Forbidding Infanticide

When news of a daughter reaches one of them, his face darkens, and he is filled with grief.

16:58When if one of them receiveth tidings of the birth of a female, his face remaineth darkened, and he is wroth inwardly.

He hides from people, ashamed of the news. Should he keep her in disgrace or bury her in the dust? How terrible is their judgment!

16:59He hideth himself from the folk because of the evil of that whereof he hath had tidings, (asking himself): Shall he keep it in contempt, or bury it beneath the dust. Verily evil is their judgment.

Those who do not believe in the Hereafter have the worst qualities, while Allah has the highest attributes. He is the Almighty, the Wise.

16:60For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil similitude, and Allah's is the Sublime Similitude. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
