Children are the future of tomorrow. Future development and progress depends on the proper care of the child. A country's children can play a key role in transforming a country from a developing country to a middle-income country. Child abuse in various forms has become a daily occurrence in Bangladesh in recent times. Although there are provisions in the legal framework of Bangladesh to protect the overall rights of children and to prevent all forms of abuse and torture, abuse against children is increasing gradually. Not surprisingly enough, the importance of children and their rights are well defined in Islamic law. Employing descriptive and observational analysis methods this article has endeavored to explicate the laws of Bangladesh and Islamic injunctions to prevent child abuse. The author submits that the combination of religious and moral education with the proper implementation of existing laws is absolutely necessary to prevent child abuse.
