| Abstract (English): |
This research entitled (Preservation of the Offspring) focuses on an important group of the family, namely: the offspring, either sons or daughters, regardless of the extent of the offspring extension. The researcher therein followed the Inductive-Deductive Approach. The most important objectives of the research include: Highlighting on the Qur'anic vision of an important aspect of the offspring entity, where that vision goes beyond the stage of upbringing and care up to the stage of preservation in all its forms; Highlighting Allah's absolute and full preservation of all of His creation; Focusing on all particular matters related to preservation of the offspring; Clarifying the role assigned to parents to preserve their offspring. The most important findings of the research include: - Allah Almighty is the One who has the absolute and complete preservation - As for the preservation by the human, it is a limited and incomplete preservation due to the human's limited ability. - Allah only is the One who knows the method, manner, and duration of the preservation. - In addition, preservation requires two important qualities, namely: knowledge and ability. - Preservation has reasons, including faith and adopting the actions requiring the preservation, such as the bona fide, Islamic remembrances, and the actions that require preservation under legal provision(s). - The forms of Allah's preservation of the offspring include preservation of their deeds and money, and enacting the legislations that require preservation thereof, particularly in their poorest situations, such as the state of being orphan and etc. - In preservation of their children, the parents' most prominent roles include commitment to application of Allah's orders, righteousness, piety, appropriate speech and supplication. The parents' righteousness to Allah as well as supplication for their offspring do not absolutely oblige the preservation by Allah because the fate may precede by not guiding the children who select the way of going astray. Allah's preservation of His servants has two types, namely: 1- Preservation of the religion and good deeds for only the faithful and righteous believers, not for the infidel. 2- Preservation of the world as well as its belongings, such as soul preservation and preservation of the extremities of the body as well as preservation of the sustenance, such as funds and children. This type of preservation is generally for all Muslims or unbelievers. There is a good example in the stories of the Prophets, peace be upon them, with their offspring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
