Children are blessings not burden-Noble Qur'an

Allah (SWT) says in Noble Qur'an: "Kill not your children for fear of want. 

We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing 

of them is great sin." 

Noble Qur'an (17: 31)

Once a Companion, Sahabi (Allah be pleased with him) submitted to 

the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): 

"O Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 

which is the greatest sin?"

Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed: 

"Polytheism"

The Companion, Sahabi (Allah be pleased with him) again submitted: 

"And what next?"

Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed: 

"Disobedience to parents"

The Companion, Sahabi (Allah be pleased with him) submitted for 

the third time: "And which sin is the greatest next to it?"

Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) observed: 

"To kill your children fearing that they will share your sustenance."
