Abstract

Children have been recognized as victims of violence, neglect, abandonment and slavery throughout recorded history. Infanticide was an accepted practice for dealing with unwanted children in pre-Islamic cultures in the face of scarce resources. Islam began to preach against infanticide and intentionally inflicted injuries, and has considered them a capital offense, necessitating punishment to assailants. Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) affirmed in his sayings that children should be welltreated, fed, educated and gently disciplined in order to create a godly society on earth.
