Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Assalaamu Alaykum Wa RahmatuAllah Wa Barakatu!</span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">(May the peace &amp; salutations, Mercy and Blessings of&nbsp;Allah be upon you)</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WHY ORPHANS:</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">TheProphet (PBUH) said:</span><span style="color: #1c1c1c;"> <strong>"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"</strong> [Sahih alBukhari]</span></p> <p>So are you going to let this opportunity pass??</p> <p>Orphans are the most vulnerable of society who are targeted physically, psychologically and religiously. It is the first and foremost responsibility of the Ummah as a whole to provide them with adequate protection from such elements. The greatest contribution to the most disadvantaged (orphans and poor) of society is to provide them with love, care and the light of knowledge as well as worldly skills to make them self-sufficient. so Kingston ISOC Sisters are raising money to sponsor orphans, with the view of&nbsp;continuing. InshaAllah.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ABOUT THIS PROJECT:</span></strong></p> <p>The purpose of the page is to reach out to those who are not&nbsp;particularly from our University but wish to&nbsp;be apart of this opportunity in gaining reward from Allah and helping our little orphan brothers and sisters around the world. Ummah Welfare Trust is a trusted charity that members at the KUISOC have worked with and know very well and we&nbsp;decided, instead of&nbsp;just&nbsp;sponsoring one or a few&nbsp;selected orphan&nbsp;children, we thought best&nbsp;to instead&nbsp;fill up the Orphans&nbsp;Funding Department, so that Ummah Welfare Trust can distribute the funds to the most needed orphans in&nbsp;any part of the world which their services reach. Places such as; Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Albania, Burma, Pakistan, Bangledish, Sudan, India, Kashmir.</p> <p>*We hope that you will join us in our indevure.

Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them -- as a reward for their (good) Deeds.
