Many assume that orphans, children left behind by their fathers, are wayward and naughty. Maybe it is true that the orphans around us look wayward and naughty. Even so, we also need to care about them and if they help according to our ability. Also, we need to keep them from falling prey to negativity. As for those who think that the prayer of orphans mustajab. Really?
Explanation of Prayer for Mustajab Orphans or Not
Actually, there is no specific argument regarding the necessity of orphan prayer. However, Allah Almighty. said in Surah Ad-Dhuha verse 9 which has the following meaning:
“As for the orphan, don’t you rebuke him.” (Ad-Dhuha:9)
Allah says that we should not rebuke and be rude to orphans. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also commanded us to love orphans. In one hadith, the Prophet said,
“I and the one who takes care of (bears) the orphan (his position) in heaven like this.” He gestured with (both fingers i.e.) index and middle fingers and slightly stretched them apart.” (HR. Imam Al-Bukhari).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) hinted that those who bear orphans will be high in rank and will quickly enter paradise later. So great are the blessings of the hereafter that will be obtained for those who care for and even care for orphans. Although no evidence states the prayer of orphans mustajab, Allah SWT promises to hasten the fulfilment of the prayers of those who care for orphans.
