Anyone concerned with societal issues must consider the problem of orphanhood and its solutions, which affect the lives of tens of thousands of children, We must know that, according to UNESCO, there are about 140 million children who have lost their parents in the world, We must also know that there are half a million orphans in Tunisia, for example, more than two million in Egypt, several million in Iraq, millions in Syria, and millions outside Syria as well, until the number reaches 11 million in the Arab countries, How can we not feel the enormity of the disaster?
When we learn that the number of children adopted in America and Europe has reached 132 million, who lost their parents, we feel the greatness and humanity of the solution, Disasters are not considered problems when there are solutions for them, This is how Europe and America were able to find a wonderful cure for the hardship of an orphan’s life who did not commit a sin or a crime, The sin was the sin of the forests and monsters of this world, especially the world of this region, whose peoples have been fighting and thus killing and orphaning continuously and intensively for about 1440 years.
The people of this region contribute to producing disasters and problems, but they do not contribute to finding solutions for them, The matter is not limited to the abundant production of orphans and the severe deficiency in finding appropriate solutions for orphans, This region is isolated from the world, isolated from its joys and a cause of its sorrows, and it falls short in fulfilling its duties towards itself and towards others, Practicing hatred is not a duty, and practicing hollow arrogance has no relation to fulfilling duties, One of the causes of disasters was and still is the concept of arrogance in the name of the “best nation,” which was not limited to a pathological, narcissistic pride in a deficient, backward, begging, parasitic, and then terrorist self, The false and arrogant reference to the “best nation” includes accusing other nations of inferiority, If there were even 1% truth in the concept of the “best nation,” the rejection, resentment, and distancing from the creatures of the “best nation” would not have reached such a level!
Adopting children who have lost their parents, for whatever reason, expresses the nobility of human morals, It is the bright white face of humanity, which confronts the barren and ugly black faces, and gives human humanity a positive meaning and significance for its existence,If it weren’t for the goodness in humans, it would not be possible to tolerate the evils of some humans, What would be the situation with a nation that has no goodness in it? A nation that forbids adoption because one of its members was embarrassed 1440 years ago because he took his adopted son’s wife, a very rare thing in the animal gardens of humans.
The embarrassment regarding the sexual seizure of a son’s wife is undoubtedly justified, as a son’s wife is considered a daughter, Therefore, societies, even those of the pre-Islamic era, condemned this act in ancient times, and humanity still condemns it and tries to refine its instincts, especially the sexual ones, Sometimes it fails and sometimes it succeeds, but the project of refinement has not stopped until this moment and will not stop,This is how humanity has progressed relatively, until it reached its current state, which will progress and be refined more in the future.
One of the forms of discipline in the case of orphanhood was adoption, Even in the pre-Islamic era there was adoption, and before the pre-Islamic era there was adoption, and at the beginning of the call to Islam there was adoption, But as soon as the dawn broke on this nation before 1440, there began a regression in many aspects of life, Among the manifestations of regression are what is related to sex and destructive sexual desire, sometimes, as if this desire works in the family outside the framework of the relationship between the wife and the husband, that is, that sexual desire devours the relationship between the father and his daughter or the brother and his sister, etc.
In the case we are discussing, the cause of the scandal was the awakening of Zainab’s legs to a destructive sexual desire that went against morals, values, and social necessities, To cover up that awakening, rulings were falsely attributed to the Creator, and the believer has no choice but to obey and submit, Even Al-Humayra, may God honor her face, realized this and accused the Creator of being ahead of the one infatuated with Zainab’s legs in his desire, We do not want to recall what happened in detail, as the story is well-known and documented in more than one source, As a result, adoption was prohibited, and the door was opened wide to the exploitation of other people’s wives, not the wives of the sons who were embarrassed, Adoption fell, and the member stood proudly, butting against the vulvas, “So when Zayd finished with her and came,” etc.
The problem has nothing to do with the rape of Zainab, In the time of the captives, rape was commonplace, What happened to Zainab happened to Safia and others, The problem and its horrific effects were greater, and the greatest was the prohibition of adoption, which is still in effect to this day in some parts of the world, The prohibition of adoption deprived millions of children of the blessing of affection and the blessing of a stable life within the framework of a “family.” It also deprived millions of married couples of children in the event of infertility, We can only say that, for the sake of Zainab’s legs, massacres of mistakes and sins were committed against millions of children and families, that is, against humanity.
Religious authorities have strived to promote alternative solutions outside of adoption, such as guardianship, which, in theory and practice, is a patchwork and a sham, At best, it does not represent a substitute for adoption, Guardianship is something else entirely, radically different from adoption by a family,The child grows up in a family, not in guardianship! The foster father and mother are equivalent to the biological parents, Guardianship is not a father and mother, nor is it a biological parent, As a reminder, the United Nations declared November 9th as World Adoption Day!
