"FAMILY PLANNING"

The whole system of inception and birth in human beings, sequence wise, is very much said in 23/12 to 14, fourteen hundred years back when no body even knew the sequence. Modern science came to know it now and got the credit. Unfortunately we Muslims are also ignorant of the verses of Holy Qur'an. The verse is:

"Indeed, WE Created man out of essence of clay, and then WE cause him to remain as a drop of sperm in (mother's) firm keeping, and then WE Create out of the drop of sperm a germ-cell (zygote), and then WE Create out of the germ-cell (zygote) an embryonic lump, and then WE Create within the embryonic lump bones, and then WE Clothe the bones with flesh - and then WE Bring all this into being a new-creation: Blessed is ALLAH The Best Artisan." (23/12 to 14)

(From Holy Qur'an 23/12-14)
Some more information from the Holy Book while world came to know this now. It is from 39/6

"..... ALLAH Creates you in your mother's wombs, one act of creation after another, in threefold depths of darkness ...."

(From Holy Qur'an 39/6)

From where this sperm travels in the body of male was not known till the science discovered it now. But it was also said long before in the Holy Qur'an in 86/5 to 7:

"So man should observe out of what he has been created. Created out of a seminal fluid issuing from between the loins (between back-bone and ribs of male) and the pelvic arch."

(From Holy Qur'an 86/5-7)

Further, please note that the sperm in itself has also its life, but process of creation in the shape of child can not start from it alone. In a drop of semen, there may be sperms from 60 thousand to 2 lacs. But only one out of these is destined by ALLAH to be mingled with the egg of mother, the process is called fusion and it becomes the first live and complete cell and starts moving and multiplying. After some stages of development, it is called zygote in medical terms. And this zygote enters the uterus and called embryo in medical terms and the process of child development continues. Then after about six to nine months of pregnancy, the mother delivers the child. Also note that after about four months of pregnancy, the mother can feel the movements of the child in her womb. Probably here the religious heads and scholars are confused and allow the abortion within 4 months of the pregnancy assuming that now there is life in it. By the Holy Qur'an and modern medical science, it is very much clear that the life is destined by ALLAH when the sperm from father mingles with the egg of the mother. Hence abortion can be called "Killing of Child" from day one.

There is no specific instruction about keeping distance in between children but one can see an ideal situation in Chapter 31 Verse 14:

"WE had enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents: his mother bore him bearing strain upon strain, and his utter dependence and nursing by his mother lasted for two years ….. "

(From Holy Qur'an 31/14)

The compilers tried their best with the help of their LORD and mentioned the references. All the readers are requested to cross check all these verses and Ahadees before taking any decision. After all, every person is responsible for his own acts and deeds and none can put the onus on other on the Day of Final Judgment.
