Al Anam

HR Background

قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَتَلُـوْۤااَوْلَادَهُمْ سَفَهًۢا بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّ حَرَّمُوْا مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ افْتِرَآءً عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-قَدْ ضَلُّوْا وَ مَا كَانُوْا مُهْتَدِیْنَ(140)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, ruined are those[1] who foolishly kill their children in ignorance, and declare forbidden the sustenance which Allah has granted them, ascribing a lie to Allah. Indeed, they have gone astray and they are not guided.

Commentary

[1]

Children are a great blessing from Allah Almighty. Killing them incurs destruction in this world and the Hereafter. To condone such heartlessness and brutality in respect of beloved children is extreme ignorance and foolishness.
