I never neglected saying a single prayer after my first daughter was born. No matter where nor which location I am in, I never miss a single prayer. It only takes 5 minutes. But during that 5 minutes and after completing my prayers I feel so peaceful and blissful all the time.
Before my marriage I never used to pray. But even after 5 years of our marriage, my wife was still not conceiving any baby. We went to many physicians and Hakeems but nothing helped. We followed everything that our relatives and neighbors told us to do. My wife was so miserable and sad all the time. She wanted to be a mother. But nothing was happening and all our relatives were talking behind our backs!
One evening on the way to the mosque, my father asked me to go along with him to pray. He whispered, “Only Allah knows our suffering and he can comfort us on all our troubles.” I started praying five times and asked for his kindness! In a few months my wife conceived and we had a beautiful daughter and we named her Aysha. Now we have two daughters, Fatema and Aysha.
After that I now never miss a single prayer. Does not matter where I am; I never forget Allah’s blessings and kindness upon us. His kindness and grace have no limits!
