This study aims to examine the impact of child upbringing and care on achieving sustainable social development by exploring the Qur’anic guidance and objectives derived from relevant verses that emphasize this aspect and its influence on building stable, enduring societies. It also highlights the importance of applying these divine principles in contemporary social contexts to ensure the continuity of social development among community members. The research employs the inductive–deductive methodology supported by analytical interpretation, tracing Qur’anic indications and extracting the objectives related to the topic. The key findings reveal that: Proper upbringing of the young generation is among the most crucial factors for sustainable social development, as it contributes to the formation of stable societies—the foundation upon which human civilizations are built. The family constitutes the primary building block of any society, and thus, of any prosperous civilization. And Reflecting upon the Qur’an, deriving its guidance, and applying its objectives in human reality foster community development, resolve social problems, and sustain civilizational growth. Main Recommendation: Establish specialized research centers focusing on studies that enhance and support sound child upbringing based on correct principles and moral values.
