READ:
# Allah SWT says in Quran
"Read! In the name of your Lord" (Alaq 1, first revealed ayah)
"Say: Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? It is those who are endued with understanding that remember

(Allah's knowledge)". (Zumar-9)
# The Prophet (saw) said:
"Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim" (Ibn Maajah (Al- Albaani:Saheeh).

Dear brothers and sisters: Knowledge is Light & Power. So seek knowledge according to the quotes from the glorious Quran and Hadith of our noble Prophet (saw).

Be that as it may be, I want to share with us today the misconception of Contraception or Family Planning.

IS CONTRACEPTION ALLOWED IN ISLAM

*Question: Is contraception (that is, preventing one’s wife from becoming pregnant) allowed in Islam? What is the authentic Islamic ruling about it?
Answer
There are fundamentally two methods of Contraception or family planning.

(1) Permanent methods

(2) Temporary methods

(1) Permanent Methods: Permanent methods include, Vasectomy in males and Tubecotomy in females. All the scholars unanimously AGREE that permanent methods of family planning are COMPLETELY HARAAM (prohibited) since they involve changing human physiology.
Says Allah in the Qur’an: “So set you your face steadily and truly to the Faith: (Establish) Allah’s handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made humankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not.” (Al-Qur’an 30:30)

*The Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said: “Marry the one who is loving and fertile, for I will be proud of your great numbers before the nations [i.e., on the Day of Resurrection].” (Abu Dawood Hadith no. 2050, Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1805)

(2) Temporary Methods:

Following are various different temporary methods.

a) M.T.P. (Medical Termination of Pregnancy) or Abortion: All scholars unanimously agree that M.T.P. or abortion is HARAAM (prohibited.)

Allah says in the Glorious Qur’an “...kill not your children on a plea of want; We provide

sustenance for you and for them;” (Al-Qur’an 6:151)

“Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you: verily the killing of them is a great sin.” (Al-Qur’an 17:31)

*However, scholars unanimously agree that any permanent method of family planning, or even abortion, can be done if the life of the mother is in danger. For e.g. if the woman is suffering from certain diseases like heart disease or has under gone multiple caesarean operations and in her case the continuation of pregnancy or another pregnancy may be detrimental to her life, then the woman can be aborted or a permanent method of family planning can be adopted to save the life of the woman.

b) Taking birth control pills:

Almost all the scholars including Shaykh Ibn Baaz, Council of the Senior Scholars [of Saudi Arabia] agree that it is not allowed to take birth control pills (Fataawa al-Marah) because of its side effects and changes in the normal physiology.

c) Copper-T: A very common temporary method of family planning or contraception is Copper-T.

Though it is known as ‘contraception’ but technically it is contra-implantation. The sperm fertilizes the ovum but the zygote formed is destroyed by the Copper-T and is prevented from being implanted on the uterine wall (mother’s womb). Thus it is a very early abortion, which is prohibited in Islam.

Some “scholars” out of ignorance permit this temporary method of family planning without knowing its detail.

d) Coitus Interruptus (‘Azl):

Coitus Interruptus is permissible as long as it is performed with mutual consent of both the husband and wife since both of them have equal right to have children.

*This is based on the Hadith of Jabir (RA) who said: “We used to practice (‘Azl) coitus interruptus during the days when the Qur’an was being revealed”.Jabir added: “We used to practice coitus interruptus during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger while the Qur’an was being revealed.” (Sahih Bukhari vol. 7, Hadith no. 136)

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:

“With regard to ‘azl, some of the scholars regarded it as haraam, but the view of the four imams is that it is permissible with the wife’s permission. And Allah nows best.” (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 32/110)

e) As regarding other temporary methods of family planning like condom etc., the scholars are divided whether their use is permitted or not. Allah (swt) has provided a natural method of planning the family, which is medically known as lactation amenorrhea. After the women gives birth to a child, till she breast feeds she does not have her menstrual cycle, thus the chances of pregnancy in this period of lactation is minimal.

*Allah says in the Qur’an “The mothers shall give suck to their offspring for two whole years...” (Al-Qur’an 2:233)

Reasons for Family Planning: All the various reasons for family planning can be divided into two categories:

1. Either for poverty or

2. Giving special attention to children by having fewer children.
As for those who are poor and fear that they will not be able to meet the economic expenses of the additional child, Allah (swt) has prescribed the system of zakaat. Every rich person who has the savings of more than the nisab level i.e. 85 gms of gold, should give 2.5% of his excess wealth every lunar year in charity. Those who are poor have the right to take the zakaat money.

Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an “...Kill not your children on a plea of want; We provide sustenance for you and for them;” (Al-Qur’an 6:151)

Allah (swt) also mentions in the Qur’an “Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you: verily the killing of them is a great sin.” (Al-Qur’an 17:31)

Both these verses seems to convey the same message but on scrutiny we realize that the first verse is meant for poor parents, who fear that if one more child is born in the family neither they will be able to survive nor the child, thus Allah (swt) says we provide sustenance for you and for them. In the other verse Allah (swt) says We shall provide sustenance for them and as well as for you, referring to rich parents who feel that if they have less children they can concentrate on them better and give them better education and quality life. Here Allah (swt) reverses the order and mentions first the children and then the parents.

You may be third, fourth, fifth and so on child of your parents. If your parents would have done family planning, then you would not have been born. Alhumdulillah. However, are you a boon or a bane to the society?

The really problem and fear is bearing children that you don't cater for either males of females. That is where it becomes dangerous and Haram to the sight of Allah (SWT).

It is a misconception that if there are fewer children you can provide better education and quality life to your child:

However, its worth notable that one never knows which child could be a blessing from the Creator for the family. It is quite possible that the child, which the parents anticipate to be a bane, may turn out to be a boon for the family and the society. History bears witness to the fact that many of the great scientists, thinkers and revolutionaries were not from only amongst the first two children of their parents.

Thus the child whom the parents consider unwanted may be a blessing to the family religiously and economically.
With regards to the claim of the people who say that the growth in population increases poverty, this was mainly based on Malthusian’s theory. This theory states that, to maintain prosperity and welfare of human race, its increase should be checked to correspond with the production of foodstuff.

But now we have realized that Malthusian’s theory has been proved wrong and there is no shortage of food grains. Moreover, in spite of the amount of verse arable land and numerous mineral resources in Nigeria uses in agriculture, there is still much more land in Nigeria, which can, with little more efforts in fertilizing it through the proper means be utilized in agriculture thus producing more food grains. It would be interesting to note that population density of Holland and Denmark is about four to five times more than that of Nigeria.

Nevertheless the living conditions of the people there is far better off (economically) than in Nigeria.

Besides, even if one faces difficulties in upbringing of children, one should always remember that in these hardships could be a test from Allah as this life is a test for the hereafter.

*Allah says in the Qur’an: “He Who created Death and Life that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might Oft-Forgiving” [Al Qur’an 67: 2]

*Allah also says: “Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.” [Al Qur’an 2 :155]

Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an “And they plotted and planned and Allah too planned and the best of planners is Allah (swt)” (Al-Qur’an 3:54).

If you feel you can plan the family better, the choice is yours or else leave it to Allah (swt) to do the best planning for your family.

Allah knows the best. Knowledge is Light & Power.

An alternative to aerated beverages and sports drinks, coconut water, is low in calories, and delicious to boot! But, did you know that your favorite drink has some surprising benefits to offer?

Do I see your interests piquing? Good. Because I’ve got a lot to share.

Before we begin with the never-ending tale of coconut water benefits, let’s take a quick look at the biological aspects of this fruit. Ready?

Vasco da Gama gave the coconut its name. The inhabitants called it ‘Coco,’ named after a scowling face or hobgoblin (the scary coconut’s ‘eyes,’ remember?). When this ‘coco’ arrived in England, the suffix ‘nut’ was added making it a ‘coconut.’ Interesting, right?

But, coconut is not a ‘nut’ as many of us presume. It is actually a stone fruit found on the palm trees that grow well in the coastal tropical environments. This tree usually yields several hundreds of tender fruits every season, depending upon the species and the area.

Coconut ‘water’ is actually the juice present inside the endosperm (interior cavity) of the young (about 5-7 months old) and tender coconut. This clear liquid is sweet and sterile and contains various essential compounds such as vitamins, minerals, sugars, electrolytes, amino acids, phytohormones, and cytokine.

Coconut water is an ideal drink for weight loss. It is low in calories and easy on the stomach. In fact, this light and refreshing drink contains various bioactive enzymes that aid digestion and boost fat metabolism. Plus, coconut water is rich in potassium, which helps balance out sodium.
Each tender coconut may contain around 200 to 1000 ml of water, depending on the size and species. Any fruit that is younger than five months of age will be bitter and without any nutrients. On the other hand, mature coconuts have less water because their endosperm is thick with a white edible kernel.

Dear friends are you facing any health challenges that Coconut Water can cure? Not just read this, but try it out if you already known or diagnosis of any ailment that Coconut Water will cure you of.

Let’s quickly move on to the interesting part without wasting any more time, shall we?
How Can Coconut Water Help You

Health Benefits


The list has just begun. There are many health benefits of coconut water that you will be surprised to know, just like the one above. So, stay tuned.
1. Promotes Cardiovascular Health

For a healthy heart, you need to eat nutritious food and exercise regularly. And now, you can add drinking coconut water to the list.
Studies have shown that coconut water can reduce the risk of heart attacks, lower blood pressure, and hypertension (1).
Tender coconut water, preferably fresh, can be had once a day to improve cardiovascular health.

Caution—Coconut water might be low in calories, but the yield from one coconut can contain about five grams of sugar. Therefore, drinking too much coconut water is not recommended.

2. Improves Metabolism
You probably know that improved metabolism means that you end up burning more calories. While there might be many things slugging your metabolism, coconut water isn’t one of them. In fact, it can give your metabolism quite the boost.
One of the crucial things required for the proper metabolism of carbohydrates and fats into energy is manganese (2). This is why coconut water, a good source of manganese, helps improve metabolism.

3. Prevents Kidney Stones
Prevention of kidney stones is one of the most effective health benefits of coconut water. Kidney stones can cause a lot of pain and may result in serious health issues. Drinking coconut water can help in preventing them.
Kidney stones occur when there is an accumulation of crystals in your kidneys that should have been flushed out through urine. Research has shown that coconut water reduces the amount of crystals deposited in the kidneys, which significantly reduces the occurrence of kidney stones (3).

4. Aids Digestion
It is common knowledge that ingesting fibers is essential for your digestive system to function properly. Coconut water is rich in fiber, which is why it helps with your digestive system.
The water a single coconut yield contains about 9% of the amount of fiber that is required by your body in a single day (4).

5. Prevents And Treats Dehydration
Dehydration occurs when the water content in your body drops. It is usually a result of not drinking enough water or losing water through excretion. Coconut water keeps you hydrated, which is why a lot of athletes use it as a post-workout drink.

When you are dehydrated, you don’t just lose water; you lose essential salts and nutrients as well. Coconut water, which has high water content and is rich in nutrients, helps replenish your body (5).

6.-Helps-With-Muscle-Cramps
Muscle cramps can happen due to many reasons, and coconut water helps ease the discomfort.
According to studies, potassium deficiency can result in muscle spasms. A diet rich in potassium ensures that your muscles stay in perfect order (6).
Excessive exercising can also cause muscle cramps, which can be eased by the consumption of electrolytes. Coconut water, which replenishes lost water and potassium, can be a perfect substitute for any energy drink (7).

7. Strengthens Bones
Although our bones are made up mostly of calcium, we need some nutrients to maintain bone strength and density.
There have been several studies about the impact of coconut water on bones. The results have been favorable (. Coconut water contains a significant amount of calcium that is necessary for healthy bones. It also has magnesium that builds bone strength.

8. Reduces Bloating
Bloating is usually gas-related. But it can also be caused due to high sodium intake, which coconut water can reduce.
Coconut contains a high amount of potassium, which helps counteract the effects of sodium .

9. Aids Weight Loss
Weight loss is one of the most amazing benefits of drinking coconut water. Consuming empty calories is one the main reasons you tend to put on weight. Aerated drinks and other sugary drinks can make you pile on calories and leave you feeling hungry. If you are seeking an alternative, coconut water is an excellent substitute.
Coconut water is a good source of dietary fiber (10). Fiber does not get digested by your body, so it stays in your system longer and keeps you feeling full. This is why you rarely feel hungry, and eat less.

10. Helps With Diabetes
Wondering if people with diabetes can have this sweet and delicious drink? Research says yes!
Certain studies have concluded that the water from mature coconuts can have an antidiabetic effect (11). People with diabetes are very susceptible to excessive blood clotting, which puts them at risk (12). Not only does coconut water help reduce blood sugar, but it also prevents the occurrence of blood clots.
Caution—With the intake of coconut water, diabetics should monitor their blood sugar for signs of hypoglycemia.

11. Lowers Blood Pressure
Coconut water has a direct effect on blood pressure. Studies have shown that it can help in lowering blood pressure and hypertension. It also reduces cholesterol and prevents blood clots.
Coconut water exhibits antithrombotic effects, which means it helps prevent blood clots (13). It also reduces cholesterol, which can have an enormous impact on your blood pressure by clogging up your arteries (14).

12. Treats Diarrhea
Coconut water is a must-have liquid for those suffering from diarrhea. It will prevent the need for hospitalization by replacing the fluid loss from the GI (Gastrointestinal) tract (15).
Interestingly, this humble liquid has a higher osmolarity than that of the WHO recommended ORS solution due to the presence of essential chemical compounds such as amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and fatty acids. Being very low in sodium and chlorides, but high in sugars and amino acids also makes coconut water a well-balanced fluid replacement for diarrhea.

13. As An Electrolyte Replacement
Coconut water is also a workable short-term replacement for human blood plasma (16). 100 ml of coconut water contains about 250 mg of potassium and 105 mg of sodium that help replenish electrolyte deficiency in the patient’s body.
This is the sole reason why coconut water was popular during the World War II.

14. As A Detoxifier
We all know that detoxification is an important process for the proper functioning of our body. This process helps flush out harmful components from our organs, making us healthy from inside out.
But did you know that dehydration is also a significant contributor to the build-up toxins in our body?
Yes, it is, because inadequate hydration leads to hampered functioning of kidneys and livers, the detoxifying organs, thus giving way to the accumulation of toxins in the body.
What can we do about it?
The solution is all clear, my dear. Stay hydrated. And what can be a better hydration alternative than our precious coconut water?

Our body is capable of cleansing and detoxing on its own, provided it has all the essential nutrients and hydration, and coconut water contains every required nutrient including potassium and sodium.

15. Beneficial After A Prolonged Workout Session
Replace your energy drinks with coconut to stay hydrated even after a long work-out session.
Coconut water is rich in essential potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium which helps natural replenishment of lost electrolytes in the body. Also, they assist in maintaining proper fluid balance (17, 18).

16. Balances pH Levels
Many toxins and chemical compounds present in the environment and foods make your body pH levels highly acidic which can eventually lead to joint pain, chemical sensitivity, heartburn, weight gain, diabetes, and immune deficiency.
This is where coconut water comes into play.
Coconut water has an amazing alkalizing effect which helps restore a healthy pH in the body. So, next time you face a disturbing acidity and heartburn, don’t think before sipping on this tasty drink.

17. Provides Instant Energy
Are you still relying on that bottled energy drink after a sunny day? Don’t. Because now you have a better reason to switch to coconut water instead.
A glass of fresh coconut water contains about 5 mg of natural sugar that has better energy-boosting effects than that of energy drinks, at a much lower price (19). The same glass is also rich in about 294 mg of potassium, which is essential for energy production in the cells.

18. Cures Hangovers
Consume coconut water next time you go overboard with the alcohol.
Having coconut water helps settle your stomach, reducing frequent urination and the urge to puke. It also helps provide the much-required hydration and nutrients that are lost courtesy alcohol.
Also, the antioxidants present in this revitalizing drink fight oxidative stress that occurs due to too much alcohol in our system (20).
Make your hangover drink by using coconut water, ripe mangoes, lemon juice and mint. Here’s how:
What You Need
2 cups fresh coconut water
2 cups grated ripe mangoes
2 fresh mint sprigs
1/2 cup ice
What You Need To Do
Make a smoothie by blending all the ingredients and have it fresh to get rid of that annoying hangover.

19. Relieves Headaches
Dehydration is one of the major triggers for headaches, and coconut water is touted to be one of the best natural remedies for instant hydration.
Migraine patients have low levels of magnesium and coconut water with their high levels of magnesium helps reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.

20. Treats Alzheimer’s
Coconut water is being seen as one of the new possible treatments for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s.
In one study, it was found that trans-zeatin, a cytokinin present in coconut water, has high prevention powers against brain cell damage. It also helps cure impairments in memory .
