[b:54919e6bf6]“If the people of the towns had but believe and feared God, we should indeed have opened out to them (all kinds of) blessing from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth), and we brought them to book for their misdeeds.” (Quran 6:96)[/color:54919e6bf6][/b:54919e6bf6]As Salam a`alaman itaba`alhoda

Hi peace just ponder on this verse. I think it explains a lot. Let me know your feedback. We can discuss more. Of course I am ready as always to provide answers by the close guidance of Allah

[AbuNoran]

As-salaam Alla maan etba'a Al-Hoda,

Reported by Abu Dawud:

Book 005, Hadith Number 2045.

------------------------------

Chapter : Not known.

Narated By Ma'qil ibn Yasar : A man came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: I have found a woman of rank and beauty, [u:69d6b4303f]but she does not give birth to children[/u:69d6b4303f]. [b:69d6b4303f]Should I marry her[/b:69d6b4303f]? He said: [u:69d6b4303f]No[/u:69d6b4303f]. He came again to him, but he prohibited him. He came to him third time, and he (the Prophet) said: [u:69d6b4303f][b:69d6b4303f]Marry women who are loving and very prolific, for I shall outnumber the peoples by you[/b:69d6b4303f][/u:69d6b4303f].[/color:69d6b4303f]

[Ali]

While the jews, and other races are concerned about their numbers, they want to limit muslim birth by introducing Birth control etc.

[AbuNoran]

Each of the jewish family have 7 childern trying to over populate themselves.

Not sure why 7, it must be something in the Tawrah has instructs them to do so. :roll:

[Muslimah]

Muslimah, you mentioned that people shan't use contraception out of fear of poverty because Allah sustains. Would it be permissable to use contraception to preserve a high quality of life? For example, if a country is flooded with children, the environment will take a blow, the economy will suffer, and disease will spread more quickly unless the country can muster up enough resources to care for all the children and their parents.[/quote:6a0d04f689]Hi peace did u ponder on the verse. I exactly know what u mean and trying to discuss this specific point.

Well I will give u a worldly example.

See two of Allah's 99 Names and Attributes are "Baset: One Who extends" and "Qabed: One who contracts". Now earth being part of His creation, withing the ability of those two Names for example Muslims during haj (pilgrimage) are able to all gather in the same area every year regardless of the number which increases every year. No matter, 1.5, 1.9, 1.4 million are able every year to gather in the same spot (Mina and A`araft). You think Allah Is not capable of extending the land to accomodate the increasing number who are all compelled to stay in this place for about 4 days. He Sure Is more than Capable. He Sat the Haj rules, He Has to make it easy and possible for His servant. Did I explain this clear enough? well another example. A personal one. Three years ago, on a Sat morning my uncle passed away. Next Sat my 3.5 (now) year old nephew was born. See He Knows how to Manage His kingdom Peace. He sure Does.

let me know if this is clear enough.

We can say more
