Quran verses about Children
الأبناء والبنون
15 verses in 12 surahs · 6 subtopics
Children are presented in these verses as an adornment of worldly life, whose abundance can become a lure leading to ruin. By extension, the expression ibn as-sabil, literally son of the road, refers to the traveler, who must be given from one’s wealth and has a share of zakat. The verses also report the claim of some People of the Book to be the children of Allah, and the Qur’an’s reply.
