What does the Qur'an say about raising children?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 66:6 O ye who believe, WARD OFF FROM YOURSELVES AND YOUR FAMILIES A FIRE whereof the fuel is men and stones, over which are set angels stern and strong. In because it is the only verse making a parent responsible for the household's standing, and because it names the self first.
  2. 02 20:132 AND ENJOIN UPON THY PEOPLE WORSHIP, AND BE CONSTANT THEREIN. WE ASK NOT OF THEE A PROVISION: WE PROVIDE FOR THEE. And the sequel is for righteousness. In because the instruction to enjoin is immediately followed by a removal of the anxiety that usually accompanies it - the provision is not the parent's to secure.
  3. 03 31:17–19 O my dear son, ESTABLISH WORSHIP AND ENJOIN KINDNESS AND FORBID INIQUITY, AND PERSEVERE WHATEVER MAY BEFALL THEE... AND TURN NOT THY CHEEK IN SCORN TOWARD FOLK, NOR WALK WITH PERTNESS IN THE LAND... BE MODEST IN THY BEARING AND SUBDUE THY VOICE. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is the only extended parental instruction in the Qur'an and it moves from worship to conduct to bearing. ALSO CARRIED by the study Who was Luqman, and what did he advise his son?, with a different reason there.
  4. 04 17:31 SLAY NOT YOUR CHILDREN, FEARING A FALL TO POVERTY. WE SHALL PROVIDE FOR THEM AND FOR YOU. Lo, the slaying of them is great sin. In because it is the floor beneath everything else in this study, and because it addresses the fear rather than the act. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about the killing of infant girls? and What does the Qur'an say about the rights of children on their parents?, with different reasons there.
  5. 05 6:151 Say: come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty for you: that ye ascribe nothing as partner unto Him, AND THAT YE DO GOOD TO PARENTS, AND THAT YE SLAY NOT YOUR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF PENURY - WE PROVIDE FOR YOU AND FOR THEM. In because it puts the duty to parents and the prohibition on killing children in one list, which is the two directions of the same relationship. ALSO CARRIED by several earlier studies, with different reasons there.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The Qur'an says very little about child-rearing as such, and what it says arranges itself into three levels.

The floor is survival. 17:31 and 6:151 both prohibit killing children out of poverty, and both answer the FEAR rather than the act: WE SHALL PROVIDE FOR THEM AND FOR YOU. The reasoning is addressed to the calculation a frightened parent is making.

The middle is responsibility. 66:6: WARD OFF FROM YOURSELVES AND YOUR FAMILIES A FIRE. It is the only verse extending a parent's duty to the household's standing, and it names the self first - the order is not accidental.

20:132 gives the same instruction with the anxiety removed: ENJOIN UPON THY PEOPLE WORSHIP, AND BE CONSTANT THEREIN - and then, immediately, WE ASK NOT OF THEE A PROVISION: WE PROVIDE FOR THEE. A parent is told to teach and told not to carry the burden of providing.

The top is content, and for that the Qur'an gives one worked example: Luqman's advice at 31:13-19, of which this page renders the part its verse set carries. It moves from the largest thing - ascribe no partners - through the reach of accounting, to active duties, and then to something no reader expects in a passage of religious instruction: how to walk, how to hold your face, and how loud to speak.

That the one extended parental speech in the Qur'an ends with LOWER YOUR VOICE is worth a reader's attention.

What is absent is everything a modern parent might look for: nothing about schooling, discipline, play, or affection expressed. The material on those is , and no hadith collection has cleared the rights audit.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 66:6, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

31:17 "O biri im! Fale namazin, urdhëroje të mirën, ndaloje të keqen dhe bëhu i durueshëm për çfarëdo që të godet! Kjo është vërtet prej çështjeve vendimtare.

31:18 Mos ua kthe shpinën njerëzve me përbuzje, as mos ec nëpër tokë me kryelartësi, se, me të vërtetë, Allahu nuk e do atë që është mendjemadh e mburravec!

31:19 Ji i matur në ecje dhe ule zërin, se zëri më i shëmtuar është zëri i gomarit!"

31:17 ‘হে আমার প্রিয় বৎস! (পূর্ণভাবে) সালাত কায়িম করো, সৎকাজের আদেশ দাও, অসৎকাজে নিষেধ করো এবং তোমার উপর যে বিপদ আসে তাতে ধৈর্য ধরো। নিশ্চয় এগুলো অন্যতম দৃঢ় সংকল্পের কাজ।’

31:18 ‘আর তুমি (অহংকারবশত ) মানুষের দিক থেকে তোমার মুখ ফিরিয়ে নিও না। আর জমিনে দম্ভভরে চলাফেরা করো না। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ কোনো দাম্ভিক, অহংকারীকে পছন্দ করেন না।’

31:19 ‘আর তোমার চলার ক্ষেত্রে মধ্যপন্থা অবলম্বন করো, তোমার আওয়াজ নীচু করো। নিশ্চয় সবচাইতে নিকৃষ্ট আওয়াজ হলো গাধার আওয়াজ।’

Πράγματι, όλα αυτά είναι από τις υποχρεωτικές πράξεις (που έχει προστάξει ο Αλλάχ, και χρειάζονται σταθερή αποφασιστικότητα).

31:18 Μην αποστρέφεις το πρόσωπό σου από τους ανθρώπους με αλαζονεία, ούτε να περπατάς στη γη με υπερηφάνεια. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ δε συμπαθεί κάθε αλαζονικό που καυχιέται.

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Di’: «Venite, vi dico cosa il vostro Dio vi ha proibito: non paragonate nulla a Lui; siate benevoli verso i genitori; non ammazzate i figli per paura della povertà ﴿وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ مِنْ إِمْلَاقٍ﴾, perché noi provvederemo sostentamento per voi e loro ﴿نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُم﴾, e non avvicinatevi alle nefandezze – sia esteriori che interiori – e non uccidete nessuno se non per giustizia, ciò Allāh lo ha proibito. Questo Lui vi ha raccomandato affinché riflettiate!

151. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ): „Ateikite, aš parecituosiu tai, ką jūsų Viešpats uždraudė jums: nepriskirti nieko garbinime Jam, būti gerais ir paklusniais savo tėvams, nežudyti savo vaikų dėl skurdo – Mes suteikiame prasimaitinimą jums ir jiems, nesiartinti prie Al-Favahiš (gėdingų nuodėmių, neteisėtų lytinių santykių), atliekamų tiek atvirai, tiek slapčiomis, ir nežudyti nieko, ką Allahas uždraudė, išskyrus esant pateisinamai priežasčiai (pagal islamiškąją teisę). Tai Jis įsakė jums, kad jūs suprastumėte.“

Скажи: «Придите, я прочту то, что запретил вам ваш Господь: не придавайте Ему в сотоварищи ничего; и к родителям — добродетельное отношение; и не убивайте своих детей из [страха] бедности — Мы наделяем пропитанием вас и их; и не приближайтесь к мерзостям — ни явным из них, ни скрытым; и не убивайте душу, которую запретил Аллах, иначе как по праву. Это то, что Он завещал вам, — быть может, вы уразумеете.

Sisi tunawaruzuku nyinyi na wao. Wala msikaribie machafu, yaliyo dhahiri yake, na yaliyofichikana yake. Wala msiiue nafsi ambayo Mwenyezi Mungu aliiharamisha isipokuwa kwa haki.

Säg: ”Kom, så ska jag läsa upp vad er Herre har förbjudit: Dyrka ingenting vid hans sida och var goda mot era föräldrar. Döda inte era barn av fruktan för fattigdom – vi försörjer både er och dem – och håll er långt borta från skamlösa handlingar; de som görs öppet och de som görs i hemlighet, och döda inte någon som Gud har förbjudit er [att döda], utom med rättslig grund. Detta befaller han er för att ni ska använda ert förstånd.

Talal Itani2012 Say, "Produce your witnesses who would testify that God has prohibited this." If they testify, do not testify with them. And do not follow the whims of those who deny Our revelation, and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, and those who equate others with their Lord.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Say: Come, bring your witnesses who can bear witness that Allah forbade (all) this. And if they bear witness, do not thou bear witness with them. Follow thou not the whims of those who deny Our revelations, those who believe not in the Hereafter and deem (others) equal with their Lord

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Say, 'Come on then with your witnesses, who bear witness that God has prohibited these!' but if they do bear witness, bear thou not witness with them; nor follow the lust of those who say our signs are lies, and those who do not believe in the last day, or those who for their Lord make peers

John Medows Rodwell1861 SAY: Bring hither your witnesses who can witness that God hath forbidden these animals; but if they bear witness, witness not thou with them, nor witness to the conceits of those who charge our signs with falsehood, and who believe not in the life to come, and give equals to our Lord

George Sale1734 Say, produce your witnesses, who can bear testimony that God hath forbidden this.

The translators word this verse differently

Talal Itani2012 And do not come near the property of the orphan, except with the best intentions, until he reaches maturity. And give full weight and full measure, equitably. We do not burden any soul beyond its capacity. And when you speak, be fair, even if it concerns a close relative. And fulfill your covenant with God. All this He has enjoined upon you, so that you may take heed.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, till he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight, in justice. We task not any soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the covenant of Allah. This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember

Edward Henry Palmer1880 And draw not nigh unto the wealth of the orphan, save so as to better it, until he reaches full age; and give weight and measure with justice. We do not compel the soul save what it can compass; and when ye pronounce, then be just, though it be in the case of a relative

John Medows Rodwell1861 And come not nigh to the substance of the orphan, but to improve it, until he come of age: and use a full measure, and a just balance: We will not task a soul beyond its ability. And when ye give judgment, observe justice, even though it be the affair of a kinsman, and fulfil the covenant of God. This hath God enjoined you for your monition

George Sale1734 And meddle not with the substance of the orphan, otherwise than for the improving thereof, until he attain his age of strength; and use a full measure, and a just balance. We will not impose a task on any soul, beyond its ability. And when ye pronounce judgement observe justice, although it be for or against one who is near of kin, and fulfill the covenant of God. This hath God commanded you, that ye may be admonished

6:153

Talal Itani2012 This is My path, straight, so follow it. And do not follow the other paths, lest they divert you from His path. All this He has enjoined upon you, that you may refrain from wrongdoing.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My straight path, so follow it. Follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil)

Edward Henry Palmer1880 And God's compact fulfill ye; that is what He ordained you, haply ye may be mindful. Verily, this is my right way; follow it then, and follow not various paths, to separate yourselves from His way; that is what He has ordained you, haply ye may fear

John Medows Rodwell1861 And, "this is my right way." Follow it then; and follow not other paths lest ye be scattered from His path. This hath he enjoined you, that ye may fear Him

George Sale1734 and that ye may know that this is my right way: Therefore follow it, and follow not the paths of others, lest ye be scattered from the path of God. This hath He commanded you that ye may take heed

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 66:6, 20:132, 31:17-19, 17:31, 6:151, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - o + my + dear + son + establish + worship; ward + off + from + yourselves + and + your + families + a + fire; enjoin + upon + thy + people + worship; slay + not + your + children; command + thy + people + to + worship. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
