Sponsor an Orphan
Sponsor an Orphan: Be a Beacon of Hope
In Islam, caring for orphans is a noble deed with immense spiritual rewards.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,
“I and the person who looks after an orphan will be in Paradise like this,” showing two fingers close together.
This profound statement highlights the immense blessings and closeness to the Prophet for those who support orphans. Unfortunately, countless orphaned children around the world, especially in conflict and poverty-stricken areas, lack the basic necessities of life and the loving care they deserve.
Imagine the difference you can make in an orphan’s life by providing them with the chance to grow, learn, and thrive in a supportive environment. Sponsoring an orphan through HCR offers these children access to education, healthcare, nutritious food, and emotional support. It not only helps them survive but empowers them to build a brighter future.
Your sponsorship is more than just a charitable act; it’s a life-changing opportunity for a child who has lost everything. By supporting an orphan, you’re not only fulfilling a significant aspect of Islamic duty but also playing a vital role in nurturing the next generation. Join us in this compassionate mission and make a lasting impact on a young life. Your generosity can transform despair into hope and pave the way for an orphaned child to prosper and live a dignified life. Sponsor an orphan today and be a source of light and guidance, earning immense rewards in this life and the Hereafter.

Orphan Sponsorship in Islam
The Messenger of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى spoke highly of sponsoring an orphan, stating:
“I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be in Paradise like these two – and he gestured with his forefinger and middle finger, holding them apart.”
[Bukhari, 5304]
This hadith highlights the immense reward of orphan sponsorship in Islam, promising the sponsor a place in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in Paradise. Caring for orphans is considered a highly virtuous deed in Islam, and believers are strongly encouraged to support those in need, including orphans, as emphasised in the Quran and Hadith. Numerous verses highlight the importance of caring for the vulnerable, underscoring it as an expression of faith in Allah and belief in the afterlife.
In Surah Al-Ma’un, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى says:
“Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense? For that is the one who drives away the orphan. And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.”
[Al-Ma’un 107:1-3]
“Indeed, he did not believe in Allah, the Almighty, and did not persuade (others) to feed the needy.”
[Al-Haqqah 69: 33-34]
These verses and teachings highlight the critical importance of supporting orphans and the needy, portraying it as a vital act of faith and compassion in Islam.

Sponsor an Orphan: Transform a Life, Earn Endless Rewards
Imagine being a child who has lost everything – parents, security, and hope for the future. This is the reality for an estimated 153 million orphans worldwide, children who face unimaginable challenges and heartache every day. These young souls, torn from the safety of their families, are often left to navigate a harsh world alone, vulnerable to poverty, exploitation, and despair.
From the war-torn regions of Gaza to areas ravaged by disease, poverty, and natural disasters, the reasons children become orphaned are as varied as they are devastating. Subhan’Allah, these innocent lives call out for our compassion and mercy, testing our commitment to care for those most in need.
This is where you come in. By sponsoring an orphan, you can be the light in a child’s dark world. Your sponsorship provides essential care, education, and emotional support, offering these children a chance to thrive against the odds. It’s more than just charity; it’s a lifeline. It’s a promise of a better future, a chance for these children to grow up with dignity, hope, and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.
Join us in this noble cause. Sponsor an orphan today and make a difference that echoes beyond this life, bringing endless rewards in the Hereafter. Your compassion can change a life – and it starts with your generous support.

Before you support our Poverty Relief Programme, Food Appeal, Water Appeal, Gaza Emergency Appeal, Syria Emergency Appeal, Yemen Emergency Appeal, Pakistan Appeal, or any Emergency Appeal, remember to make the intention that you are donating for the sake of Allah first and helping your fellow Muslim brothers and sisters second. This is very important because as Muslims, whatever act of worship we do, we do it for the sake of Allah.
Along with our emergency appeals, we are working on some amazing projects which will, Insha’Allah, bring prosperity to many Muslim homes from around the world. Donate your Sadaqah and Zakat to our projects like Build a Masjid, Livelihoods for the Poor, Sponsor a Widow, Sponsor an Orphan, Sponsor a Nikah, Donate a Sewing Machine, or help educate the Ummah by donating towards education projects, Sponsoring a Hafiz, Sponsoring a Child in Education, or supporting young people in university and Islamic education. Donate with confidence, Insha’Allah, every penny of your donation is your Amanah, and we will try our best to spend it on people who are in need.
Every year, we as Muslims celebrate two seasons the most: one, Ramadan, and two, the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. During these blessed days, we put all our efforts into pleasing Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى by performing good deeds. Here at HCR, we provide you with the platform to perform an important act of worship: charity. In Ramadan, you can donate to the Ramadan Food Appeal, and Ramadan Zakat Appeal, Donate Your Fidyah, Donate Your Fitrana, and Pay Your Kaffarah for Breaking Oath or Breaking Fast, especially during the blessed nights of Laylatul Qadr. In Dhul Hijjah, we are here to help fulfil your duty of performing Qurbani. Whichever cause you choose, choose it with confidence. Insha’Allah.
