The Muslimness Orphan: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
We started a Sacrifice Yourself Campaign in November '09 which is our humble way of taking part in humanitarian causes online.
As a group effort we wanted to sacrifice our luxuries and riches for those who live without them. We are in the top 10% in the global rich list you know, time to spread that wealth.
Presenting the Sacrifice Yourself Campaign online is important for us because it reflects our Muslim beliefs and it's important for you, to spread the kindness, track our progress and participate.
Action Aid: One of our ideas was to provide help for children in poorer areas to eliminate their poverty and give them regular care. Therefore in October '09, Muslimness got in touch with Action Aid with questions about sponsoring an orphan.
Our Orphan child: Alhamdulillah Action Aid were very courteous and after a lengthy discussion and agreement, we set the foundation for our first sponsor! The full details will be shared with you soon as well as whom our orphan is - We're very excited to be part of this young child's life.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of Islam reminded the community in Madina that:
"The best house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well treated. The worst house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are ill treated. I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden like that," indicating his two fingers joined together.
Reported by Abu Hurayra (ra).
It is therefore incumbent on all of us regardless of faith, to remove the inequalities in society. An orphan could not describe to you how lonely, difficult and burdensome their life is without a mother's love, a father's guidance and the adult supervision to grow and learn with stability.
How to Sponsor: Sponsoring an orphan is very simple and beautifully rewarding on all levels. It gives the gift of food, shelter, education and skills to survive; the gifts we in developed countries certainly take for granted. Our particular sponsorship is only £15 a month, that's a mere 50 pence a day.
Sponsoring an orphan through Action Aid allows us to write to the child, receive a photograph and two personal messages a year from them along with reports about the difference we are making.
Donate: You don't have to sacrifice your own time, effort or money - although if you did you'd save a person's life. To support Muslimness in sponsoring our orphan: contact@muslimness.com.
