There is no directive in the Qur’an that encourages Muslims to have more children. There is a hadith in which the prophet suggested to marry a women who can produce more children as he will be taking pride in the number of his ummah.
This hadith can be understood in the historical context when more number of Muslims were required to counter the overwhelming opponents. That was not a permanent directive for all ages.
