Abortion in Islam

The scholars all agree that abortion is forbidden after the first four months of pregnancy, since by that time the soul has entered the embryo but it would allow the use of RU486 (the "morning-after pill"), as long as it could be reasonably assumed that the fertilized egg has not become implanted on the wall of the uterus. Most scholars say that abortion is legal under Islamic Shari'ah (law), when done for valid reasons and when completed before the soul enters the embryo. To abort a baby for such vain reasons as wanting to keep a woman’s youthful figure, are not valid.

Some Muslims argue that the only case when aborting a fetus, before or after 120 days, is allowed in Islam, is when a medical situation threatens the life of the mother, leaving only two options, to let either the other or the fetus survive, but not both. Scholars argue that such a case can only be determined by a specialist, trusted and committed Muslim doctor. They argue that the mother can have other children, whereas the child cannot make up for losing the mother.

A friend of mine has four kids,the older is five years old, and the youngest is one year old. She found out that she was pregnant and made up her mind to abort the baby in her 3rd week of pregnancy.
I couldn't advise her because many people try hardly to get pregnant but never get the chance to do so, but I also understands what is she going through.

What would you do if this was your last day being alive?

Did this idea ever crossed your mind?

What would you do if this was your last day being alive?

Seriously, won’t you go to the people you were unfair with them, ask for forgiveness, or spend your hole day praying whatever prayers you missed, or would you wear Hijab at that time.
Why won’t we use the advantage of being alive and do the right thing, what Allah created us to do. Don’t be fooled by life, it is short and not worth it.

Life as a tree's shadow under which passengers may rest,but they will keep going sooner or later.
