Comment:

This news is yet another example of the unsuccessful attempts of European countries to solve the problem of the extinction of their populations.

Here, first of all, I would like to draw attention to some quotes from the text of this news, which serve as eloquent markers of the failure of Western culture in raising the birth rate among its followers.

So, the news story talks about Maria Karlsson, a single working mother who is raising a three-year-old son. Her own mother has been helping her with this since the birth of the child, and from now on she will be doing this with money from the Swedish government.

According to a representative of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, the new law is aimed at promoting gender equality. Social Security Minister Anna Tenje, who introduced the law, hopes that Sweden will become an example for the whole of Europe. She also believes that the law will encourage young people to have children, but also to remain in the labour market and lead an active working life.

In fact, the situation described above is typical for a huge number of mothers in European countries.
It is significant that a single mother raising a child is unable to understand that she is under pressure from her government, which is introducing concepts of gender equality and persistently working for her to remain in the labor market and lead an active working life. It is significant how Allah has struck with blindness these people who see happiness in leaving their child, even to a grandmother, and going to work in pursuit of a career and a desire to assert themselves in the eyes of the whole society and especially in the eyes of the child's father (who most likely abandoned them).

These governments have been reduced to the point where they are forced to pay money to grandparents to encourage young people to have children.

Undoubtedly, increasing the birth rate in the West is only possible by rejecting the idols of the modern democratic world. These are concepts such as gender equality, personal freedom, and the promotion of a consumerist lifestyle.

It is these concepts that are an insurmountable obstacle to solving the problem of decreasing birth rates. After all, the utopian concept of gender equality has deprived women and families in the West of the natural desire to have healthy, numerous offspring. Personal freedom and consumerism corrupt the younger generation and make it incapable of creating strong families, which are the core of any society.

Unlike the Western world, in the Islamic world there is no problem of the so-called retirement age, since Sharia has established strong laws that correspond to human nature and ensure sustainable development.

Thus, the Prophet (saw) encouraged having many children. And as a result, there is no problem with pensioners. Because half a dozen children of any elderly parents easily provide them money, often without even needing help from the state.

The Sharia of Allah has established laws that clearly divide the responsibilities between husband and wife, thus ensuring strong families for which divorce is an extreme exception.

A Muslim woman, having the right to employment according to Islam, has never felt the need to go to work, because the obligation to provide for her and her children is imposed by Islam entirely on the husband. If she does work, then her salary is her property, which she is not obliged to spend on the family and the husband cannot force her to do so. This is why the level of employment of women in the Islamic world is extremely low. This is not at all connected with the infringement of women, as Islamophobes try to present it.

To solve the demographic problem, modern Europe needs nothing less than a rejection of capitalism, which is the real reason for the impossibility of solving this problem today. It is the rejection of capitalist ideology that will allow Europe to increase the birth rate, when the number of children in European families reached 6-7 children, as it was until recently.

Unable to give up their corrupt values, the Swedish government, in its efforts to increase the birth rate, is like a mountain that gave birth to a mouse.
