Abstract :

Abstract The human element comprises the most important bases of civilization and the ability to exploit the world resources. It has become obvious that colonial forces are attempting to repress the causes of development that w have by using various methods including the continuous attempts to reduce reproduction. Each general call to control birth contributes to achieve the most dangerous colonial conspiracy that aims at attracting the movement of the Arab and Islamic world backwards to remain under-developed. Therefore, birth control should not be taken as a general law that must be applied and put in effect whether in small or large countries. The principles and fundamentals of Islam prohibit and despise this call for birth control since it is an intruder to Islam. It is sufficient to remember what Allah says in the Holy Quran, "Allah has created from yourselves wives and granted you with children and grand children, and supplied you with delicacies; how should they believe in the untrue and disbelieve in the grace of Allah?" (Sourat al-Nahl, Verse 72). However, birth organization is not prohibited for certain reasons. For example in case of completing breast feeding, or if a Muslim physician advises to limit a period during which a woman cannot be pregnant for a legitimate reason such as the woman who cannot give birth without caesarean operation. This is based upon the evidence that permit isolation and the doings of the Prophet's apostles. Carriage should be prohibited when vital damage is certain to occur for the mother if there is a good reason to believe that her life is in danger by a medical report issued by a trustworthy Muslim physician. Finally, I hope that I have succeeded in this research, and I implore Allah to add it to my good deeds in the Day of Judgment.
