Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Glance At the World of Youth A. Family and the Circumstances of the First Upbringing The Islamic view point vis-a-vis the scientific perspective for the growing and formation of man through the stages of his existence manifest in the relationships between those stages, from the time of the uniting of the sperm and the egg up to the stages of elderliness.

Islam shows that even the relationship between the different kinds of food eaten by the parents and the zygote, which forms the baby, as well as, the behaviors of the parents toward the child in his early stage and the community and the environment which surrounds him, all have a great role in the upbringing of a newly born child.

Accordingly, we see the holy prophet (s.a.w.) explains that a man's embracing a certain ideology and behaviour in his maturity and responsibility is related to the way he was raised and educated by his parents. Thus, a person becoming a Muslim, having good behaviour, or a person becoming a deviant, shows that his parents and the way he was raised has had a hand in it. But, a person is, initially, born with a pure and clean intellect.

Although his intellect is subject to adjustment and the accomodating of different ideas and behaviours, it is in the first stage that a person and his nature is formed ...

from this the saying of the holy prophet (s.a.w.) will become clear, i.e., "Every man is born on moral constitution unless his parents' will causes him to become a jew or christian or idol worshipper."(2) And the Holy Qur'an talks about this reality, i.e., the relationship between the early education given by the parents and the human behaviour after the grade of maturity and intellectually and bodily perfection.

Allah the most high is saying: "And Allah has brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers - when you knew nothing - and He gave you hearing and sight and the hearts that you may give thanks (to Him)".

Holy Qur'an (The Bee 16:78) "O You who believe: Save yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones..." Holy Qur'an (Prohibitions 66:6) In this view, the Holy Qur'an connects what man learns and obtains in his early stage, what he hears, sees and comprehends and with what comes to him after that, hence, it enjoins the parents to educate and discipline their children aright and warns them against negligence and carelessness (toward their children).
