As a matter of fact, all divine religions order fathering and sustaining orphans and warn people against mistreating them. According to these religions, severe punishment is administered to those abusing orphans.
The Old Testament tells us that God is a father to the orphans. We read the following verse: “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” (Psalm 68:5)
The Old Testament also tells us that God watches over and sustains the orphans. We read the following verse: “The Lord watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.” (Psalm 146:9)
The Old Testament orders defending the cause of the orphans. We read the following verse: “Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.” (Psalm 82:3)
Also, the Old Testament tells us that if an orphan is mistreated and he cries out to God, His wrath burns and God will then kill the oppressor and render his wife a widow and his children fatherless.
In the Old Testament, we read the following verses: “You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.” (Exodus 22:22-24)
The New Testament calls for looking after orphans. We read the following verse: ” Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James 1:27)
The Qur’an states that one of the descriptions of the righteous people who will be admitted to Paradise is giving food to the orphans for the sake of God. In the Qur’an, we read the following verses:
