Protect orphans

Whoever cares for orphans will be in Paradise.
Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), said,
The one who cares for an orphan will be in Paradise.❞
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 6005
They ask you (Muhammad) about orphans. Say, Promotion of their welfare is an act of great goodness. There is no harm in your living together with them, for they are your brothers.
—Quran 2:220

Worship none but Allah; be kind to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people; establish prayer; and pay alms-tax.
—Quran 2:83

Those who consume the property of orphans unjustly are actually swallowing fire into their own bellies.
—Quran 4:10

Before this verse was revealed many severe injunctions had already been revealed regarding the protection of orphans’ property. It had been ordained that “people should not even draw near to the property of the orphan” (6:152 ;17:34).
