Islamic Perspective of Contraception and Abortion
₦3,500This book deals with the issue of contraception. This issue has become one of the accepted elements of today’s civilization, and a most common practice among the Muslims. By this, they often violate fundamental Islamic principles. Some of them even go as far as performing abortion for the slightest excuse – not realizing that voluntary abortion could be a crime as serious as full-fledged murder.
This necessitates providing some advise for those who seek the truth but have only heard the wrong views of the shallow-minded. It is important to present a clear picture of contraception and abortion, and a detailed reasoning for the position of Islam in this regard.

Islam however, considers the family unit as responsible for the emotional well-being, security and personal sense of worth for the members.
