for ages i have felt hard hearted, and the only thing i know which can greatly help is:
When a man complained to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) of having a hard heart, the Prophet said: "Stroke orphans' heads and feed the poor."
Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1295
------------------------------------
A man once came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu`alaihiwasallam, and complained that he feels hardness in his heart. The Messenger of Allah said, what translated means, "Would you like that your heart becomes soft and that you acquire what you need? Be merciful with the orphan, pat his head and feed him from what you eat. This will soften your heart, and enable you to get what you need."
[At-Tabaraanee & As-Silsilah as-Saheehah]
but im asking where can one find orphans and physically go to distribute food amongst the poor here in london?
all input will be greatly appreciated

do you like to bring up like your very own doll house
your very own dolly doing your very own game
very nice call it barbyn-nessa
orphange and mardrasa
not a doll house, they're kids and it's not a game. Anyway I'd like to call it FiSabeelillah or something cos i'd be raising them in the path of Allah Insha'Allah.
And sis Rose_Ice's advice is really helpfull Insha'Allah, especially if you understand what you are reciting
wassalam
Oh Mankind! What keeps you from your Lord most Generous?
There is no Hand but the Hand of Allah is over it, and
There is no Opressor but he is tried with a Greater Opression.
yes I get that, but I am sure all orphans in an orphange would be bought up 'lovingly' Insha'Allah.
And I know the level of satisfaction varies, but I was merely suggesting something a little more practical and in my opinion beneficial.
For example, new masjids are always being built whilst old ones are only half full. Although orphanages may already be full, making a new one may not be as beneficial as helping one that is already established.
*sigh* u know ur right sis. I'd need one big sum on money to start my own lol! but there's no harm in trying with patience insha'Allah, maybe to do both...
