Story
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said "I and the custodian of an orphan are like this (together) in Paradise", and he joined his forefinger and middle finger together.” (Bukhari)
Muslim Council of Hong Kong has decided to join hands with Orphans in Need to raise important funds for the 9.000 plus orphans over 14 countries.
Throughout the world, the scale of orphan suffering runs into the millions. In countries where the social infrastructure is challenging, it is all too easy for the plight of young lives to assume a low profile. Orphaned children are deserving of global compassion.
Orphans in Need is a leading, well-respected charity dedicated to improving and empowering the lives of vulnerable orphans and widows. A UK based organisation, we operate throughout the world supporting 9,000 orphans in 14 countries in numerous ways. We employ front-line staff supported by hundreds of volunteers.
You’re reading this because you share our concern to make a difference. You might also want assurance that supporting Orphans in Need will deliver real results where it matters: real sustainable improvements to children’s and widow’s lives.

"The alms are only for the Fuqara' (the poor), and Al-Masakin (the needy) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's Cause, and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise." [Al-Quran 9:60]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said “He who looks after a widow and a needy person is like a fighter for the Cause of Allah.”
He (peace be upon him) also said:
"Like someone who stands up the night in prayer and worship and someone who is always fasting." (Bukhari)
