Human development in Islam Children's Development

Human development has garnered significant global attention in recent times, encompassing various fields such as economics, environment, society, education, health, and more. Each field has its proponents, theorists, practitioners, and advocates working towards achieving and promoting development. However, one of the most sensitive and crucial aspects of development is human development, which has encountered conflicting ideas and underexplored theories, leading to a proliferation of both wise and unwise propositions. This is especially true when it comes to children, a category of society that holds immense importance as they are the backbone and lifeline of the community. However, children are also a vulnerable group, lacking control over their own affairs and often lacking proper awareness. They are easily influenced and guided. Despite the global attention given to theories of child development, we observe a dearth of the Islamic concept of child development in the discourse, with many people being unaware of its principles. In this study, we aim to elucidate the Islamic concept of human development, its objectives, and the entity responsible for this development. We also explore the methodology of child development in Islam, which encompasses physical, psychological, social, financial, scientific, and educational aspects.
