Abstract (EN)

On the pre-Islâmic Arabian peninsula, women, girls, slaves and materially weak were second-class people. The surplus of men in the male-dominated society represented power. The need for men in war and raid was too much. Women were not in a position to fight in tribal raids and wars. Moreover, the defeat of the tribe and the confiscation of women as slaves was a shame for the tribe. It would be a matter of honor for girls and women to fall into the hands of the other party in any raid and would be a matter of shame for losing tribe. That's why every girl born was a matter of potential embarrassment. With the advent of Islâm, it is positioned in the same place because of the fact that it should be human being. Before Islâm, the women, which was the subject of inheritane like property, has now become an individual who can take part in the inheritance. İsolated from social life, the woman was very active during the Prophet time. Some of the rights Islâm brings to women are material, while others are related to the fact that it is an individual who can make her own decisions, most importantly to protect the right to life of a girl, even if only some tribes are practicing. Some tribes (girls) children were not wanted for fear of hunger. While killing children is not the case for every member of the tribe, the Qur'an's opposition to this situation shows us that this number is too much to ignore. The Qur'an states that what he did was wrong when Allah portrayed the face of the father who had a baby girl, and thah those who killed his children would be punished with a serious punishment. Allah recalls that Allah gave the sustanence of both the children and tha parents who killed their children. Child killing was mainly due to poverty and honor. However, the child's imperfect birth was alsodue to religious ans social reasons. In the Qur'an, Allah strongly criticizes the killing of a girl and declares that those who do so will be punished.
