Among others I visited before this orphanage visit is a wake up call for me to reflect on.
Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like
this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate. Source:
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5659
I think the hadith
already explain how important taking care of orphans is, I mean I am 24 and I
can’t comprehend myself to imagine how empty and sad it will be without my
parents. Orphanage has a very special place within me, I feel calm and relieved
every time I spend time in such place, condition later I found to be
physiologic as doing good deeds actually have rewarding effect on our brain.
Despite its
brain-rewarding effect it is crucial you see, to do the good deeds no matter
how tight and packed your schedule is as by doing that we are actually
investing for our after life and in some sense it gives us meaning and the
feeling of being useful for others that can motivate us to do even better in
our job, families and friends life in general. But often times we
subconsciously not doing what what we are suppose to.
About the plan itself
it is actually a plan came to thought after UKMPPD result announcement and
supposedly serve as a way of being grateful for the result but then as all
human being in the world I got caught between things (which I can not remember
what hahaha) that the realization took three months later.
Other than being so
heart-warming this made me think on what on earth really did I do that I
actually have "no time" to visit these beautiful little angels or do
other good deeds? Why am I so self-absorbed that my life revolves only around
myself and the daily routines?
I came up with
answers to that but having lack of time at one time and lack of money on the
other is actually an honest answer, truly, but then to this answers I also
found the solution if I later encounter one of the problem (if not both hahaha)
and it is by crowd-sourcing. It is a simple impactful thing because say you are
broke (something commonly happen to us fresh-graduated millennials haha) but
wanted to help we can actually offer help to bridging the kindness and being
the middleman to collect the fund, buy donation items and arrange the visit or
if you are in better financial condition but having little time you can
actually look out for those who are in the first condition and offer if you can
help by donate since in both situation we contribute in magnifying kindness.
This kind of
crowdfunding is common nowadays and I believe that kindness can be
multiplied. Before this sometimes I went to the orphanage alone taking my time
for the downward comparison we all need to keep ourselves grateful. Other times
I went with friends as a group and in comparison I think the later spreads more
happiness and giving greater impact for it is both a good way to spend times
with friends and give back to those in need.
All in all, I want to
thank everyone showing support for this visit and I am utterly grateful and
blessed for it. May Allah repays back for the help that you give.
