I would be lying if I say I don't wish for a son. I remembered years ago. If my memory is still good, I think I have delivered 3 daughters then. My eldest daughter said something like this, 'Along doa dapat adik lelaki'.
I said my little prayer as well. I prayed to Allah that if a son is what is best for us, please grant us a son. I have also put in extra effort as well like Chinese calendar la, ovulation time la and macam-macam lagi. Two daughters later, I'm sure, this must be the best for us. Well, I have to admit that I may have felt a little bit of disappointment when I found out that I'm going to have another girl.
And once, I came upon this FB status on a friend's wall who shared it from a mufti, which I couldn't agree more:
Mufti Ismail Menk
When things do not go exactly the way we wanted, when we do not achieve what we have tried so hard to or when we feel so let down by others then always know that for as long as we have faith and trust in the Almighty, He definitely has something better in store for us, has saved us from a calamity or disaster that would have been in our path or has elevated our status through surrendering to His Decree. We are not considered believers until we are pleased with the Decisions of the Almighty. This will save us from much anxiety and depression. Try your best and leave the rest to Him.
Alhamdulillah, I'm more at peace now and proud to say I have 5 daughters.
Cuma orang lain je yang tanya, tak nak try lagi for a boy? Naahh... my family is complete as it is. I feel so blessed to have these daughters. Alhamdulillah for this tremendous rahmat.
Now, tunggu menantu je la. Dapat ala-ala Seth Tan pun jadik la...:P
