THE PROTECTION OF ORPHANS ACCORDING TO THE QUR’AN

Abstract

This paper aims to explore the protection of orphans in the light of Qur’anic verses. After a discussion on certain regulations and responsibilities that establish orphans as natural members of our society, the paper highlights within the framework of Qur’anic verses some of the religious, moral, and social duties both individuals and the larger community have to fulfi ll. Before the advent of Islam, orphans had to endure humiliation, oppression, and alienation. The regulations and principles that were introduced with Islam were designed to help orphans to identify themselves with a well-grounded character, develop as a healthy person in mind, body, and spirit, and to be integrated into the society with active participation. The Qur’an stipulates for orphans a life with honor and dignity, thus encourages Muslims to provide protection over orphans, to afford their fi nancial, educational and other needs, and to follow closely their their personal, physical, spiritual, and social developments. In this paper, the emphasis has been laid more on the Qur’anic verses which clearly reveals the value Islam reserves for orphans, rather than the jurisprudential arguments, in order to specify basic teaching and principles on the topic
