After delivery and cutting of umbilical cord
which the foetus has depended upon for acquiring food from the mother during
pregnancy, the baby starts another stage in a new station of life. In this
stage, Almighty Allah, the Supreme Being, ordained another unique food for the
baby. He asserts “And the mothers
should suckle their children for two whole years for him who desires to make
complete the time of suckling; and their maintenance and their
clothing must be– borne by the father according to usage; no soul shall
have imposed upon it a duty but to the extent of its capacity; neither shall a
mother be made to suffer harm on account of her child, nor a father on account
of his child, and a similar duty (devolves) on the (father’s) heir,
but if both desire weaning by mutual consent and counsel, there is no
blame on them, and if you wish to engage a wet-nurse for your
children, there is no blame on you so long as you pay what you promised for
according to usage; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah and know that
Allah sees what you do.” [Q2:233].
So, Almighty Allah through the Glorious Quran enjoins “2 years”
for breastfeeding (without compulsion from the mother and those with medical
difficulties) as the best form of weaning and the financial responsibility
should be borne “by the father” based on capability. The parents (of the new
born baby) are enjoined to seek counsel from experienced ones and health
officers and if the mother is medically not fit to breastfeed, she can employ
medically certified woman to do so. Could this assertion be referred to as
“Theocratic facsism” as once opined by Atheists? Obviously, THIS IS MEDICALLY
AND LOGICALLY MARVELOUS!!!
More importantly,
scientists discovered recently that the child’s complete nutrition is from her
mother’s breast milk, as it is not completed unless the mother suckled her
child for two complete years! Again, World Health Organization recommends
exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, after which “infants
should receive nutritionally adequate and safe complementary foods while
breastfeeding continues up to two years of age or beyond ” as reported in WHO
(2003) Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, Geneva. Yet, a new
medical conference came with a conclusion that the ideal period of sucking is
two years, because in this age the child is in urgent need of immunity elements
to develop immunity systems which are only found in mother’s milk. One would
not but ask: Why did it take the turn of millennium before WHO, Academy of
Pediatrics, US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality etc to align their
scientific reasoning with what Almighty Allah has revealed to Prophet Muhammed
(through Angel Gabriel) in 14 hundred centuries ago? CONCLUSION of TGIF
Again, those that
claimed that the Glorious Quran is plagiarized, why have they not be able to
bring to fore the “original texts” and the “plagiarized texts” in the
Quran? (….to be concluded next week Monday
by Allah’s will)
