Weak Offspring from the Perspective of Qur'anic Interpretation: Approaches to Islamic Law, Psychology and Economics

Abstract

Having children is one of the goals of marriage and also a dream for every family. These offspring are a mandate from Allah that must be looked after, cared for, raised and educated as stated in religious guidance. On the other hand, the Qur'an mentions that there are weak descendants. This article was prepared to reveal the meaning of weak offspring according to commentators. This article is an analytical description of various tafsir that are well known to the public, including: Tafsir Al-Azhar, Al-Mishbah, Al-Jilani, Ath-Thabari, and Tafsir of the Ministry of Religion. This article is written in the form of a qualitative analysis description. The result of this article was that offspring with a weak perspective on interpreting the Al-Qur'an are offspring who do not receive guarantees of a good livelihood from their parents. For this reason, parents are obliged to prepare provisions for life for their offspring in terms of basic needs, religious education, knowledge, and skills as provisions for life and economic planning to support children's needs in the future
