Rabia Z.
Fashion Designer & Entrepreneur
Save An Orphan Ambassador
"As a Muslim, orphans have a very special place in my heart. Orphans have been mentioned by Allah (swt) in the Holy Qur'an numerous times and I feel that it is
our moral duty to ensure that the poor, neglected orphans are looked after.
One of the first things I learned about Islam is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was an orphan himself and he continually urged the Muslim Ummah to be kind and just
towards orphans, this lesson has had a lasting impact upon me, that is why I would like to pledge my support for Save An Orphan and the outstanding work they do for orphans.
I have seen the appalling suffering and tragedies faced by orphans around the world and would like to do my part to help them as much as I can. I can't praise
Save An Orphan enough for their efforts, they have spoken out on behalf of all those who have been shunned by society, and have given them hope for a brighter future.
My company, Rabia Z., has seen rapid growth, this is entirely from the Grace of Allah and it is only fitting that I give something back to those who need it most,
that is why I have decided to give a percentage of our sales to Save An Orphan in the hope that I can make a difference and contribute to a cause for the greater good in this
world, God Willing.
I know I cannot change the world on my own, but by supporting Save an Orphan at least I can have inner peace, safe in the knowledge that Save an Orphan will do
all that they can to improve the lives of orphans with the money and support that I give.”
