Lost in His Own World, by Shahnaz Parvin

When I took his photograph, it seemed he was lost in his own world, leaving behind the life he lives in orphanage. May be he was trying to forget the straggle they face in the orphanage every day. Most of them are between 2 to 9 years of age. Do you know they only have one or two cloths to wear? And when there is not enough food for all, they have to ask the community to help them, going door to door to collect rice. Back home they do not have parents; their relatives sent them here and barely ever call, or take them back. I was invited to their little world by their teachers to see how they live. Their teachers are just like them, elders from this same orphanage. In the so called secular society, they are neglected, not because they are orphan but because of what they study, Quran and Islamic teaching. People only recall them when someone in the family die, or need to study Quran! Have you ever thought for a moment, and realized that these orphans around you in your own community are actually a test for you from Almighty Allah. And if our modern education influences us to neglect these orphans, for what they are learning, then sooner or later people would know the truth, and questioned this secular ideology, so would our future generation.
