WHO Recommendation in 21st centuryWHO strongly recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. At six months, other foods should complement breastfeeding for up to two years or more [Ten facts of Breastfeeding 2008, WHO*]
Quran Revealation in the 7th Century
Allah gives the best advice regarding breastfeeding.
“Mothers shall breastfeed their children for two whole years, for such as desire to complete the term ......." ( 2:233)
When Allah the most Wise gives the most perfect guidelines mankind refuse to follow and obey. Only when human organizations after centuries of research come up with the same conclusion that breastfeeding should continue for up to 2 years for the best optimal health of the baby and child then men appreciate the truth and acknowledge Allah's wisdom.
As in the guideline given for breastfeeding all other commands and recommendations from Allah serve as the most perfect guidelines for societies in this world and for individuals because Allah created us and He knows best what our problems are and what the solutions are.
