I dedicate this series to the love of my life, my daughter, and that's why it's called to my daughter, my dear unborn daughter. I remember the first time your mother told me that she came from the doctor and said, Honey, I have some good news. The doctor told me I'm pregnant. I'm frustrated to thank Allah Subhana Allah, Allah for the gift he's given me. I placed my hand in her tummy.

And I felt a kick. I put my ear down, I start listening. I start talking.

I was fantasizing about the day that it will be called the father for the first time.

I remember the day that you will be calling me Father, I'll never forget that day.

I forget what it felt like for a long time to hold something in my hand.

I have held a lot of things in my hand before but I've never held anything like you.

I remember the day that I waited for that day to walk you down the aisle. I'll never forget the time that you smile to my face, for the first time

took the misery away from my life.

I'll remember the day when you raise your hand up to be held.

I'll never forget that you will own my heart right there. And then I will know it too.

I promise you to be there for you when you arrive in this world.

And I promise to hold your hand and never let go.

Most people when they asked me what is the number one decision you have to make in your life, and most of them say it's marriage actually is not.

Number one decision in anyone's life is to have a child. Number two is to get married. So when Allah subhanaw taala blessed us with a child, we understood that it is for make it or break it for us because it's a hadith of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Kaffir be muddy. If men are eudaimonia, quote, it is sufficient of a sin for those who lead astray who you have as children. So number one, writes for you upon me, my dear

is choosing your mother.

I remember it has an embassy, Rahmatullah Lee.

When a man came up to him, he said, Please help me to raise my child. He said, it's too late, says What do you mean it just a newborn child? Is please help me to raise them? Is that is too late. For the third time you repeated the same statement is How could you say that he says raising the child is by choosing the mother, you understand that the statistics show that a man will only spend 20 to 60 minutes a day

where their child

that's why I will choose the one that will nurture you, the one that deserves to be your mother, the one that will take care of you. And I promise you, I will not be the dollar sign that

I remember, I was in a different country in a different city. And we're lucky for the first time I said this story to my class. I said about that man that came from work.

And her child, the child came running toward the door and wanted to hug the Father. And the father was angry and tired. He pushed the child away. And the child went home, crying.

And the father now recognizes that he made a mistake. He goes back to the child's room and knocks on the door is please forgive me, my child. What is it that you wanted to ask?

He said that I just want to ask you How much do you make an hour?

He said I make $20 an hour.

He said that? Here's $20 Can I have one hour of your time?

And will law he when I heard that story. I promised myself never to be $1 sign that and I changed my life. I changed my schedule. I changed everything to make sure that I will spend time with you. Because I do and I remember the time I came from work I couldn't hardly wait to just hold you put your my chest

and go to sleep.

And I promise you to give you the tools to be able to fight our biggest enemy. You know that Allah subhanaw taala warned us about him in the Quran. We stated
