Sponsor a Muslim Orphan
"And they feed, for the love of Allah, the poor, the orphan, and the captive..."
[Soorah al-Insaan, 8]
When a little girl cries halfway around the world, are her tears any less real?
Would you like to be like a mujaahid or like those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying?
"One who cares for widows and the poor is like those who fight in the way of Allah or those who spend their days fasting and their nights praying." [Agreed upon, also in Adab al-Mufrad of Imaam Al-Bukhari in chapter "The Virtue of Those Who Care for Orphans"]
Would you like your heart to soften and Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala to answer your prayers?
A man once came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, and complained that he feels hardness in his heart. The Messenger of Allah said, what translated means, "Would you like that your heart becomes soft and that you acquire what you need? Be merciful with the orphan, pat his head and feed him from what you eat. This will soften your heart, and enable you to get what you need." [At-Tabarani & As-Silsilah as-Sahihah]
Would you like Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala to remove one of your griefs on the Day of Judgment?
"Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of the Day of Judgment" [Saheeh Muslim]
Would you like forgiveness and bounty from Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala?
"The Shaytan promises you poverty and enjoins you on lewdness. But Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself with bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower." [Soorah al-Baqarah, 268]
Would you like angels to make du`aa for you?
"No day dawns upon [Allah's] servants without two angels descending [to Earth]. One of them says, 'O Allah, give recompense (khalaf) to those who give [charity]!'; the other says, 'O Allah give loss (talaf) to those who withhold [charity]!'" [Agreed upon]
Would you like to be in the enternal Jannah with our beloved Prophet and the best of creation, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam?
"I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between." [Saheeh al-Bukhaari]

for this reminder and who would would not prefer angels dua
"No day dawns upon [Allah's] servants without two angels descending [to
Earth]. One of them says, 'O Allah, give recompense (khalaf) to those
who give [charity]!'; the other says, 'O Allah give loss (talaf) to
those who withhold [charity]
It's truely nice to find that people are still caring in
this world may Allah guide you and InshaAllah let's
all work towards a goal in which we at least touch
a few people's heart everyday. Let's all work toward
the betterment of poor and needy people around the
world..

Reach out to asia.. sounds excellent..
This is exactly the type of charity I would be interest in as it deals with the core issues where poverty and human rights abuse grow.
And the sheikha is very pretty too! May Allah reward her and continue to guide and purify her inshAllah ameen.

thank you DG and Nadt I appreciate the positive from you both!
I would like to ask DG if she has any inside knowledge of these organizations?
Also remember that charity starts at home, with our family, our neighbors and so on in that order. The idea being that once we are strong from within we can do so much more for the world by uniting and working together.

This is a wonderful idea and thank you for posting the thought.
There are millions of orphans around the world of all different religions or no religion and each is equally deserving of love and support.
