"I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," said the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him), and he joined his index and middle fingers together.
The guardianship of orphans is very important in the Islamic tradition. Zakat Foundation of America's (Zakat Foundation of America) Orphan Sponsorship Program (OSP) provides shelter, food, education, and access to healthcare to orphans around the world.
