THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 21st day of Zul Hijjah 1439, (Saturday 1st September, 2018). BLAMING OUR WIVES FOR NOT CONCEIVING. BismilLah. ALLAH says in the Quran; The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to HIM. HE creates whatever HE pleases. HE grants females to whomever HE pleases and males to whomever HE pleases , or grants them a mix of males and females, and causes whomever HE pleases to be barren. HE is All- Knowing, All-Powerful.(Quran 42 vrs 49-50). From the above verses we know that nothing happens without ALLAH'S authority. So when ALLAH Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala , in HIS Infinite Wisdom, tests us with a situation that we think is difficult or takes away something that in our mind was good for us, we need to remember that perhaps it may not be so. Perhaps if we had continued in our way, it might have been harmful for us and whatever ALLAH decreed for us is actually better for us, for HE is All-Wise and All-Knowing. ALLAH says: '...and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. ALLAH knows but you do not know.' (Surah Baqarah: 216). Even though you can go to hospital to see a professional doctor if any of the two has any issues, the best is to be patient and rely on ALLAH bcs only ALLAH can grant children not doctors not spiritualist. Sheikh Al-Hasan al-Basri said in one of his books that: 'Do not resent the calamities that come and the disasters that occur, for perhaps in something that you dislike will be your salvation, and perhaps in something that you prefer will be your doom.' Remember that we are dealing with the One who is Arhamar-Raahimeen, the Most Merciful of all that show mercy. All the mercy that we have in this world from Aadam (Alaiyhi Salaam) to the Day of Judgment is only one percent of the Mercy of the Most Merciful. And HE is Most Wise. HE knows and we don't know. So with immediate effect please stop blaming anyone for whatever happens in your life and seek to renew your relationship with ALLAH yourself first. If you obey ALLAH fully, nothing harmful can happen to you except it's a test which comes with better ending be-iznilLah. We ask ALLAH to aid us to be able to understand His test on us and ease our sufferings and grant us our heart desires only if it will be a source of meeting HIM in Jannah. Aameen.
