An orphan is a person (typically a child)
An orphan is a person (typically a child), who has lost both his/her parents, often through death. The Qur'an forbids harsh and oppressive treatment of orphan's children while urging kindness and justice towards them. Muhammad (SAW) himself was an orphan. The Qur'an speaks of the reward waiting for those who feed orphans, poor and the prisoner for the love of God. Quran 76 8 And they give food out of love to the poor and the orphan and the captive. 9 "We only feed you for the sake of God; we do not desire from you any reward or thanks." 10 "We fear from our Lord a Day, which will be horrible and difficult."
