Nine Months

Nine months
Nine Long months
Nine months of anxiety, fear and hope
Nine months of worry and excitement
Nine months of ifs and buts
Nine months of planning
Nine months of waiting to be united with my own bundle of joy
The day comes when labour arrives
Pain, tears and fears
Longing to meet my baby child
Aspirations of long nights and happy days
Just wanting to feel close to my baby
My baby who kept me contented with every kick he made
My baby who kept me contented for every sickness that I had

The moment comes, and my baby is born
Suddenly everything is dark, and I can hear the faint cries of my baby, my
baby boy
Where is he? Why aren't I holding him? What is the problem?
My baby is taken away, I hold him, he looks so perfect, yet he is so ill.
Oh Allah, please make him better, please don't take my baby away.

My baby dies, just three days later
I know he is much happier now
Allah is looking after him, and he is in paradise in good health
I so desprately want to be with him
I know that he will be waiting for me, longing to be united with me
I pray to Allah that He unites us both in paradise, so that I can be a mother
to my baby boy,
who I carried for nine months, nine long months.

Asalam Alaikum

I want to tell you how much this poem has moved me.

I know that I am not a sister.... and could never know what it is like to have a life growing within me, but I do know the deep sense of loss that can come from a stillborn child.

I have two daughters, Al-hamdu lillah! And they are the apples of my eyes. But I still miss my son, Cyle Reese Reynard. My ex-wife and I struggled over his death for quite a while, and it still haunts me to this very day.

In sha' Allah he is there in Jannah waiting for me..... I want so much to hold his hand and hug him tightly.

*sighs and crys*

Sincerely
Usamah

dear Brother Usamah,
I'm so sorry to hear about your son. You can count on it that you will be reunited in paradise.

I don't know which is harder, having a child stillborn, or having a baby born which gets ill and dies within a few months of its birth. Alhumdulillah, I've never had to go through this, but a friend of mine had a baby prematurely (a little girl called Róisín)  who only lived to be three months old. She already has two boys.

I just thank God that there's none of this nonsense in my head now about unbaptised babies going to limbo. They're all in paradise.

And to think that the Prophet (pbuh) went through this ordeal in his life more than once!!!

Quiz: Does anyone know how many of the Prophet's (pbuh) sons died soon after their birth?

Salaam 'Alaikum

Regarding the Prophet's (sallalahu aleyhi wa salaam) sons:

Khadijah bint Khuwailid, radhi Allahu anha, bore him two sons, Qasim and 'Abdullah, who both died very, very young.

Maria al Qubtia bore him one son, Ibrahim, who died sometime at the end of his first year I believe.
