			This an infertility has always been in existence. From the very early times, people have tried to
treat this problem. And that's why I've put here problem. Because is it really a problem? We need to
know that it's subjective, whether it's a problem, okay? For some people, that could be a problem,
like a problem. And for some people this, we accept what Allah has written for them. And for them,
it's not a problem. So that's why
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			I put it in inverted commas.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:39
			So people have used all kinds of treatments and therapies, and it's always been in existence in
fertility.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:47
			Really, it's not an illness or a disease. That's why it could be a problem for you, but it's not an
illness.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:11
			It's not an illness. And this is why I mentioned this, and I've already quoted this verse. A
believer should always remember that everything is subject to the power of Allah. And that creation
of life is the exclusive function of Allah, no matter what method and means one employs. If Allah
Almighty does not wish to grandchildren, one will never have children.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:33
			This is the verse Surah 42 verse 4950, Nila human customer what you will have your glaucoma Ayesha.
You have already made your show in artha. But your Halima your shirt was too cool. I will use a
widow whom the Koran and what Inessa weird Yeah, hello my Yasha appea Ma.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:02:20
			In who Aleem on in Hollywood, Adil. To Allah belongs, this is the worst to Allah belongs the
dominion of the heavens and the earth. And he creates what He wills. He grants female children to
whomsoever He wills, He bestows grants male children to whomsoever He wills, or he best house both
males and females. And he leaves barren whomsoever he was, in who are even coded. He's full of
knowledge and power, he knows what's good for you. So Islamically, it is as normal to have only male
children, as it is normal, as normal to have only female children, as it is as normal to have both
as it is as normal to have enough, none no children.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:38
			This is Islamic. It's not an illness. It's not a disease. It's not a sickness. The problem again,
will my brothers and sisters, again, half the time, or majority of the time, our problems faced in
this dunya is because of the
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			commotion around us.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			We've been ingrained.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:58
			And the problem is exacerbated. It's exaggerated, it's made. It's magnified. It's made greater,
bigger, because of all these people around us. A couple came here, they can't have children.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:04
			Okay, the wife is going through heavy depression
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			and anxiety.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:22
			The husband he said to me, the look, of course, this is why I said Is there a problem? Of course
everyone has a desire, we all have desire, we all want children. It's a natural human nature. So
there's that's why I put in inverted commas. It couldn't be a problem
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			that this problem
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			of infertility
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:53
			can be magnified by other people around us. And that's what I was saying. Classic example. The
husband said to me that you know what, of course, we naturally want to have children. It's been
seven, eight years since we've been married. We've been trying we can't have children. Of course, we
want to have children. But we could have accepted it to an extent or we're trying to we're going to
do you know, read about those means and you know, some treatments.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:15
			But the problem is that the reach has become so depressed is because everybody in the family is
making a difference. And she doesn't want to go out of the house. She feels like embarrassed or
pressure that people will ask her and this is where all the cultural baggage that comes into our
communities of being very nosy.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:52
			So every time she goes out, oh, when's the good news coming home? How many years we might still
nurture and we're going to have children will come on Wednesday. Good news. Give us a good news. Oh,
there it is. And the you know, granddad's and the grandmas and although everybody Mind your
business, like it's not a question, Gerald, keep on asking as well. How many children and when
you're gonna have children? Honestly, I never asked that question. When you're going to have
children, however, it seems to be married. It's okay. It's everyone's different. Leave it to people
don't just worry about your own self. And that makes it more difficult for people. This is what I
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			was
		
00:04:54 --> 00:05:00
			trying to say basically, it's in the hands of Allah. That depression anxiety can come from a
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:07
			other people making it difficult because they keep on asking the question. Now a couple of Facebook
in this situation can do the following things
