A STORY...
Fatimah stared blankly at the indicator strip in her hands.
Two parallel blue lines. She flipped the box back and forth
in her hands as she searched for the instructions. Was she
really pregnant? Fatimah’s heart began to race. She thought
of the tiny life growing in her belly...
She smiled, cradling her hands as she thought about what the
future held for her and her family...
Yet, despite her happiness, a single thought lingered in
Fatimah’s mind:
Was she prepared?
SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY
Take a step back from the picture we just painted here. Who
is Fatimah? Why does she seem so familiar?
The truth is, there is a little bit of Fatimah in all of us.
Whether you are newly married, expecting your first child or
an experienced mother, we all find . same narrow path; we
are busy people! Indeed, we are busy doing anything and
everything but planning for the future.
So what happens when the future arrives?
We are hit with a wave of worry. But is worrying the
solution? Of course not!
There is no magic solution. There is no window into the
future. Your future is not guaranteed.
But the real question
isn’t about tomorrow; it’s about TODAY.
What are you willing to do today that
will take you
closer to living the life you want...
 |
To educate yourself about fertility
|
|
|
To planning and preparing for a baby |
|
|
To addressing the issues and challenges of pregnancy and
birth |
|
|
To learning how to deal with the death of a child or a
miscarriage |
What is stopping you from planning to be the best sister,
wife, mother (to-be) you can be... right now?
THE FUTURE IS NOT IN YOUR HANDS, BUT PLANNING FOR IT IS.
As Fatimah sits wondering what the future will be like with
her baby, she could be proactively planning for the type of
pregnancy she wants. You have two options:
- Agonize through 9 months of pregnancy, or
- Seize the opportunities and time available to make your
dreams a reality.

UNLEASH... THE MOTHER IN ME
Like Fatimah, many of us take parenthood for granted. We
assume that things will simply “fall into place” as it had
for our mothers. But is this really the case? Does “leaving
it in the hands of Allah” really mean doing nothing at all?
The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam advised his ummah to
practice the art of proactive planning: “Tie your camel,
then place your trust in Allah”.
What camel is there to tie?
Whether you are actively planning to get pregnant or simply
looking to better understand your body, Allah subhanahu wa
ta’ala has commanded us to do everything we do with
excellence. She who fails to plan, plans to fail!
FROM DREAM... TO REALITY
Your eyes are closed and you can’t believe the day has
finally arrived. 9 months of trail and toil have finally
come to an end. The baby you’ve dreamt of for so long is
finally resting in your arms.
“Welcome to the world, baby. I’m your Mum”.
