Dream - Islam is a religion that greatly honors orphans. Children who no longer have parents certainly need the help of others to alleviate their suffering. Therefore, the way to honor orphans is by uplifting their dignity and quality of life from that suffering. The Prophet Muhammad himself greatly honored orphans. He was responsible for both the worldly and the hereafter and became the father of orphans. Thus, he earned the title of Abul Yatama. In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad also taught how to love orphans.
"Wipe the head of an orphan..." (HR. Ahmad) Especially in this blessed month of Ramadan, it is an opportunity to do as much good as possible. One of them is to provide assistance to orphans."
Well, here are some virtues of helping orphans as summarized by Dream through various sources.

"Hadith Narrated by Thabrani"
Narrated by Abu Ya'la and Thobrani, Sahih At Targhib Al Albani states: "Whoever includes an orphan child between two Muslim parents in their meals and drinks, providing for their needs, then they will definitely enter paradise."
"Hadith narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud"
"Oh Saib, observe the manners that you used to practice during your ignorance, and continue to practice them in Islam. Welcome guests, honor orphans, and be kind to your neighbors."
Rights of Orphans in Islam
"Orphans have their own special privileges in Islam. Therefore, they have their rights as orphans as follows:"
1. Treated well
Orphaned children have the right to be treated well. In fact, Allah SWT prohibits acting arbitrarily towards orphaned children. Such treatment includes protection, affection, and comfort.
2. Food Sufficiency and Needs
Sufficient for the needs of orphans is a very noble thing. Whether it is sufficient in terms of food or their needs. This is an act that is highly recommended in Islam. As the Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever feeds and gives drink to an individual orphan among the Muslim community, then Allah will admit him to Paradise, except if he commits a sin that is unforgivable."
3. Education
The right of an orphan is to receive education, just like any other child. In addition, Islam itself has commanded the Muslim community, both men and women, to seek knowledge. The Prophet Muhammad also once said that those who take care of orphans will attain a high position in heaven in the future.
4. Treasure
Orphaned children have the right to the property they own. That is why Islam strongly prohibits anyone from taking or using the property of orphaned children without permission or without clear reasons. In the Quran, it has been explained that the property of orphaned children can only be used for beneficial purposes for themselves.

(HR. Ahmad)"

4. Avoiding Punishment
Caring for orphans can save someone from punishment in the hereafter.

(Narrated by Thabrani from Abu Hurairah)
