Islam recognizes that children are vulnerable and require proper care and protection. 🏵️🏵️
The Quran states "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones" (66:6).
Furthermore, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has emphasized the importance of treating children with kindness, respect, and love, as he said: "He is not one of us who does not have mercy upon our young, respect our elderly, and command good and prohibit evil" (Al-Tirmidhi).
Islamic teachings emphasize seeking knowledge and using reason and wisdom to understand the purpose of life.
The Quran encourages believers to "reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth, saying, 'Our Lord, You did not create this in vain; exalted are You above such a thing: keep us safe from the torment of the Fire'" (3:191).
Therefore, if a religious community or leader perpetuates harmful teachings or practices that cause trauma to children, it is not in line with Islamic teachings.
Moreover, Islam recognizes the impacts of trauma on mental health, and it encourages seeking help and treatment.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that "There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its remedy." (Al-Bukhari).
This demonstrates Islam's recognition of the significance of mental health and how seeking help, including counseling and therapy, is encouraged in the Islamic faith.
In the end, Islam emphasizes the importance of providing children with proper care and protection and encourages critical thinking and reflection.
Any harmful teachings or practices that cause trauma to children are not in line with Islamic teachings.
Islamic teachings also recognize the impacts of trauma on mental health and encourages seeking help and treatment for it.
