Jesus strongly condemned harming children. He taught that anyone who causes a child to stumble or sin faces severe judgment, famously stating they would be better off drowned in the sea with a heavy millstone tied around their neck.You can read this warning in the New Testament across three of the Gospels:Matthew 18:6: "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."Mark 9:42Luke 17:2Jesus also placed immense value on protecting children and treating them with care. In Matthew 18:10, He warned against looking down on or despising children, noting that their angels continually have access to God. Furthermore, He regularly welcomed them, declaring that "to such belongs the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14).
In the conflict in Gaza, an estimated 17,900 to 19,500 children have been killed, with tens of thousands more injured. Furthermore, around 39,000 children have lost one or both parents. Of this total, approximately 17,000 children are entirely unaccompanied or separated from their families.The full impact of the conflict on children includes staggering figures reported by humanitarian agencies:Fatalities & Injuries: At least 17,900 to 19,500 children have been killed. In addition, tens of thousands of children have been injured, leaving many with permanent disabilities.Orphaned & Separated: Up to 39,000 children have lost one or both parents. The UNICEF Emergency Press Room estimates that around 17,000 of these children are unaccompanied or completely separated from their families.Missing: Thousands of children are reported missing and are presumed dead under the rubble of collapsed buildings.Further detailed breakdowns of these figures and the ongoing challenges faced by unaccompanied minors are available through the International Rescue Committee and Save the Children tracking reports.
Prophet Muhammad explicitly and strictly prohibited harming or killing children under any circumstances. In Islamic law, children are considered entirely innocent (masoom), meaning they are legally protected and exempt from the consequences of adult conflicts.His teachings regarding the protection of children are categorized across key areas:1. Strict Prohibition in WarfareProphet Muhammad established explicit rules of engagement that pioneered civilian protections. He strictly forbade harming children, women, and non-combatants during military conflicts.Condemning the Killing of Children: In a well-documented narration found in Sahih al-Bukhari 3014 and Sahih Muslim 1744, after a woman was found dead on a battlefield, the Prophet strongly condemned and strictly "forbade the killing of women and children".No Aggression Against Innocents: In another account, when soldiers accidentally killed children during a skirmish, the Prophet grew deeply upset. When a companion tried to excuse the act by saying they were only the children of the enemy, the Prophet replied: "Do not kill children! Do not kill children! Every soul is born upon its natural instinct..." (Sunan Ibn Majah).Direct Orders to Military Commanders: Whenever sending out an army, he would explicitly instruct his commanders: "Do not kill a newborn, a child, a woman, or an old man".
