• muslims should have allah decide whether or not they have a family

qur’an-’he creates what he wills’

illustrates that allah is the one who decides whether or not muslims should have a children so methods such as contraception should be avoided as it can interfere  allah’s decision

qur’an-’Do not kill your children for fear of poverty'.’
