Abstract

Islam came more than 1440 years ago to state that children have rights and duties that cannot be overlooked or overlooked. The child includes faith-based worship education, physical education, moral education, mental education, and social education. Children are individuals, not the property of their parents or the state, and are not just persons in the process of training; They have an equal status as members of the human family. Beginning life as a completely dependent being, children must depend on adults for the care and guidance they need to grow to be independent. Ideally, the child's family would provide this support, but when primary caregivers are unable to meet the child's needs, it is up to the State as the duty bearer to find an alternative in the best interest of the child. Since the greatest role in the care and upbringing of the child in a sound upbringing is represented in the role of the parents, Islam has made sure that the family is established in the basis with a pious husband and a righteous wife, and in that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded the husband to choose a righteous wife with a religion, and he said: “A woman may be married for four For her money, her lineage, her beauty, and her religion, so win the one with the same religion, may your hands be dusty.”([1]) Likewise, the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded the wife to choose her husband on the same criterion and basis. There will be sedition in the land and widespread corruption” ([2]), and there is no doubt that this choice, and that basis, would bring full benefit and direct interest to the child who is the fruit of these two righteous spouses, to grow up after that in a friendly and loving family, living in the shadow of the teachings of Islam.
