Today I learned that Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahulla) never married. It made me reflect on how Allah writes a different story for each of us; some leave behind children, others leave behind knowledge that lives for centuries🥹

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

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.

the quality of salah at its earliest time is so much better than when you pray it late

"I have a boyfriend" doesn't stop them.
"I’m married" doesn't stop them.

However, “I love luxury and expensive things"

that one clears the room every time.

Being rude to me unprovoked really wakes up the menace buried deep inside. Like I choose to live my life on cutie patootie juice but it’s some four loko back here somewhere. Let’s be very clear

[ᴇᴍᴍ_ʙᴜᴅᴅʏ @emm_buddy]

Eid ul Adha is a reminder that nothing should be loved more than Allah. Not a person. Not your desires. Not this dunya. Because the story of sacrifice was never just about ibrahim[AS] and ismael[AS], it's also about us and what we're willing to give up for Allah.
