Abstract

 The paper presents an overview of the rights of the children as discussed by various jurists on the general understanding of Islamic principles. The Quran and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad form the basis and foundation of the Islamic perspectives of the children’s rights, especially the treatment of the orphans. It is observed that the protection of the children’s rights in Islam can be traced to the verses of the Holy Qur’an and thus highlights the importance of this vital study aspect. In Islam, securing the rights of the children is considered a part of the commendable religious deeds that Muslims should perform in order to gain rewards in the hereafter. The behavior of Prophet Muhammad towards orphan children was demonstrably kind.
