How are children cared for in Islam?

God honored humanity by creating it in the best stature, and legislated for it manners and rulings that guarantee a dignified life, enabling it to worship its Lord. Islam has paid attention to humanity in all stages of its life, from the embryo to old age, and its attention to childhood was of utmost importance because it is a stage of spiritual and physical foundation. The manifestations of this attention are numerous and diverse.
