This research examines comprehensive approaches to child development within the framework of Islamic law, synthesizing findings from a range of studies published in the last two decades. The review explores the multifaceted nature of child development across financial, educational, moral, emotional, and spiritual dimensions within Islamic contexts. Key findings highlight the significance of parental responsibilities in providing for children's basic needs, ensuring equitable inheritance, and investing in both religious and secular education. Moreover, the review underscores the critical role of moral and religious upbringing in shaping children's character and behavior, fostering values such as integrity, compassion, and social responsibility. Emotional and psychological support emerge as essential components of child development, promoting resilience, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Additionally, the review examines the importance of preparing children for adulthood by instilling practical skills, ethical values, and a strong sense of responsibility. The synthesis of findings underscores the holistic approach advocated by Islam, which prioritizes the well-rounded development of children within a framework of justice, equity, and compassion. The review provides valuable insights for parents, educators, policymakers, and researchers in promoting the holistic well-being of children within Islamic contexts.
