قُلْ تَعَالَوْا اَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَیْكُمْ اَلَّا تُشْرِكُوْا بِهٖ شَیْــٴًـا وَّ بِالْوَالِدَیْنِ اِحْسَانًاۚ-وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَوْلَادَكُمْ مِّنْ اِمْلَاقٍؕ-نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَ اِیَّاهُمْۚ-وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَۚ-وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِیْ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ(151)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Say you (O Beloved), 'Come, so that I may recite to you what your Lord has made unlawful for you; this; that 'Do not ascribe any partner to Him, and be good to parents, and do not kill your children because of poverty; We shall provide sustenance for all; you and them, and do not approach indecent acts; (those) which are open amongst them and (those) which are concealed, and do not unjustly kill any life which Allah has made sacred; He has ordered you this, so that you may understand.'

Commentary

In the Age of Ignorance, one reason for infanticide was fear of poverty. Some people thought that they would not be able to provide adequate clothing, food, and other necessities for children so they resorted to this most heinous deed. Unfortunately, many Muslims have committed this grave offence in our era too; they have killed unborn children due to the fear of expenses related to their education and upbringing, especially when they came to know that the unborn child was a girl.
