“I and the custodian of an orphan are like this in Paradise.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sahih al-Bukhari)

He said this while joining his index and middle fingers together.

Imagine being a child on the morning of Eid. Everyone around you is excited. Neighbours are dressed in new clothes. Friends are showing off their gifts. The smell of food fills every home on the street.

Imagine being that same child, but without parents. There is no one to buy you new clothes for Eid, no loving hand to slip Eidi into yours, and no warm smile waiting when you wake up in the morning. Instead of excitement and celebration, the day begins quietly, without the joy that most children feel on such a special occasion. For many orphaned children, Eid passes like any other day—without gifts, without family, and without the happiness every child deserves.

For millions of orphaned children across Bangladesh, Pakistan, Gaza, Nigeria and beyond, this is not imagination. This is Eid.

You have the power to change that.

What Is an Eid Gift Pack?

An Eid Gift Pack is a carefully prepared collection of items designed to make a vulnerable child feel loved, celebrated and valued during Eid just like every other child deserves to feel.

At Al Firdous, we believe that every child regardless of whether they have parents should wake up on Eid morning with a smile on their face and a gift in their hands.

Our Eid Gift Packs are delivered directly to orphaned children and children from the most vulnerable families in our project countries. Every single item is chosen with care and every penny of your donation reaches the child it is intended for thanks to our unwavering 100% donation policy.

What Does an Al Firdous Eid Gift Pack Contain?

Each gift pack is tailored to the needs of children in the country it is sent to. Typical contents include:

• A new set of Eid clothes
• School bag or stationery supplies
• Sweets and Eid treats
• A small toy or book
• Personal care items

These are not luxuries. For a child who has lost one or both parents and lives in poverty, receiving a gift pack on Eid is often the only moment in the entire year that feels truly celebratory. It tells them: someone out there cares about you.

Why Orphans Need Your Support Especially at Eid

Eid is one of the most family-centred celebrations in Islam. It is a time of togetherness, of gathering, of giving and receiving. For children who have lost their parents, this togetherness is precisely what is missing.

Orphaned children often experience Eid as a painful reminder of their loss. While their friends celebrate with families, they are reminded of what they do not have.

The psychological impact of feeling forgotten or left out during celebrations like Eid can be profound and long-lasting. Studies in child welfare consistently show that moments of joy and inclusion during childhood have a significant positive effect on emotional development, confidence and resilience.

Something as simple as an Eid gift pack sends a powerful message to a child: you are not forgotten. You are loved. You matter.

Where Al Firdous Delivers Eid Gift Packs

Al Firdous works directly on the ground in communities where orphaned and vulnerable children are most in need. Our Eid Gift Packs are currently distributed in:

Bangladesh — One of the most densely populated countries in the world, where millions of children live in poverty, many without one or both parents due to illness, natural disaster or extreme hardship.

Pakistan — With a large orphan population and widespread poverty, thousands of children in Pakistan will not receive a single Eid gift without the support of donors like you.

Gaza / Palestine — The ongoing crisis in Gaza has left an unimaginable number of children orphaned. Many have lost not only their parents but their homes, schools and communities. Your Eid gift pack is a moment of light in unimaginable darkness.

Nigeria — In Northern Nigeria particularly, children from vulnerable families face extreme poverty. An Eid gift pack provides not only joy but practical items like school supplies that can change a child’s future.

Every one of these countries is a place where Al Firdous has established trusted, on-the-ground partnerships to ensure your donation is delivered safely, directly and with full accountability.

The Islamic Reward of Caring for an Orphan

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was himself an orphan. He lost his father before he was born and his mother at just six years old. His care, compassion and profound understanding of the orphan’s heart is woven throughout his teachings.

The Quran repeatedly places the care of orphans alongside the greatest acts of worship:

“And they give food, despite their love for it, to the poor, the orphan and the captive.” — Surah Al-Insan (76:8)

“Have you seen the one who denies the religion? That is the one who drives away the orphan.” — Surah Al-Maun (107:1-2)

Giving to an orphan during Eid is not simply a kind gesture. It is an act of deep spiritual significance. Every smile you bring to an orphaned child’s face on Eid morning is a deed recorded for you by Allah — and what a beautiful deed to have recorded.
