Adeel Bhai has explained it the best. OP please, Talk to a religious leader, imam-e-Masjid of your respective area, if you need help in this regard, its a very serious matter. Many New Age Discos here are suggesting Edhi Home new born babies, left outside their agency in Panghoora (Cribs), would all of you suggesting this and other 2013 ideas, would do the same if you were in this situation, now think about it first. Agree we should give donation and save a life. Edhi Sahib and his institution are doing a great thing by saving human babies, but if our society followed Islam properly, most of those babies would not be left, or thrown in garbage, most likely the children of New Age Discos, who were having too much fun with their raging hormones and stupid girls falling for those guys, thinking they would marry them later on. Most Guys do not marry such girls, that are so easy to get, they use them and throw them like garbage, and girl has to live her entire life in shame and no one would marry her, and after pregnancy, most like deposit her baby in Edhi's Panghoora/crib, for others to take care of her Najaaez Aulaad. May Allah (SWT), forgive any mistake, and give us all some true guidance. For adoption, please contact Some Religious Leader, relatives, or go in poor areas, Kaam walay loag, ask them, if they personally know anyone who can give a kid of their own a good home, and take care of that family too, give them some job, if you can afford it. Double Sawaab. East or West, Islam is the best. I am a US citizen and have lived in US most of my life, and know for fact, Islam is perfect way of life, many new Converts to Islam, are very highly educated Americans, that have researched Islam, for years before accepting it as true way of life. I have seen many Americans, taking Oath of Islam Kalama Shahada, from Imam-e-Masjid (which in America wear Suit and Tie, by the way and are highly educated, some are Doctors and Engineers by profession and take role of Imam-e-Masjid, during Friday Salaat), I have seen both Men and Women, after almost every Friday Salaat, right here in USA, accepting Islam. The topic would get too complex so I would leave it here. This info is for the New Age Disco, who thinks this is 2013 and Islam is not compatible with this Disco's feelings and ideas. Islam is perfectly compatible for any Age, Race, Religion, Nation, and time will continue to be, Insha-Allah. May Allah (SWT), truly give us tofeeq for real Enlightenment, Ameen.
