When a child comes into this world,
the mother cries. Have you ever thought about
a pain
that a mother goes through for this child
to come into this world?
Wow. Labor pain?
You hear a lot of husbands say, if
it wasn't by the will of Allah
and it wasn't Islamic to have children, they
wouldn't let their wives go through that pain.
It's a real pain.
Sometimes the children become a pain also.
Children become a pain in the neck sometimes.
It's a pain all over.
But
there is a blessing for that, that's why
the mother is given that prestige over a
father and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
says the status of a mother, you love
your mother more. 3 times he said your
mother, your mother, your mother came first before
your father.
9 months suffering,
pain, difficulties.
Here, the mother cries and she weeps to
deliver a child something that she wants to
do. Isn't that interesting?
You wanna go through a pain
that is so not logical
for happy feelings to have a child. Allahu
Akbar. See how unique
birth is, life?
Interesting.
Interesting.
You know, I don't have the time to
get into it. Last night we had a
here and I was explaining
when Allah speaks of in
Surah Nisa chapter 4 verse 1 about the
wounds,
and how the wombs are called a place
of mercy,
that a child coming into the world is
a mercy from Allah.
And the whole concept that Allah does not
need a mother or parents
to bring forth a child. It is a
blessing unto man and woman to be parents
and to have a child.
It's an opportunity. It's a favor
because Adam and Eve didn't have a mother
and father.
Allah didn't need a man and woman to
make Adam and Eve.
Allah did not need a man
to produce Jesus, peace be upon him.
He could say.
And just as he created the mountains and
the moon
and the sun and all these species on
earth,
he could have created human beings.
But it's an opportunity for parents to become
parents and enjoy the love of a husband
and wife.
The and to find a peace and comfort
in your wife even though some people find
*.
You go home, you're supposed to go home
to a smiling wife.
Oh, after a long hard day's work when
you go home, you should see the smile
and this welcome. It's like, where you came
from? What you did today? Why you came
home so late? You feel like you're going
to *
instead of going to peace and tranquility.
But that is what the husband and the
wife were designed for, to be peace.
They Allah says they're libas. They're the clothing
for one another. Protection,
calmness,
garments.
Love, peace, tranquility.
So it's an opportunity for the parents to
have children.
Allah gave us an opportunity.
So I just shift
