The Call to Family Planning

Question:
One of the brothers brought a clipping from one of the magazines, in which it was written: “The most dangerous report on the Arab world: how the Arabs are living. Births are increasing, life is getting longer, deaths are decreasing, and the land remains as it is. Therefore, these countries are in urgent need of a family planning program.” And so on.

Answer:
This is absolute ignorance. Allah provides for them according to His plan, (Exalted and Majestic is He), and He knows best about it. Even if they lived many times longer than they do, they have a Lord who provides for them and disposes of them as He wills. But we ask Allah for his guidance. One should be concerned with guiding him and calling him to the truth. If Allah guides him, He will set his affairs in order. And whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from a source he does not expect. Most of the lands are empty, with no one living in them. If people increase, they will find land to live in. Yes.
