Reaction on Results of Family

planning:

England: After 1st W.W made “National Birth Rate

Commission”

23 top class researchers of education , sociology, economics, statistics and religion was the part of this commission

Report theme was :

“England should take a notice of low fertility rate and should try to increase fertility rate to maximum level. If this decrease in fertility couldn't stop than England will become the power of Grade 4 in the world. ”

Conti ……

Suggestions of Commission:

1. Allounce should given to the families with

respect to children

2. Tax rates should low for marital couple

3. Different schemes should start for increase in

fertility rates

4. Artificial insemination methods should use to

increase the population

France:

French government launched a movement of

“National alliance for the increase of

population”

Banned the education of birth control methods

Dozens of rules made for increase in

population

E.g. medals were awarded to those couples

having more than 12 children

Between 1938 to 1954 increase in population

was 26 %

Germany:

“If our ratio of birth decreased day by day than there is a fear that our nation will disappeared ”

Marriage loans given to the unmarried people

Italy: Banned the birth control methods

Sweden: In 1935 made a commission to suggest the

methods to increase the fertility rate

Amazingly

Our government is running the

family

planning program with the help of

Sweden

Islamic point of viewALLAH says in Quran

هم كان نرزقهم وإياكم إن قتل ول تقتلوا أولدكم خشية إملق نحن خطئا كبيرا

“Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you: verily the killing of them is a great sin”.

(Surah Bani Israel 17:31)

﴾20:50﴿دىقال ربنا الذي أعطى كل شيء خلقه ثم ه

“Our Lord is He who has given a distinctive form

to everything and then guided it aright.”

(Surah Ta’ha 50)

ل يهدي القوم إن الل ن اتبع هواه بغير هدى من الل ومن أضل مم﴾28:50الظالمين﴿

“And who could go farther astray than the one who

follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allah ?

Allah does not at all guide such wicked people.”

(Surah al-qasas 50)

(65:1) ف ه ومن يتعد حدود الل قد ظلم ن

And he who transgresses the bounds set by

Allah commits a wrong against himself.

(Surah al-talaq 1)

ها بغ ر الذين قتلوا أولدهم قد خ موا ما رزقهم الل ير علم وحر قد ضلوا وما كانوا مهت ﴾6:140﴿دين افتراء على الل

Those who slayed their children in folly, without

Knowledge, and forbade the sustenance that Allah has

provided them, falsely ascribing that to Allah, are utter

losers; they have gone astray, and are certainly not

among those guided to the right way.

(Surah al-inaam 140)

(4:119) يرن خلق الل ولمرنهم فليغ

And they will disfigure Allah's

creation.

(Surah al-nisa 119)

135 people per square mile, it means near

about 5 Acer per person. (1 football ground

have 1.5 Acer) 3.3 football grounds per

person.

2. Only 28% land is arable

3. Production can increase 10 times by using

scientific techniques to the whole world
