TREATING ORPHANS WELL AND
BEING METICULOUS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS
(God makes the Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will reflect)
on this world and the hereafter. They will ask you about the prop-
erty of orphans. Say, ‘Managing it in their best interests is best.’ If
you mix your property with theirs, they are your brothers…(Surat
al-Baqarah, 220)
And your Lord will give you and you will be pleased. Did He not
find you orphaned and shelter you? Did He not find you wandering
and guide you? Did He not find you impoverished and enrich you?
So as for orphans, do not oppress them. (Surat ad-Dhuha, 5-9)
Have you seen him who denies the religion? He is the one who
harshly rebuffs the orphan and does not urge the feeding of the
poor. (Surat al-Ma’un, 1-3)
Remember when We made a covenant with the tribe of Israel: ‘Wor-
ship none but God and be good to your parents and to relatives and
orphans and the very poor. And speak good words to people. And
perform prayer and give the alms.’ But then you turned away–except
a few of you–you turned aside. (Surat al-Baqarah, 83)
People who consume the property of orphans wrongfully consume
nothing in their bellies except fire. They will roast in a Searing Blaze.
(Surat an-Nisa’, 10)
If other relatives or orphans or poor people attend the sharing-out,
provide for them out of it and speak to them correctly and courte-
ously. (Surat an-Nisa’, 8)
Worship God and do not associate anything with Him. Be good to
your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and
to neighbours who are related to you and neighbours who are not
related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves.
