How Many Children Should One Reproduce?
To my knowledge Quran doesn’t state or recommends how many children to reproduce, but does emphasize to raise them as good Muslims or good person. So based on that a couple can decide how many children they can handle to dedicate enough time and resource to raise them as good Muslims. Marriage in Quran and Islam is to make a family and to raise children. It is important that sooner or later having children need to be in the plan. I think a marriage will either be disliked or perhaps it won’t be considered a marriage if the intention was never to have children. Regarding reference to a specific Ayah for both the answers above, all this is not in a single ayah but the message is spread over several ayahs at various locations.
