Tanshiah Al- Ṭufūlah Min Manẓūr Al-Tarbiyyah Al-Qurāniyyah

The primary aim of this research paper is to explore the formation of childhood from the perspective of Quranic education and to highlight the distinctiveness of Islamic jurisprudence in this regard compared to other theories and philosophies. The paper adopts an inductive and analytical methodology to achieve its objective. It is structured into two main sections, each addressing multiple aspects. The first section elucidates the general rights of children in Islam, emphasizing pre-birth rights such as the importance of choosing a righteous mother with suitable characteristics to be a mother to children. It also discusses post-birth rights, including the right to protection and care, ensuring the preservation of all psychological and moral rights, proper naming, upbringing with good morals, values, and justice, and fulfilling all material rights such as the right to breastfeeding, 'aqiqah (the ritual of sacrificing an animal on the occasion of a child's birth), financial support, and safeguarding their property and possessions. The second section focuses on the prophetic model in dealing with childhood, highlighting the distinctive approach of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in his compassionate, just, and gentle treatment of children. It emphasizes his emphasis on instilling noble morals and values, ensuring their rights to education and upbringing in life skills, and promoting the fulfilment of the human purpose of worshipping Allah and contributing positively to society
