THE FUSS ON ORPHANAGES
My Life at the Orphanages was a wonderful experience and exposure to social services. Altogether, I worked in eleven Orphanages working as a teacher, a Principal and a warden well functioning in Malappuram, Palghat, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod in Kerala. I dined with the orphans and the destitute, played with them, slept (not for sex but as warden to look after them) , My service began in 1980. I still work in such instituttion having more than 1400 inmates
All those Orphanages are owned by a Trust or Society registered under the Registration Acts prevailing in Kerala. They are run by the philanthropists. I have heard of some individually managed institutions are for making money exploiting the generous people. The Corporate managements provide food, accommodation and medical facilities to the inmates and actually they are becoming the true guardian of those helpless folk. There are Home Care Projects too. Under it children below the age of ten are protected with all expenses met by the Orphanages. Later, they are brought to the Orphanages for further study. All of them where I worked are managed by Muslim Organizations to provide the Spiritual and the Material Education to the children of their community mainly. At the schools under aided or unaided schemes children of any community are admitted.
The need of children for service: To continue the work smoothly children are needed. This is also a field of competition among different sects of Muslim Community. So children are brought here in Kerala and protected them from Jammu and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu. As Indians are brothers and sisters regional restrictions are unjustifiable. Among the Muslims of northern States in India there is no spiritual knowledge as in Kerala. So those who are getting aware of it try to send their children here. If brokers make money exploiting this ignorance of the parents it must be blocked instead of blocking children. The more the children, the more will be the programmes of the Orphanages.

The Beloved Prophet
'And the Book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying: 'Read this I pray thee'. And he saith: 'I am not learned.' ' (Isaiah 29: 12) .

The Dome of the Rock was erected by the Muslim ruler Abd el-Malik in 688-691 A.D. It sits where the old Jewish temple mount was. The Roman General Titus destroyed the last Jewish temple around 70 A.D. This mosque is considered very sacred and would cause an international stir and possible war if it were destroyed.
The Jewish people begin to come back to their original homeland and after World War Two and the holocaust became the country of Israel again in 1948 under Jewish rule. They always have wanted to rebuild their temple. The city of Jerusalem went under their control during the six-day war in 1967. Jerusalem is a main point of any peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Everyone dealing with the volatile peace process in the world knows peace in the mid-east involves Jerusalem and the temple mount area.
Solomon’s Temple was the first temple built in Jerusalem and was completed around 953 BC and was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians and burned with fire in 586 BC. Zerubbabel and the returning exiles built the second temple, completing it in 516 BC. This temple was later embellished greatly by King Herod and was the temple Jesus Christ was dedicated in and preached in. Titus and the Romans destroyed this Temple in 70 AD.
Scholars such as Asher Kauffman are now saying Solomon’s original temple and the second temple built by Zerubbabel after the 70 year captivity to Babylon was aligned with the Eastern Gate and the temple was north of the Dome of the Rock mosque.

Answer! The same one whom He gave justification for fate,
There will always be speculation, who set the captives free,
However, neither one of these was given to you or to me.
