Bismillah hirRahmanir Rahim…
Assalaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi waBarakatahu,
Inshallah everyone is in the best state of imaan.
There is an American non-Muslim agency who has brought over here to Los Angeles within last few days, 570 Afghan Orphans from Afghanistan. These orphans are at various ages, starting from newborn until about 10 years of age. These beautiful children are waiting to be adopted by us here in the US. If they don’t find a home with afghans/muslims, then they will be adopted by non-Muslims. I have to stress how VERY important it is that we all work together IMMEDIATELY in spreading the word about this…
Narrated Sahl bin Sa’d (r): The Prophet (sws) said, “I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this,” putting his index and middle fingers together. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8 Hadith No. 34)
Narrated Abu Hurairah (r): The Prophet (sws) said, “The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (figher) who fights for Allah’s Cause, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 7, Hadith No. 265).
For more information in how you can adopt a child(ren) you can The Child sponsorship Department at IARA-USA at 573 443-0166. This number works!
