this incident kinda really disturbed me…its kinda sad…
hmm…this family i know of…they are two brothers…both have been married for a couple yrs now…the older brother doesn’t have any kids, him or his wife have some medical problems…
the second brother recently had a child mashallah…
there’s this superstition, i dont know if u guys have heard it, that the first female to hold a new born baby becomes a mother soon…so usually married females who are childless are called to hold the newborn first…
the wife of the first son is a very independent, cheerful, beautiful lady…i’ve never seen her sad or depressed, she’s always dressed up well, appears happy and confident, and is usually in a good mood…mashallah…
i wasnt present at the hospital but i heard that when the baby was born to the second brother’s wife everyone called her [the first brother’s wife] to hold the baby, as per the superstition, so that she would become a mother soon…
and when she held the baby in her arms she started crying so much and so badly…that they had to force her to stop crying…and console her…
…
…
hmm…
we know her quite closely and she has never let on that she is sad abt the fact that she didnt have a child…i mean mashallah she has a very strong front to the world…mashallah,
but this made me think that everyone has such deep problems in their life which make them soo sooo sad and in their heart give them a deep deep sorrow…subhanallah…Allah has so many different ways of testing each of us…He gives each of us our share of worries and difficulties…
at the end of the day its not about worldly circumstances at all..
everything…EVERYTHING…is abt your relationship with Allah, and the afterlife…this world is sooo temporary and soo…i dono…irrelevant almost…
