Life goes on, with or without you. Be prepared for whatever comes your way. When you least expect it, it will test you & challenge you. How you respond will set the tone for the rest of your life. Don’t take things for granted. Be on guard always because Satan is waiting for you to fall.
Tahajjud Competition with My Mother-in-Law ❤️
When I found out I was pregnant, I secretly prayed for a boy. I raised my younger sister like my own child—so this time I just wanted to experience the joy of raising a boy.
But my mother-in-law had other plans. She always dreamed of a girl, but never got one.
She smiled and said, “Let’s have a Tahajjud competition. You pray for a boy, I’ll pray for a girl. Let’s see who wins.”
And from there, we both started whispering our prayers at the end of the night.
First ultrasound… twins!
We both laughed and cried. It was as if Allah was softly saying: There’s no need for a competition. You both won.
A baby girl. A baby boy.
My son was weak and had to stay in the NICU.
But Alhamdulillah, today they are both healthy and turning into three years old—Double our joy, Double the result of our prayers.
*Tahajjud is truly something extraordinary*.❤️
