Re: Having A Baby When Single…

B**ut even more so, whenever I see a single mother like this, I wish I could have gotten to her BEFORE this mistake was made. We have to **start educating our girls! 12 years old is the critical age. That’s when they need the most teaching. Girls need to know everything about how babies are made, and everything about birth control, aids and all that. A girl needs to be told that she, and only she, is in control of her body. A girl needs to hear that she is valuable, so precious, and that she should demand her full worth. A girl needs a space where she can ask questions. A girl needs to know that she is the mother of creation, that this is God’s gift to her, and with it comes great power, and also great responsibility./**B]

I have a daughter, she is only eight, and we speak of these things. Because I want her to hear them from me first. Keep talking to your girls. Don’t expect that they will learn these things through osmosis.

As for Sa’eeda, her life will not be easy. But then again, it has never been easy. Whenever I see her, she says alhamdulillah, praise and thanks be to God! Her full trust is in God’s care. Her trust and God’s subtle mercies, those are the wealth that never runs out.
