| Summary: | This research paper is aimed at studying and
discussion on the extent of interest in Islam to
looking after the ageing population as enshrined
in the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The ageing population nowadays is facing
number of human rights problems including:
problem of ʿAqīdah (religious belief), social,
educational and economic as a result of the
mistreatments mainly from family members of
different communities towards this vulnerable
group. The research paper seeks to find out
the backgrounds of these problems, and to
provide the appropriate solutions from the
Quran and Sunnah perspectives. This will be
done by explaining the Sharīʿah principles and
ethical values prescribed by Islam in attending
the welfare of the ageing population, and thus
suggesting solutions that can be put into practice
by our community order to reduce the problems
facing the ageing population. |
