Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd (ra): The Prophet said,
I and the person who looks after an Orphan and provides for him, will be (together) in Paradise like this - putting his index and middle fingers together. (Saheeh Al Bukhari, Book 8, Volume 73, Hadith 34 )

AllahsWord.com has begun an Orphanage fund where the users of this site can donate money to help in the building of an orphanage in Bangladesh.

This is the 2nd major project undertaken by AllahsWord.com



The first project which has been running for over 2 years now was the building of 2 Mosque & Education Centres in Bangladesh which also supports 20 orphans (10 orphans in each Mosque). Monthly contributions ensures that the orphans are clothed, fed and are receiving an Islamic Education and also ensures that the mosque itself is fully functional and offering the 5 daily prayers.

Every so often (when we can afford it), we double our monthly contribution so that a cow can be slaughtered and cooked which ends up feeding over 300 people. For many of them, this may be the first time that they have eaten meat all year. Other times a cow is slaughtered and the meat is distributed in plastic bags for them to take home to their families. Any money that is left over is reinvested in educational excursions for the orphans as the majority of them have never been outside of their village.

We are pleased to say that Eid prayers were performed for the first time in many years due to the newly constructed mosques with a huge turnout. Extra contributions from us during the month of Ramadan allows for iftar (breaking of fast) programs where the mothers of the orphans and some other local poor and needy are invited to break their fast at the mosque.

The project also holds yearly festivals where the whole community is invited for a day of fun and interaction.

Recently, the Mayor of the area visited the project and was blown away by its impact on the community and the project's success.

A report was given to us about the project and 1 comment stood out to us from the entire report. The person who wrote the report said "Many mothers were coming up to me and asking me when their orphaned child would be able to be included in the program". This comment touched our heart and our eyes became filled with sorrow because we are stretched to our maximum, supporting 20 orphans on our own and we can't afford to take on anymore.

We understand that we can't help every orphan but we were still depressed for a couple of days and feeling helpless. And then it hit us! Why not use our website (AllahsWord.com) to reach out to Muslims who are willing to contribute in the building of an orphanage. Even $1 can make a difference!

The land has already been donated and is awaiting funds to begin the construction of the orphanage. There is no administration fees (except paypal fees) as the entire project is run by volunteers which means that 98% of your contribution will reach its intended destination (Paypal takes around 2%) so you can donate with confidence.

Once the orphanage is constructed, photos will be uploaded to AllahsWord.com so that you will be able to see its progress.

Even though Allah will reward you for your contributions and double whatever you have contributed back to your credit, the liberal reward of having helped a community of your Muslim brothers and sisters is more than enough reward.

We can make a difference!

Why Bangladesh you ask, because we found that our dollar goes a lot further there which means that we can help the maximum number of our Muslim brothers and sisters there with the available funds even though we are not from Bangladesh.

Muslims are one brotherhood regardless of where they are from.

In the sight of Allah, an Orphan from Bangladesh is as equal as a king from Saudi Arabia!

Lets work together in giving our fellow Muslims the basic essentials of life.

This is the first orphanage project and Insha Allah together, we will be able to build orphanages all over the world.

If you can't afford to donate, that's ok, please make dua (Supplications) for the project instead or of course you can do both!

"They ask you, (O Muhammad), what they shall spend
(In Charity). Say: that which you spend for good (must go)
to Parents and near Kindred and Orphans and the needy and
the wayfarer. And whatsoever good you do, lo! Allah is
(Well) Aware of it." (Surah 2:215 - Al Baqarah)
