When I tell people that I’m uncompromising when it comes to my children, they often press for clarification. Beyond acknowledging that children are a sacred trust (Amanah) from Allah, I’m committed to raising them according to the principles of pristine Islam.
As you cherish your children, remember those who face challenges in this regard. Sisters often ask me for advice on how to cope with a husband struggling with infertility, and I’m often at a loss for words. This is because the reality is harsh and unforgiving. It’s difficult to advise someone to leave their spouse, and ultimately, the decision rests with the individual.
I’ve had the privilege of meeting men who acknowledge the sacrifices made by their wives in such situations, and it’s essential to recognize that blame is not the solution. Infertility is a significant challenge that demands empathy and understanding.
Couples facing this trial should seek help without delay. Procrastination can exacerbate the issue, leading to further complications. May Allah ease the struggles of all those navigating this difficult reality.
