Exodus 2:9-10 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me. And I will pay you.”  So the woman took the child and nursed him. The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter. And he became her son. She gave him the name Moses, saying, “Because I took him out of the water.”

James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Qur’an. 2. 83. …Treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practice regular charity.

O God, guide me, protect me, make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
