Made ya look! Anyway, many say that every muslim has, what, a dozen kids or so? I have never in my 5 years of being a muslim met one of these people, and don't know any from my travels to Pakistan and Kuwait who had even close to that many, but ok. I personally have two, one of each, and plan to keep it that way.
So why do they say this, and why do the men dream of having large families? The Prophet (PBUH) himself even discouraged having too many children, even though children were loved, in the following quote. What do you think about it?
"The man I most emulate is a Muslim unencumbered; a man of small family, and little money, a performer of prayers and a perfect worshipper of God in private, one who is unknown, and hath enough to supply his wants, and when he dieth, he will leave few women to cry for him, and few legacies."
