About This Quote

The Koran teaches that Muslims should be concerned for widows, orphans, and refugees. This goes back to the example of Abraham being concerned for the widow of his son. The Koran says that the only way to get closer to God is to do good deeds. Doing good deeds is also a way to get closer to one's community. Doing good deeds is also a way to get closer to Allah himself, which is what widows, orphans, and refugees are all about.
