Let me share my opinion on the Islamic perspective to this.

In Islam, every creation has a Ghayah (an ultimate end). This is why I argue that a child with a disability is not a biological error: they are also a purposeful creation.

The first thing we look at is the biological timeline. Based on the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the soul is breathed into the body at 120 days. Before this mark, the fetus is a living entity but has not reached full legal personhood as a soul.

If a medical board confirms a fatal condition that is incompatible with life, some scholars allow a choice for termination to avoid unbearable hardship. But once that 120 day mark passes, the child is a full citizen of this world. At that point, the move is no longer about a medical choice. It is about a commitment to a life that Allah has already decided to send.

Again, we have to be very careful with how we categorize disability because not all conditions are the same. A fatal malformation such as anencephaly, where the child cannot survive outside the womb, is handled with a specific legal leniency before the soul is breathed in.

However, for conditions that are life altering but sustainable, such as Down Syndrome or physical limb differences, the Islamic argument is one of patience (Sabr) and spiritual refinement.

Allah says in the Quran that He created humans in the best of stature. This does not mean everyone has a perfect body or a high IQ. It means the design is perfect for that soul's specific journey and test.

A child who may never commit a sin due to his/her incapacity or who requires constant care is a specialized mission from the Creator.

Ibn al-Qayyim argued this in Miftah Dar al-Sa'adah that the existence of "deficiency" in the world is proof of the "Perfection" of the Creator. He made a profound intellectual point: if everything were perfect, we would never know what mercy, completeness, patience, or gratitude looked like. In this context, it forces the parents and the community to practice mercy (Rahmah) and humility.

Again in Islam, there is a paradox in how we look at strength. While the world thinks a disabled child takes away your resources, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that victory and provision (Rizq) come because of the weak among us.

That child might be the secret reason you have a job, health, wealth, or safety. They are not the ones dependent on you. You are the one dependent on the blessings that come with their presence in your home.

If this happens to a Muslim, the next move for a father is to be the pillar (Qawwam) for his wife. He must ensure she feels no shame or guilt. He should realize he has been selected to raise a guest of Jannah. This is a promotion in rank, not a tragedy to be avoided.

You are being asked to guard a soul that Allah specifically chose for your house. Your role is to accept the decree (Qadar) and prepare for a unique gate to Paradise that most people will never have the chance to enter.

Allah knows best.

If you’re a Muslim and this appears on your timeline, kindly retweet it so it can reach those who may not have completed their ṣalāh today. May this act serve as a reminder and stand as a witness for us on the Day of Qiyaamah.

Let me share one parenting tip with you. This one is about how you can build your child's social intelligence. The ability to read what is not being said out loud.

In the psychology of Ibn Sina, this is called Al-Wahm. It is the power of Estimation. It is the faculty that picks up on meanings that do not have a physical shape.

Think about it like this. We all know a sheep right? And we all know a wolf? Now, let’s think about a sheep looking at a wolf. The eyes see a gray shape with four legs and fur. That is just physical data. But the mind of the sheep knows the wolf is hateful and dangerous right away. That sense of danger is not something the eyes can see. It is a meaning picked up by the Wahm.

When you reflect on our discussion of the 7-7-7 rule, scholars say the best time to practice it is during the second stage of development, around ages 7 to 12. However, it could come earlier because some children have naturally wide mental vessels. This is the sweet spot where the brain starts to handle ideas that are not right in front of them.

Here is how you can help your child build their Wahm.

1. Engage them in mental estimation. What do I mean? For example, when you are out at a mall, a park, or anywhere, pick a stranger standing far away. Do not let your child talk about their clothes or what they are carrying.

Ask them to look at the person and tell you if they think that person is waiting for someone they love or if they are just bored and want to go home. This forces the child to stop leaning on the physical data of the eyes and start using their internal senses to hunt for intentions.

2. Learn always to remove the label. What do I mean here? Let’s say you see someone who is clearly upset, do not just say that person is angry. Ask your child what they think the weight on that person’s heart is at that moment.

You could also ask what they thought about the person’s reaction or behavior. By calling it a weight or a meaning, you are giving the Wahm a job to do.

One of your goals as a parent is to build a child who can read a room before they even speak. This is the root of real leadership. It is about not being fooled by the outward form because the internal sense is already looking for the truth.

How often do you find yourself explaining the why behind people's actions instead of allowing your child to search for the motive? Less Discuss in the comments👏🏿👏🏿

Dear Zuha,

I know you are inquisitive about how our religious days fit into the modern world. It is a brilliant question. I will be breaking this down for you so you can clearly see that Islam is not a copycat. It is a complete system with its own deep, independent roots.

Firstly, you asked: if the Gregorian calendar is not real, why do Muslims pray on Friday, and is there a different Friday in the Islamic calendar?

To help you and others understand, we have to go back to history.

Pope Gregory was the one who introduced the Gregorian calendar, and he introduced it in 1582. However, when you look at Islamic history, you will see that Muslims had been observing Jumu'ah for nearly a thousand years before that Pope was even born. If you open classical books of Islamic history such as the Seerah of Ibn Hisham or The Sealed Nectar, the physical proof is right there.

These books documented the very first Jumu'ah prayer held by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 622 CE. It took place in the valley of Ranuna during his migration from Mecca to Medina. In that same era, Allah revealed an entire chapter in the Quran called Surah Al-Jumu'ah, where He commanded the believers to leave their worldly trades and gather. This proves Yawm al-Jumu'ah was a lived reality in the 7th century, over 900 years before the Gregorian calendar existed in Rome.

Now, you might wonder how this connects to the Friday we know today. Frankly, the seven day weekly loop is an entirely different system from how we count solar or lunar months. It is an ancient, unbroken mathematical cycle. You do not even have to take my word for it. Non Muslim historians and sociologists agree on this.

For instance, Eviatar Zerubavel in his book The Seven Day Circle confirmed that this weekly cycle has remained completely unbroken for thousands of years across different empires. The day the Western world decided to call Friday aligns seamlessly with the sixth day of that ancient cycle.

In Arabic, the days are just numbered. Sunday is Day One. Monday is Day Two. The sixth day is Yawm al-Jumu'ah, the Day of Gathering. This means we do not pray on this day to honor a Roman calendar. That is, it was just a coincidental relationship. We pray on it because Allah established it on a divine timeline.

Secondly, you asked: why is Friday night considered so blessed, and what are you missing here?

To understand this, we have to look at the foundations of human existence. Friday goes more than just the end of the work week. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that Friday is the day Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was created, the day he entered Paradise, the day he was sent to earth, and the day the world will end.

This is why the Prophet had a very profound routine. Every Friday during the early morning Fajr prayer, he would recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan. He did this deliberately. These two chapters detail the creation of the universe, the biological creation of man, and the intense realities of the Day of Judgment. Praying these chapters every Friday morning is a divine reset. It reminds you of your origin and your final destination, both of which are tied to this specific day.

Because Friday carries the heavy weight of the end of times, reciting Surah Al-Kahf is your spiritual shield. The Surah contains stories about the ultimate trials of wealth, power, and faith. Reading it provides a divine light that protects your heart from the materialistic noise of the world and the deception of the Dajjal until the next Jumu'ah.

So by this fact, you are not missing anything. You just need to see that we are not following a Gregorian Friday. We are following a divine timeline. Don’t fret.

Allah knows best.
