Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of the $iijis in the Matter of Not<br />

having Children<br />

Abu Sulayman al-DaranI said: "He who seeks having children is<br />

stupid. A child distracts from worldly things such as eating, sleeping<br />

or mating. A child also distracts from performing religious rituals."<br />

This is a great error. Allah wanted mankind to continue to exist<br />

on earth. But the lifespan of each human is too short, so Allah gave<br />

us the desire to mate and breed. He also encouraged humans to<br />

breed:<br />

"And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous."<br />

[al-Nlir (24): 32]<br />

All of the Prophets (alayhum-sakim) sought after having children:<br />

and<br />

"My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed,<br />

You are the Hearer of supplication."<br />

[Ai-'lmrtin (3): 38]<br />

"My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many]<br />

from my descendants, our Lord, accept my supplication."<br />

[Ibrahim (14): 40]<br />
