After Syria was Arabized and Islamized, it turned into a battlefield for the arabism  and Islamists, who destroyed the landmarks of civilization 1,400 years ago… Palmyra slaughtered ,   ISIS had the longest hand in destroying it and transferring the culture of Tora Bora to it, Aphamea Seleucus I Nicator was not spared from plundering and destruction, and Mari was not spared from extinction, even Ugarit and other strongholds of the first humans in history were not spared from destruction, and what they did not destroy, stole it and sold it, and with its price they bought the necessities of a lifetime, such as women for marriage, then bullets, rifles, bombs, and other tools of war, Their stolen goods stand tall in various museums outside the country, as a witness to the brutality in dealing with a civilization they did not build.

The country was destroyed with horrific perfectio,stone and human beings, killing men, women, youth, and children,Widowhood became a source for practicing the oldest profession known to history, Orphanage became a factory for manufacturing the ignorant, illiterate young   children  who was unable to visit a school for ten years in a row, Half of the country’s population is homeless and the other half is hungry, There are children who somehow managed to reach Europe, where some of them found a mother, a father, and a family that adopted them and they became the daughters and sons of those families, They enjoy all the rights of children stipulated in the constitutions of those countries, I was happy to adopt them and ensure a decent, normal life for them.

Regarding adoption, allow me to tell a short personal story about the experience of a friend of mine. About 35 years ago, he and his wife wanted to adopt disabled children from Syria. The first condition was “disability,” because, due to financial, social, and moral circumstances, they had the ability to care for the disabled child and secure a future for him, It is known that a disabled orphan child has little chance of living within a family that takes care of him, They wanted to fill some of this deficiency, but they failed to be able to adopt disabled children, They were told that adoption is forbidden by law in Syria, After questioning some scholars, they realized that the reason was the experience of the prophet  With Zainab bint Jahsh and her husband, who was the adopted son of the Prophet. After this experience, Islam prohibited adoption, It was legislated at that time and is still in effect as a law until tod, Most of the country’s laws are derived from Islamic law, and Islamic law does not allow adoption!

The large number of orphans in the context of wars, and the Syrians’ sabotage of Syria is a powerful sabotage, which led me to ask again about the issue of adoption, especially after I learned that adoption is allowed for Christians, but it is forbidden for Muslims, I was shocked by this news, and saddened by the catastrophic situation of tens of thousands of orphans, as I did not Barbarism is content with orphaning them, Sharia law prevents them from replacing their mother and father, What a disaster that words cannot describe.

The Sharia, which has become law, says that adoption is “haram,” but the Prophet’s adoption of Zaid was permissible, and even in pre-Islamic times adoption was common, Does an event before 1400 have the right to determine the method of dealing with orphans after 1400 years? And if the reason for the legal prohibition is based on Adoption has something to do with the case of Zainab bint Jahsh and Zaid, so what does that have to do with orphans these days? Isn’t depriving an orphan of a father and mother also forbidden? Isn’t rescuing an orphan with care, education, and care one of the greatest permissible things?
