I don't read Arabic, but a translation of the Koran I has does not say that the mother should wean at 2 years. It says "the mothers shall give suck for two full years". This does not read, at least to me, that they have to stop at two years, but rather that they should continue at least two years. Furthermore, many of the Muslim mothers I have seen continue well past two years, *especially* those who are devout.
