Abstract
The role of the motherhood is the most important factor in individual and social life of the human beings. Mother willingly and /or, unwillingly, plays her role in the destination of child via various factors. Some of these factors are experimental whereas, some not. Undoubtedly, what is not in the domain experimental science cannot be grasped but, via revelationary guidance. This article studies the role of unexperimental factors which are related with mother in the embryonic period. Awareness of these factors can be affective in two domains: the first one is a need to a divine school to explain the vital role of mother and, its efficacy in the physical and spiritual health of the child, before birth; the second is a multilateral awareness of the affective factors in the process of the growth of the child, from coagulation of sperm to end of life which is more than the one that physicalists emphasized on.
This research would be an introduction to the religious anthropology and, developmental psychology based on Islamic teachings. The approach of this article is intra-religious in which the teratogens from Islamic teachings’ point of view are analyzed.
A survey on the Islamic texts shows that the vital role of mother on fetus from coagulation of sperm to end of this period begins with physical and metaphysical factors and, it continues to the end of life. Therefore, there are some obligations for parents, specially, mothers to observe both physical and spiritual rights of the child as a heavenly trust. This article tries to clarify these rights of the parents.
