Protection Of Children In Law And Islamic Law

Abstract

Children are one of the assets of national development, which should be considered in terms of quality and future. Without reliable quality and a clear future for children, national development will be difficult to carry out and the future of a nation will also be difficult to imagine.

Islam views children as an expensive gift with a sacred status. This expensive gift is a mandate that must be guarded and protected by parents in particular, because children are parents' assets and national assets. Islam has paid great attention to the protection of children. Protection in Islam includes physical, psychological, intellectual, moral, economic, and others. This is translated in the form of fulfilling all their rights, guaranteeing the needs of clothing and their food, maintaining their good name and dignity, maintaining their health, choosing good associates, avoiding violence, and so on.

The method used by the author in compiling the paper uses the literary method, taking data from the literature as well supporting data from several literature related to the Protection of Children in Law and Islamic Law.

The conclusion that can be drawn is that parents, state and religion actually provide great protection for children in their growth and development. This can be seen in Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection and Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System. And in Islamic Law it is regulated in the Al-Quran Surah Al-Nahal verse 78, sura Al-Anfal verse 28 and and in the Hadith namely H.R. al-Bukhari, H.R. al-Nasâ'I, H.R. IbnMajah, H.R. Muslim and H.R. Ahmad.
