This research examines the childfree phenomenon in the millennial generation from an Islamic perspective. The research method used is library research with qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Childfree is an agreement made by a husband and wife not to have children during their marriage. With the normative approach of the Qur'an and Sunnah, it can be seen that having offspring is a recommendation in Islam, not an obligation. So that childfree is not included in the category of prohibited acts, because every married couple has the right to plan and manage their household life including having children. Nevertheless, even though there is no verse that directly prohibits childfree, as a human being who believes in Allah SWT, the choice to be childfree can be said to be an unwise choice because Allah SWT guarantees the survival of each of his servants. In Islam children are seen as a gift to be grateful for because children are a gift from God. Every human being who is given the mandate to be a parent must carry out this role properly and in totality.
The story of the Prophet Yusuf as ahsanul qashas (the best story) which is enshrined in the Qur'an. The story of the Prophet Yusuf is a story that has a wealth of meaning and learning in all aspects of life. This article attempts to analyze the richness of meaning contained in surah Yusuf which is related to the levels and expressions of the nafs. The research method in this article uses descriptive qualitative with a library research approach. Theoretical analysis uses the perspective of Tafsir Al-Mishbah by Quraish Shihab. The purpose of this research is to answer how the expression of nafs and levels of nafs are contained in the story of Prophet Yusuf and Zulaikha. The results of the study show that the nafs in the story of Prophet Yusuf and Zulaikha are distinguished by two tendencies: First, the level of anger in Zulaikha's personality and behavior which is depicted in obedience to lust and following the devil's temptations. Second, the levels of muthmainnah and radhiyah nafs in Yusuf's personality which are described by calm, obedience, peace, and fortitude in going through every test given by Allah SWT. The study in this research is limited to the story of persuasion planned by Zulaikha.
