It is with immense gratitude and hope that we announce the reopening of our beloved orphanage for 2024. After months of preparation and hard work, we are thrilled to welcome 20 remarkable students who will embark on a life-changing journey with us.
These children, born into the beauty of Islam, have faced unimaginable challenges at such a tender age. They have lost both parents, victims of the violent conflicts that have plagued parts of the Philippines. Yet, despite their hardships, their hearts remain filled with resilience and the potential to grow into leaders of faith and hope.
A Sanctuary of Learning and Growth
Our orphanage is more than a shelter; it is a sanctuary where these children can rediscover love, security, and purpose. It is a place where their faith will be nurtured, their minds enriched, and their spirits uplifted.
For 2024, our primary focus is on Islamic studies. Each of our 20 students will have the opportunity to memorize the Qur'an and embark on the journey to becoming Hafiz, preserving the sacred words of Allah in their hearts. Alongside this, they will learn essential Islamic values that will guide them in navigating the challenges of life while holding onto their faith.
Why This Mission Matters
These children, who have experienced loss and displacement, represent the future of our ummah (community). By investing in their education and spiritual growth, we are not only giving them a brighter future but also contributing to the strength and unity of the global Muslim community.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized the importance of caring for orphans, saying:"The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this," and he held his two fingers together to illustrate. (Bukhari)
This powerful reminder motivates us to continue this vital work, ensuring that these children are not forgotten but rather supported and cherished.
How You Can Help
This reopening is just the beginning, and the journey ahead requires all of us to come together. Your support, whether through prayers, donations, or spreading the word, will help us provide these children with the resources, education, and care they need to succeed.
Every donation directly impacts their lives, covering essentials like housing, food, education materials, and the salaries of dedicated teachers who guide them. Your generosity ensures these children can thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.
A Vision for the Future
As we look ahead, we envision expanding our orphanage to welcome more children and provide even greater opportunities. We dream of a future where these children, and others like them, can rise above their circumstances to become scholars, leaders, and contributors to society, all while carrying the light of the Qur'an in their hearts.
A Final Note of Gratitude
To everyone who has supported this mission, we extend our heartfelt thanks. you are part of a family that is transforming lives and building a legacy of faith and compassion.
As we step into 2025, let us continue to work together, hand in hand, to make this year a beacon of hope for these children and a testament to the power of our united efforts.
May Allah bless these young souls and all those who contribute to their journey. Ameen.
