This is an article taken from yahoo.com. Perhaps not really an interesting news nor if its really should be taken as news to those who doesn't really trust yahoo (not that I trust the authenticity of the news so much) but the secularism thoughts that people have in these days made me think.
The choices of whether people want to have children or not in their marriage life.
Whereas in our deen, one of the goals of marriage is to have children. Our Prophet will even be pleased with the great number of his ummah on the day of judgment as per in the saheeh hadeeth.
Yes, bringing up and raising the children isn't one easy job even for a full-time mother. But children aren't meant as a hassle regardless if they are the biggest worries in your life. And not everyone will become the ideal type of parents either because of their ignorance (of the sunnah for Muslims), their bad pasts or just the lack of determination; Muslims or non-Muslims. Yet, we muslims strive daily in our life to become better.
For those who do not understand that this world is only a journey to a long lasting life in Akheerah, having children might probably still be a matter of choice. But not for us, Muslims, because we know that children are such a huge blessing to the family and those who managed to raise pious children who will make dua` for them once they are gone, that would become a continuous good deed for the parents.
Just sharing some thoughts.
