What about women who don't have children in this life? Are they not blessed?
So what's really important to remember here is that blessings can come in different forms for different people. And we learn this from Surah Al-Kahf whereby one of the stories Allah tells us about a child who was taken away from his parents. Now Allah then explains that later on as to why that happened because the child would have grown up. He would have caused lots of difficulty for himself, lots of difficulty for his parents and so on. And because of that Allah then removed that child from his parents and then those parents were gifted something different. They were gifted children later on. Now the lesson from this, one of the lessons is that sometimes Allah will hold something from you or temporarily withhold something from you because he knows it's not the right time for you or it's not the right thing for you. So the key thing for us is whatever happens in our life, the highest level of Iman in terms of believing and putting your trust in Allah is being pleased with what Allah has decreed for us. Always be pleased with what Allah has given us or not given us.
