Orphaned students, do they cry every night expecting affection from their parents who have passed away?

In my heart I wondered, Oh God how is their life, do they cry every night expecting affection from their parents who have passed away?

On Thursday, October 17, 2024 we held a maulid celebration of the Prophet Muhammad, this year's maulid celebration raised the theme "Exemplifying the morals of the Prophet in achieving achievements."

There are several important lessons that I can take in this year's maulid activities, especially about emulating the morals of the Prophet Muhammad.

As we know that the Prophet Muhammad SAW is a role model for all Muslims in the world, since childhood he has been an orphan. Of course since childhood living without ever feeling the love directly from the father and mother is a very tough life experiment for children.

You can close your eyes and imagine what if such a life happened to you? Who would take care of you? Who would raise you? When you want this and that who will make it happen?

God didn't give us such a tough ordeal, when we were little we could still feel the love of our parents, if we wanted something we just needed to cry in front of our parents and everything could be realized. What a beautiful life we had in our childhood, right?

But we need to realize and feel how bitter the lives of children who have been orphaned since childhood. So that we should give attention and affection to them, because if not us then who else? In Islam, caring for orphans and orphans is an obligation that is worth the reward.

Indeed being orphaned since childhood is a very heavy test that Allah SWT has given to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, but even so he still grew up to be the best human being on earth and became a role model for all mankind.

Therefore, in the activities of celebrating the maulid of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, we at school pay special attention to students who are orphans and orphans. The special attention is like giving them food, wrapping several food packages, and handing over cash.

There are 19 students recorded, 15 students are orphans and 4 students are orphans. We hope that by paying attention to orphans, Allah SWT will help us teachers, facilitate all our affairs both in this world and in the hereafter, and bestow his mercy and grace on us all. Amin ya robbal alamin.

Honestly, when I saw the faces of the orphans in front of me, their faces seemed to shine like moonlight that adorned the night, looking at their faces made me want to shed tears.

In my heart I wondered, Oh God how is their life, do they cry every night expecting affection from their parents who have passed away? do they live happily without suffering? when they see other people's children enjoying good food they only swallow saliva and tears?

Oh God, their life is very difficult so please make it easy for them, their life is harder than what I have ever felt when I was a child so please lighten their every step. Protect them and make them always smile happily.
