خلاصة:
Life is one of the fundamental truths of creation. In the Qur’an, the term “life” primarily refers to material existence; however, Qur’anic discourse frames human life within both material and immaterial dimensions, encompassing spiritual life and eternal afterlife. The right to life signifies every human being’s entitlement to material existence at all stages—from conception to worldly life. Using a descriptive, analytical, and documentary approach, this article examines the right to life or its deprivation from the human fetus in the light of the verses of revelation and the traditions of the Ahl al-Bayt. (pbut). The findings of the research indicate that humans are God's creation; this divine creation has the sanctity and right to life; the unjustified deprivation of human life, regardless of religion, age, or gender, is an unforgivable error. The fetus, as a potential human being, is also endowed with the right to life. Divine religions, particularly Islam, encourage marriage, childbearing, and the proliferation of progeny, considering it a sacred and desirable act. Thus, preserving the life of human beings—especially children as divine gifts—is both necessary and obligatory. The unjustified termination of life, especially of unborn children, contradicts religious teachings and the philosophy of human creation. The Qur’an and certain narrations explicitly prohibit the killing of offspring out of fear of poverty and regard the act of murder and revocation of life as violations of human dignity.

The unjustified deprivation of human lives, especially children who have not yet entered the world, contradicts religious teachings and the philosophy of human creation; because the Quran and some narrations prohibit the interruption of lineage and the killing of children due to fear of poverty, and consider the killing of a soul and the deprivation of life to be contrary to human dignity.
Therefore, any action that prevents procreation and the multiplication of generations, including the collapse of the family and, among others, depriving innocent children in the mother's womb of life and abortion, is contrary to human nature and is prohibited from the perspective of the Quran.
Therefore, killing children, depriving them of the right to life, and destroying the origin of the embryo's life, for any reason including seeking comfort, fear of poverty, illness, or hardship for the mother (see: Fouladi and Nazari, 1404), is prohibited from the perspective of the Quran; because first, depriving life without any reason is absolutely not permissible; second, as previously mentioned, the formation of the zygote in the womb is the beginning of life, and any assault on it is considered a violation of the divine sanctuary (see: Javadi Amoli, 1385, Vol. 10, p.
Therefore, in light of the Quranic verses and the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (as), humans enjoy the right to life, and its unjustified deprivation from the beginning of the establishment of the sperm in the womb and subsequently in worldly material life is not permissible.
