    📖 Commentary of Surah An-Nisa – Verse 9

    "And let those (executors and guardians) fear [28] as if they had left behind weak offspring and feared for them. So let them fear Allah and speak a righteous word [29]."

    ✅ Guardians Must Empathize with the Orphans [28]

    The guardians and legal counselors of orphans under their care should remember to treat these orphans as if they were their own children.

    • They should ask themselves:
      "If I had left behind weak children, how would I want others to treat them?"

    • This verse provides excellent moral instruction:

      Always do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
      Desire for others what you desire for yourself.

    This principle builds a foundation of justice, compassion, and genuine care in guardianship.

    ✅ Speak Righteous Words & Counsel Properly [29]

    By "speak to them upright speech" it means:

    • Whoever sits by a dying person should:

      • Speak good words to them

      • Encourage charity,

      • Advise them to make a good will,

      • Emphasize the virtue of leaving a rightful legacy for their children

      • And at the moment of death, recite the Kalimah Tayyibah loudly

    Also, straight talk with orphans means that:

    • The guardian or counselor should:

      • Treat the orphan with kindness

      • Give them the best education

      • Train them for employment and independence

    In short: Treat the orphans exactly as you would treat your own children—with love, dignity, and long-term care in mind.
