KUR'AN I MALTUZIJANSKA TEORIJA
QUR'AN AND THE MALTHUSIAN THEORY

Summary/Abstract: This paper outlines the essential thesis of British theorist and economist Thomas Malthus on geometric growth of population and arithmetic increase of food production and its recommendation which he presented in his article titled “An Essay on the Principle of Population” on his ideas how human race will survive due to the alleged lack of food. Although, by the science, rejected as false, Malthusian thesis is active in modern civilization, even among those who had never heard of him. The author proposes some artificial ways to reduce the population, as well as some shoddy policies on the growth of population in some regions of the Northern Hemisphere and Australia. The second part of this paper brings a sort of Qur'anic population "policy", i.e. the belief that strongly refute inhuman Malthusian theory, especially that part in which he advocates massive reducing of population on the Earth, which is already being done by current medical inventions, surgical abortions, contraceptive tools, artificial insemination, cloning and designing.
