Maybe at this point they seem like a hassle to you, but in reality if one is physically fit enough, they should have children, as soon as they can, because of sooo many reasons, recuperating fast as a mother( healthwise) being one of them. I think having children can teach you so much about Allah swt, marvelously increases your patience, makes you a better person. Besides who would want to miss out on having jannah at their feet by being a mother :D . I guess one may need to make their mind up about them, it is also the sunnah of the prophet to have children.

There is a hadith that goes something like " dont stop having children, or kill them for the fear of not being able to provide for them, for it is Allah who feeds all his creations and every time you have a child, your sustenance will increase. Every child brings his own fate to this world."

I find this to be really true, no doubt. Parents sometimes just over worry about sustenance , where-as Allah swt says that "I have promised you your Rizk ( sustenance, what you eat, live by) and I have not promised you jannah, why is it then you worry so much about where the next meal is going to come from, and little about whether you will go to jannah?

There was a re-search sometime ago comparing the immunity systems of children of poverty stricken areas( dirt infested) and those of very clean areas, ( urban class, privileged) and the astounding result was that children from poor areas had much better, healthier, stronger immune systems than those of urban areas. So, one must have faith in Allah swt, our Prophet was orphaned around the age of 6, was he( nauzubillah) any less of a proper human being? No he had a good upbringing, and had good sustenance SubhanAllah.

I know people who have waited too long to build their careers in order to increase their income, and then when they wanted children, they could not have them despite trying so hard.

Only Allah swt knows best though. Pray for Him to make your heart like children more and not fear them so much, well I say that because of experience , i didn't like children so much either but when my own sister had them, I could not believe what it makes you feel to have been blessed with a child in your family, it is a very blissful feeling subhanAllah, it just changes you. I loved taking care of them, and I was able to learn so much around them, since you have to watch your actions all the time infront of kids hehe so it was a really good experience Alhamdulilah. ( esp when a lil boy of 3 tells you innocently but resolutely, (insert name) " you cant do this khala you know Allah swt does not like it, He will be angry with you and punish you! ( i wasn't giving him the cookies : p ) "

Coming from a kids mouth, they are very powerful words, definitely work for me! :)

Peace and blessings upon you sister, may you be blessed in what ever is the best for you. If incase one prays for the children, one must never forget to pray with the qualities they desire in their children ( i want obedient, pious ,healthy , normal cute kids lol (the cute was optional )and lastly we would lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve to see such a beautiful person's kids :D

After bringing up ten kids of my own, I still say that it is worth it. I would like to have some more if someone would volunteer to give a hand.

It all depends on the number of wives you have : p. if you've got 4, then 10 is not a big number . But with one, it is quite an ordeal in this day.

Currently ThisOldMan is in the blissful state (some people say) of wifelessness. So it is going to be a problem having more children without a wife. So ... I think you get the idea what kind of help I will be needing.

No but, you said you have 10 children, that must've happened somehow ??:hiding:

I mean you did have a wife before who bore so many of them, ( never heard of english women being so... fond of....so many kids hmmm, unless she was from suburb or some village, maybe I was wrong : ) )
 
( I don't like this hammer smiley, its so stressful :P we need more creative smileys for hiding and more : ) )

Only way that could have have happened is by having a wife, of course. Being presently wifeless does not necessarily mean that I never had a wife. Just curious. Why wouldn't English women want to have so many kids?
 
I don't know, it kind of always seems that they are a stressful society and since both parents have to work to make ends meet, they opt for lesser number of children, in order to manage them well, unless they are living in a big house somewhere. Kind of a lifestyle option for them? ( offcorse there must be those who are ok with children, there are no fixed generalizations : ) )
 
:sl:

As I said, kids are fine as long as they are someone else's. That way I can teach them all kinds of things and not worry about the consequences. Let their parents deal with that.

;D
 
Salam Alaikkum to all,
Alhamdollellah for all the blessings, for the good day, for good health, good job, good family, for the total peace.Alhamdollellah, cant count them.

So I am back, of course nothing is in our hands, only Allah swt can give and take anything in life.

So today we feel like we are praying for a child, inshallah :)

I just turned 26!!! finally I could admit I'm 26 & a bit scary, I thought if I really want a child why soo much delay it... so we are hoping inshallah we will have one, in time. Since we got married, this is the first time we will try :)

I remember when I was so young I prayed to Allah not to have a child until I reach 25. Alhamdollellah, Allah is so good. I am not a teenage mom. Alhamdollellah rabbil Alameen

Brothers & Sisters, please spare your time and pray for us. May Allah bless us with a healthy & a true Muslim child/children only. May we be blessed with a child that will stregthen our family. May we as future parents inshallah live long & healthy enough to raise our future child/children and most importantly, really most importantly, may we all die as real Muslims. Amen

Thank you (still scary tho, but not as much back May 2011 :) )
 
dear sister.. having a child is blessing from Allah
yes it is hard work ,yes its a big responsibility,you have sleepless nights,and when they grow up ,they live their own lives often away from you ...but they are a part of you like not even a husband or wife can be ..they belong to you


some people want to wait think its not the right time..yet others are crying because they cant have children

we worry too much about will we have enough money ,willl he be a good muslim ,will they have a good life...yet this is all in gods hands

do the pooor people in syria and palestine think well maybe this child will be killed ,will they have food and clothes, no to them hildren are a blessing

this decision to have children or not ,is part of the modern ,western mentality ,where if oyu cant provide everything your not a good parent

do children need most expensice clothes,all modern technology ,private schools ..no they need love ,a good upbringing and caring parents


may Allah bless oyu wiht healthy children
 
i have an amerian friend a muslim revert,who has nine children and already 8 grandchildren ,and in her 40s...mashallah
life has been hard at time ,but now she has all these grown up chikdren to care for her and will never be alone in this world
 
Salam Ukhtee, thank you for your email, really appreciated.

You bring a very good point there about Palestine children, may Allah help us all,Amen
