Desire to have children

[Interaktive]

Why do Muslims want to have children, but does not want the rich North? Finance for southerners is less, although they multiply better.

Evolution drives all life to reproduce. That is not a label thing. I would say ALL religions turn nature into a utopia comic book however. Even the bible says "be fruitful and multiply". 

Humans evolved to group, and the bigger the group the more opportunity at access to resources and safety in numbers. 

Marriage exists in every religion so this question to me misses a bigger issue that is ignored by far too many humans. Parents teach youth a script, instead of teaching the kid their own comfort level. Many parents and grandparents assume that the child has to get married and should get married. The problem with evolution is that it is not one size fits all, and blindly selling the idea of marriage to a child can set them up for huge problems if they are not self aware enough to think about if they really want kids or not. 

I know for me personally, I bought that societal crap growing up. But now that I am wiser and older, I am glad I didn't have kids and looking back at it now, I never wanted them, but simply thought I did because that is what society expected of me.

They want to have sex. Children are a side effect.

The "I want to have children" software was just not installed on my human hardware. I don't hate kids, I just have absolutely zero desire to have any of my own - I'd even say I have an active desire to not have kids. It does always kind of irk me when my older relatives make little jokes about when I'm going to have kids of my own and I'm thinking "...well you're gonna be waiting a long damn time then."

You could always do the childfund thing and show them a picture of their grandchild.

Religion normally thrives in poverty and ignorance, both of which are also major contributors towards having more and more kids cause children in these cases are a good resource to help the family finances. Social welfares and such are a good motivation for having more kids, plus in places like middle east child labour and child slavery is still a thing.

Welcome to my world.  My mum was always on me about not having kids.  'I would be lovely to give your mum grandchildren.'  'Mum, you have TWENTY FOUR grandchildren!!'

If you interviewed millions of muslims I am sure you would hear millions of reasons why/why not to have children.
