misunderstood. Islam does not prohibit adoption, but rather encourages it. Islam provides clear teachings to allow adoption while, at the same time, preserve the integrity of the family. Adoption of children for the purpose of raising and caring for them is not only permissible but a very blessed deed in Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said “I and the one who sponsors an orphan are like this in Paradise.” Then he joined his index and middle fingers (Bukhari) Adoption is encouraged in Islam. However, it is unlawful to claim the child as your own if there is no biological relationship. Since adopted and foster care children retain their own family identity, considerations must be made to uphold an Islamic environment with the family.

Is Bringing another child in to my home expensive? Is there any financial assistance?

There are no adoption fees when you adopt a child from the foster care program. You may be eligible for tax credits to help offset your expenses. If you choose to become a foster parent, you may be eligible for monthly stipends to help with the additional expenses. Children from the foster care program may also be eligible for a free college education. Bringing a child in to your home may increase your monthly expenses slightly but the rewards are far greater!

What are the requirements to become foster parent?

All potential parents must pass background screenings and complete a training program. The process may take approximately 6-9 months to complete. The main requirements are: a big and loving heart, a loving home, and the desire to make a difference in a child’s life.
