Today,unfortunately, the unborn child (called "janin" in the Holy Book Al Qur'an) is not recognised as a human being and has no legal rights or status!

In Britain about 600 innocent living unborn children are killed every day
through abortion!. Worldwide, abortion accounts for around 45 million killing each year!

According to the Islamic teachings the unborn child is fully recognised and respected as a human being, and has many interesting legal rights as all other human beings.

An unborn child in Islam has all the rights like any other human being. These rights
are and should be recognised and defended by Muslims, whether they are mothers, fathers,
nurses, doctors or politicians.
We believe the time has come for the Pro-life Christians and the Muslims, to work together in order to establish legally and internationally: the human rights of the unborn child.
