Starter…What can you remember?
What do Muslims believe about SEX?
What do Muslims believe about the
FAMILY?
What do Muslims believe about LIFE?
- It belongs in marriage- Purpose = procreation- ADULTERY = a SIN
- Muslims have a DUTY to procreate.
- Allah commanded that you should start a family once
married.- Family = the heart of Islam.
- Life is sacred-Life is a gift from Allah- Life is a TEST from
Allah
Sex… Family… Life…
All Muslims are expected to have children as they believe
it is what Allah wants. Infertility can be very painful for Muslim couples as they
feel they are not carrying out Allah’s commands.
Therefore most Muslims believe that help should be
given to Muslims who cannot have children naturally.
Despite this there are still some Muslims are
completely against fertility treatment under any
circumstances.
Commitment to the family…
There are THREE main Muslim attitudes to infertility treatments...
Muslim views on infertility…
SOME MUSLIMS...If a couple are
infertile they MUST NOT have infertility
treatments.

IVF treatment is acceptable as long as the egg and donor are
from the married couple.

rights.

In the Qur’an…“To God belongs the dominion of heavens and earth. He creates
what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom
He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. Or he bestows both males and females, and He leaves barren whom He wills. For He is All-Knowledgeable All-Powerful.”

Did YOU achieveYOUR goals?…
OUTCOMES…
Surrogacy…Why do you think they have
made surrogacy illegal in Australia?
Most Muslims also agree that surrogacy is wrong – Why do
you think this is?
Surrogacy is banned in Islam because:
- It is seen as violating the marriage contract.
- It is believed in Islam that the woman who gives birth to the
child is its mother.
Most Muslims also disagree with the use of sperm/egg donors as they feel this is like committing adultery (which violates the marriage contract). The
also believe that all children have the right to know their biological parents.
