Infertility: Why does Allah Not Bless Some With Children?
As part of the SeekersGuidance Ramadan series, Supplications from the Qur’an, Shaykh Ahmed Sa’ad al-Azhari addressed a sensitive and sometimes painful topic:
Infertility
Why does Allah bless some of us with children, and others not? Is it better to be a happy, childless couple than to be an unhappy pair of parents to a child, who has been sent to test us? When praying for Allah to grant us children, what should we pray for – just any child or one that is a “trust bearer”?
This is a beautiful, concise explanation – just ten minutes, that is sure to move you and humble you.
