“Did God not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?”
[Qur’an 93:6]
Prophet Mohammad, upon whom be peace, had lost his father even before his birth, but eventually the natural voice of pity and humanity dwelling in his heart made him the refuge of orphans. It was the first time in history that orphanages sprung under his teaching. The world owes its orphanages to this prophet born an orphan.
The founder and chairman of the SmileOrphan project, Mohsen Mdaoukhi, too, is an Orphan. He has lived through the extreme of helplessness and suffered the miseries of life since his early years.
His father was a land-owner. Affluent and generous as he was, he looked after a lot of people including his relatives and neighbors. His family had a good time. But it was not to be. Destiny had something else in store. He passed away and left his children helpless.
Many of the relatives, who had once got benefited from the diseased, now ganged against his widow and the orphaned children, one of whom was physically challenged and needed a lot of care. They succeeded to usurp their lands.
“Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!” [Qur’an 4:8]
Mr. Mohsen recalls those days: “The hardship we had was unimaginable and heart breaking. It was difficult to have food on the table; we were reduced to eat the bread crumbs of our cousins.”
How cruel mankind can be!
He further adds: “With the grace Allah, we survived and have our land back after twenty years of trial in courts, a much delayed justice. We have no desire for any revenge, though. My mother has brought us up to believe in Allah, has taught us to fear Him, and has always urged us to support the orphaned.”
The harsh experiences and hardships he has suffered from and his mother’s unwavering faith has been the inspiring force for the founder of this great project.
The Chairman’s Pledge
People ask me, “How did you ever get involved in this work?” So here goes what has brought me to launch and work for the SmileOrphan project. I was only 12 when my father passed away. With four daughters and three sons, all young, my mother faced great hardships at the hands of the ruthless society. I know what orphanhood means. It is the extreme of helplessness. I know what orphaned children feel. I do also know what an orphan feels when he faces the harsh realities as a result of the ruthlessness and corrupt practices of the society. With a strong desire to help the orphans and put a smile on their face again, I have decided to put all my scattered efforts together and also to create an opportunity for those willing to help the needy to find an easy way for the help to reach the needy orphans.
The people who love Allah and His messenger and whom Allah has gifted are always eager to help and have no less love for his creation. I have committed myself and my resources to make absolutely sure that all the donations will directly benefit the orphaned, the widowed, and the needy. Not the least part of the donations will be spent on the administration, office management or event organization. All the cost of running this prophet, offices, equipments, staff, computers, printing, etc. will be met by myself and not, in any case, by donors’ money. |
