A Muslim Bangladeshi-American's account of teaching English in a Catholic school in Ramallah, Palestine (short reflections) (except for the ones that are really long)
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Was an Orphan Who Adopted the World
...so why is adoption in modern muslim era such a huge, complicated issue? why is it not a noble deed? is it a noble deed? do you know of any muslims who are pro-adoption or who have adopted?
I've known Palestinians to adopt, but they weren't Muslim. My grandfather and his brother have adopted children, one of them being my mother. I think adoption is hard for anyone irregardless of religion. It is a scary thing, adopted children don't have that instant bond with parents that biological children may have.
My parents have very mixed views on adoption. Adoption of a girl that is not your blood is difficult because of when she comes of age. Adoption of a boy is difficult because of your blood daughters you may have. I, personally, do not understand the nuances and difficulties associated with adoption in the religious/Muslim sense.
i'm pro-adoption and will adopt someday. :D
