Orphans  
     
1. Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.”  
2.

The Prophet said, “It is an obligation for all true Muslims to take care of the children of family and friends in the event those children are orphaned.”

 
3.

The Prophet said, “To a child, it is the parent that first teaches of the nature of Allah and the world. Therefore, Allah commands all Muslims to ensure that all children born of Muslims are properly cared in a loving family and not left to grow up alone if orphaned.”

 
4. The Prophet said, “The best Muslim house is that in which is an orphan, who is benefited; and the worst Muslim house is that in which an orphan is ill-treated.  
5.

The Prophet said, “It is better a Muslim leader avoids making orphans first, than caring for them second.”
