    The Noble Qur'an Al-Israa 1731

    And kill not your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you. Surely, the killing of them is a great sin.

    The Noble Qur'an Al-An'aam 6151

    Say (O Muhammad SAW) "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Faw?hish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom All?h has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Isl?mic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand.

    How about all those thousends of children who go hungry , where the hell is their providance, or is the explanation or translation not correct?

    hmm

      Peace 357,

      I always wondered about this as well. I don't have any answers though. It's just something that I think about all the time.

        Barak allah fik wallah that is a good question....................... a better question is why the hell kills their children for poverty... confused

        99% of all parents would rather starve themselves to death so their children can eat instead of killing their children so they themselves can eat ..... mesh keda ya mo3alem confused

            Thanks for the posts,

            Say (O Muhammad SAW) "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Faw?hish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom All?h has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Isl?mic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand.

            If we look at the ayah the reciter is saying "we" whilst the Lord is "He" , So the Prophet or the reciter is saying - like i suppose in england the prime minister would/ could say, "we will provide sutenance for you and them"

            what do you think? I think it may well be in the translation.

              I see many traditional Muslim woman having large families despite their financial, health and employment situations or alternatively despite the parents handing their children over to nannies to raise them. The verse about God providing for children was quoted to me when I questioned the moral responsibility of this. My thoughts are, that God give us the intelligence, knowledge and self control to avoid pregnancy and plan our families wisely.

                Why are you acting as if Allah providing for us and us earning a living are mutually exclusive?

                  Peace,

                  There are many dynamics involved that effect provisions. If one would take the Quran
                  as truth, the questions would become;

                  God provides enough food for everybody, so why is there not enough to go around?

                    ".......your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them;..."

                    We come across stories all the time people killing or selling their children for lack of food...No?

                    So quistion is if Allah said the above then why do people need to do that or why would the millions die because of starvation in africa........

                    I think The "we" isn't Allah but the speaker or reciter - please look at the entire Ayah and see. Allah is referred to as "He" .

                    hmm

                    Just going off topic a little

                    I recall reading that Zakat which used to be collected and sent to all Islamic countries and a lot of it used to come back which was left over.....just so people and their children don't starve , especially during the caliphat of Umar Alai Islam.

                    peace

                      Peace Maybe because some people are greedy and take other people's share (through accumulating wealth, destroying the environment, oppression & war etc). If we all live according to our needs rather than our wants and give what we don't need to others, would there be enough to go around?
