Abstract

The population and its management are the most important issues of society and government. Islamic jurisprudence mentions population and generation as well as its effects and blessings. It also emphasizes that the small population has a high and undeniable influence on the strengths and weaknesses of the government. Also, based on the recommendation of the Holy Quran and the noble Imams (peace be upon them) regarding the generation of the generation and the upbringing of righteous children, there are many disasters and damages in the way of the families due to the decrease in the population and the threat of the generation. Therefore, government administrators must take the necessary measures and efforts according to the jurisprudence principles regarding the generation and the risks caused by the decrease in the population and the correct upbringing of the children. In this article, first, the population was examined from a lexical and idiomatic perspective, and then from the point of view of verses, traditions, and Islamic jurisprudence. Then this article discussed the harmful effects of the low population and the merits of the population. And finally, while finding the roots, we gave some suggestions for government officials to increase the population.
