Dear firaslion,
Hope everything is well with you and your family at your end as it is here. Interesting topic brother I would like to give my presentation on it!
All the various reasons for family planning can be divided into two categories:
1. Either for poverty or
2. Giving special attention to children by having fewer children.
As for those who are poor and fear that they will not be able to meet the economic expenses of the additional child, Allah (SWT) has prescribed the system of zakaat. Every rich person who has the savings of more than the nisab level i.e. 85 gms of gold, should give 2.5% of his excess wealth every lunar year in charity. Those who are poor have the right to take the zakaat money.
Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an Surah Al-Anaam chapter 6 verse 151 “...Kill not your children on a plea of want; We provide sustenance for you and for them;”
Allah (SWT) also mentions in the Qur’an Surah Al-Isra chapter 17 verse 31 “Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you: verily the killing of them is a great sin.”
Both these verses seems to convey the same message but on scrutiny we realize that the first verse is meant for poor parents, who fear that if one more child is born in the family neither they will be able to survive nor the child, thus Allah (SWT) says we provide sustenance for you and for them. In the other verse Allah (SWT) says We shall provide sustenance for them and as well as for you, referring to rich parents who feel that if they have less children they can concentrate on them better and give them better education and quality life. Here Allah (SWT) reverses the order and mentions first the children and then the parents.
I am the third child of my parents. If my parents would have done family planning, then I would not have been born. Alhumdulillah, I have qualified and become a daee’. Am I a boon or a bane to the society?
TO BE CONTINUED…….
However, its worth notable that one never knows which child could be a blessing from the Creator for the family. It is quite possible that the child, which the parents anticipate to be a bane, may turn out to be a boon for the family and the society. History bears witness to the fact that many of the great scientists, thinkers, and revolutionaries were not from only amongst the first two children of their parents.
Thus the child whom the parents consider unwanted may be a blessing to the family religiously and economically.
With regards to the claim of the people who say that the growth in population increases poverty, this was mainly based on Malthusian’s theory. This theory states that, to maintain prosperity and welfare of human race, its increase should be checked to correspond with the production of foodstuff.
But now we have realized that Malthusian’s theory has been proved wrong and there is no shortage of food grains. Moreover, in spite of the amount of land India uses in agriculture, there is still much more land in India, which can, with little more efforts in fertilizing it through the proper means be utilized in agriculture thus producing more food grains. It would be interesting to note that population density of Holland and Denmark is about four to five times more than that of India. Nevertheless the living conditions of the people there is far better off (economically) than the Indians.
Besides, even if one faces difficulties in upbringing of children, one should always remember that in these hardships could be a test from Allah as this life is a test for the hereafter. Allah says in the Al Qur’an Surah Al-Mulk chapter 67 verse 2 “He Who created Death and Life that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might Oft-Forgiving”
Allah also says in Al Qur’an Surah Baqara chapter 2 verse 155 “Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.”
Allah (SWT) says in Al-Qur’an Surah Al Imran chapter 3 verse 54 “And they plotted and planned and Allah too planned and the best of planners is Allah (SWT)”
If you feel you can plan the family better, the choice is yours or else leave it to Allah (SWT) to do the best planning for your family.
Allah knows the best.
