She Conceived After 35 Years Sheikh ’Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh said: "The matter of child bearing is returns to Allāh Almighty, and it falls under His decree in all circumstances. After all, Allāh created Ādam without a father or mother, and He created Ēsā from a mother without a father. He created Ḥawwā' from Ādam’s rib, and the rest of humankind from a lowly fluid. Therefore, nothing is beyond His power. A woman’s delay in conceiving or giving birth does not mean that she will not conceive at all. She may conceive either through legislated means, such as frequent prayers and supplication to Allāh in various forms, or through practical/decreed means, such as using medical treatments or other similar methods. I know of a man whose wife conceived after 35 years, following the supplication of a righteous man after the decree of Allāh Almighty. The righteous man had visited them for a meal, and the husband said to him, "My wife, who prepared this meal, has been barren for 35 years." The righteous man/Sheikh, may Allāh have mercy on him, prayed and said, "May Allāh bless her and grant you a child." He supplicated for her twice or thrice, and nine months later she gave birth. We ask Allāh to bless her and the rest of the Muslims. The point being, this affair returns to Allāh... Zakariyyah described himself saying: {وَهَنَ ٱلۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّی وَٱشۡتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأۡسُ شَیۡبࣰا وَلَمۡ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَاۤئكَ رَبِّ شَقِیࣰّا} "my bones have become brittle, and grey hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord! [Surah Maryam: 4], and despite his wife being barren, the blessed child came by the grace of Allāh Almighty. Thus, when something is within Allāh's power and asking Him for it is not overstepping bounds, feel free to ask him and Allāh Almighty will make it easy and bring it about if He wills. If He does not, then you have still worshipped Allāh through your supplication. When you supplicate to Allāh, you are His servant, just as prayer is an act of worship, so is supplication. Just as giving charity is worship, so is supplication. Just as pilgrimage is worship, so is supplication. Therefore, when you say, "O Allāh," you are worshipping Him. So humble yourself before Him, submit to Him—whether what you ask for happens or not. Never despair of your Lord, as long as there is life in your body, don't lose hope that Allāh will respond to your supplication." @womensbenefits
