What's that? I am thinking about number of children i should have. At 27 years old (yess..old!!) my biggest concern about being single is wasting my prime years to give birth. I am ok in terms of family & peer preasure or living wise. I just make a poker face when ever people asked about marrige and said 'InsyaAllah, one day i will".
Alhamdulillah, I can support my family & myself. But, i can't deny that the days, months and years that passes means i waste my youth & healthy body to bear children. Which are the precious things that no money can buy. No matter what, I pray to Allah to give me the best in life. Whether i am going to get married tomorrow, next year, next 10 years or die being single, it's all in Allah's hand.
Well, back to the main point. My personal preferences is 'the more the merrier'. (But not too many if i can't rise them in good condition). The biggest concern of parents nowaday is about money. Some sees a child from a material point of view & think it's a burden. How unfortunate for those who have that line of thinking..because Allah has promised that each child born have his/her own share of wealth in the world. Anyway, another important thing is that once we died, nothing will be useful anymore..not the money in the bank, not handsome husband or beautiful wife, not the big banglow and not even the luxury cars that we drove. There will be only three useful things:
Some people may not be fortunate enough to be wealthy & give a lot of charity, or have the opportunity and brain to share their knowledge. But, most people have children. So, please, lets believe in Allah's promises and have lots of children. Never limit your family members just because you worries about things that you have no control of. Pray to Allah & rise the children in Islamic ways, then InsyaAllah, they will become pious son and daugthers...then...you will be wealthy in the hereafter with their prayers for you. InsyaAllah.Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased).Hadith Sahih Muslim
