ISLAM AND POPULATION GROWTH
Although the clear and true religion of Islam has already ratified population growth, it is obvious that the generation which has been favored over others by the Honorable Prophet of Islam (PBUH), is one that has worthy and righteous children, and if the greatness in numbers should prove to be an obstacle in the good training and healthy upbringing of those children, it will certainly not be acceptable for Islam. Of course, the existing conditions, today, are completely different to those that existed at the time of the Prophet (PBUH), and in many countries of the world at present, an increase in their population will neither strengthen nor give them increased power and authority, but it would, in fact, be the cause of weakness and debility since the unwarned increase of a population will only bring with it increased poverty, sickness, and illiteracy.
