Royal Rickshaw

A Dubai brand founded by Rajiv Nihalani, Royal Rickshaw is a luxury resort label, known for creating beach-to-the-red-carpet kaftans with Swarovski crystal detailing and immaculate craftsmanship.Since 2006, the brand has and remains to create exquisite kaftans, kaftan dresses, tunics, tops, day dresses and evening dresses- which are in many ways, wardrobe staples for Khaleeji fashionistas.Don't expect a budget-friendly price tag, though, for these kaftans start retailing from upwards of $1,000 US dollars which is not something i could afford for even a VERY special event.

Sponsoring An Orphan



The sponsoring and care of orphans is an action much loved by Allah Most High and encourage strongly both in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of our beloved Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. It was the practice of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to look after orphans and he had a deep love and concern for them. And remember he himself, may Allah bless him and grant his peace, was an orphan.


Allah Most High says in the Qur’an, "So as for the orphans, do not oppress them, and as for beggars, do not berate them," (93:9-10) and the Almighty says, "Have you seen him who denies the deen? He is the one who harshly rebuffs the orphan and does not urge the feeding of the poor." (107:1-3)

And in the sound hadiths, Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well treated. The worst house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are ill treated. I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden like that," indicating his two fingers.

Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I and those who care for orphans will be in the Garden like this," and he pointed with his forefinger and middle finger and made an opening between them." [al-Bukhari]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I and an orphan's guardian, whether he is a relative or a non-relative, will be like these two in the Garden," and the transmitter, Malik ibn Anas, indicated the index and middle fingers. [Muslim]

It is clear from these ayahs and hadith, the concern and care for the orphans is the sign of a true believer and the reward for such a person is to be the close companion of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in

Another aspect to keep in mind is the promise of Allah Most High to those who do good and specifically by helping fellow Muslims. Allah Almighty says, "Do good so that hopefully you will be successful." (22:76)

And in the hadith, Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim. He should not wrong him nor surrender him to his enemy. Allah will take care of the needs of anyone who takes care of the needs of his brother. On the Day of Rising Allah will dispel the anxiety of anyone who dispels the anxiety of another Muslim. On the Day of Rising Allah will veil anyone who veils another Muslim." [Agreed upon]

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah will relieve anyone who relieves a believer of one of the afflictions of this world, of one of the afflictions of the Day of Rising. Allah will give ease in this world and the Next to anyone who eases the hardship of another. Allah will veil anyone who veils another Muslim in this world and the Next. Allah will help His slave as long as His slave is helping his brother." [Muslim]

Many of the Muslim relief agencies have orphan sponsoring programs alhamdulillah. One such reliable agency is Islamic Relief. If you click on the link below you will find more information on their programs.
