For Any Muslim Sisters...I am asking for your duas!

Assalamu Alaikum,

I am so glad (and relieved) to learn there are other Muslims on this app. As fellow Musliminah, I was hoping to ask for your prayers—because there are no prayers more powerful than that of a Muslim, a believer in Allah, subhanna wa ta’ala.

It has been a long road for me. I went though a divorce in my 20s, but did complete a career. I was single for a very long time, and struggled with so many problems trying to find the right spouse.

Alhamdullilah, Almost three and a half years ago, I finally met my husband, and I am so grateful to Allah I was able to get remarried. But, it took a while—I wasn’t married until I was 32, alhamdullilah, I am still grateful. During the past three years, we had some difficulties with work, our job locations, money... it has been really stressful and hard, especially since I wanted to start having kids right away. My husband though, wanted to wait. So wait we did, until finally, he has come around, and our major job problems/money issues have been resolved.

It embarrasses me so much to talk about it because it is humiliating. I was so angry for so long, that he would do this to me, and delay wanting to start a family. But,

I am extremely grateful that at long last we are finally on the same page.

We are 2 months TTC, and I am so scared because of my age. I am turning 36 in the end of May. I wanted to start so many years ago. But, alhamdullilah, I have no current health problems that I am aware of, ideal weight, no bad habits, no smoking/alcohol, I exercise and eat healthy food, etc...

I feel like all my friends, family, acquaintances, etc. (especially Muslim) are all having children, and I am so embarrassed that we are only starting now, after so many obstacles, but alhamdullilah, I am praying to God it isn’t too late. I have always wanted at least 4 kids but I guess at this point, I would be happy with even one!!

I need prayers, from all of you fellow Muslim sisters, to please keep me in your duas, and to keep me away from any hasad (evil eye/jealousy) and nazr. I am concerned this may have been what happened to me a few times in the past.

I will keep you in my prayers, as well, but please I ask for your duas...To be blessed with healthy, and righteous children...

Walaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakhatuhu...
