Think about the orphans and widows. They see everyone preparing new clothes and tasty food for Eid al-Adha, but they have nothing. You have the power to change that. Yes. When you give even a little money to put a smile on their faces, Allah (swt) sees you. And Allah helps those who help orphans. This help might not necessarily or always giving you more money, but with peace in your heart, safety for your family, prevention of calamities or an easy way out of a hard problem you are facing.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will help a servant as long as the servant helps his fellow Muslim.” 📚Bukhari & Muslim
Now remember this truth:
Muslim preachers cannot go to churches and ask Christians to take care of our Muslim orphans and widows. It is not their duty—it is ours. If we do not help our own people, who will? On the day of Eid, while you are laughing with your children, some widow’s child will be crying because there is no meat, no new clothes, no joy. Do not let that happen. You can stop those tears.
So give whatever you can, today. Continue to drop something everyday until the last day to idul-adha festival. Yes. Whether you are Nigerian or non-Nigeria. Do not wait for month end or until you have something reasonable to give. A small amount from you, when combined with others, becomes a big feast for a sad family.
Imagine the dua (prayer) of an orphan on Eid morning, saying, “O Allah, bless the one who made me smile.” That dua could change your whole life. Be the reason a widow and an orphan feel loved this Eid al-Adha. Act now, and taste the sweetness of helping before you see people who gives enjoying the shade of Allah (swt) on the day of judgment, leaving you swimming inside your sweat.
