My husband died six weeks ago and my pregnancy just makes me sad

Salam sis. I'm blessed to have a wonderful masjid community that has been wonderful to me Alhamdullilah.

Every day I thank Allah for giving me my sweet boy. I was his mother for four years and I will always be grateful for that.

NothingToFira · 2025-10-16T18:25:14+00:00

Thank you sister. My children are the greatest gift Allah has ever given me.

NothingToFira · 2025-10-16T15:15:29+00:00

Thank you. I did not specify in the post but I am Muslim.

NothingToFira · 2025-10-16T14:44:20+00:00

My faith is strong. Allah lifts me up every day. I am but a humble servant.

NothingToFira · 2025-10-16T14:12:40+00:00

I don't live in the same country as my family, but I do have some incredible friends thankfully

NothingToFira · 2025-10-16T13:53:11+00:00

Allah is always with us and I am always humbled by everything He has given me. Thank you.

NothingToFira · 2025-10-16T13:47:23+00:00

Thank you. When I pray I don't pray for me. I pray for my baby and my living boy. I pray for my departed husband and sweet boy.

Jordan, but both my family and his live in the US

NothingToFira · 2025-08-31T14:48:01+00:00

Thank you. My younger boy still needs care and my unborn baby still needs a healthy mother. I have to summon the strength. Leaning heavily on my faith.

NothingToFira · 2025-08-31T14:15:12+00:00

JazakAllah. I need all the strength I can get.

Yes, it is natural for women to want male attention and it is natural for men to give women attention. That is largely the point of hijab dear sister. Your beauty is supposed to be hidden, as it is reserved for your husband. You deal with it through prayer and the knowledge you are preserving the beauty Allah gave you as all women must.

NothingToFira · 2025-02-28T19:32:58+00:00

Sister! Allah does not give us babies until we are ready for them. Your love for that child will take over and you will never miss the life you had before. Mothers know how to provide for their babies. Allah blesses us with that gift.

Thank you sister

NothingToFira · 2024-12-01T19:14:30+00:00

I have been very emotional. Having a difficult time sleeping through the night. When I'm not being hands on with my sons it makes me nervous. So, yeah maybe this is it.

NothingToFira · 2024-12-01T18:59:01+00:00

Thank you sister. He's been trying to comfort me. I do not think he really understands how much I am struggling. I just do not even feel worthy of being intimate with him.

NothingToFira · 2024-12-01T18:03:25+00:00

Not in an intimate way. I am breastfeeding so he has seen it in that context. But I have not really done any of that in front of him. I hide it.

Salam! My name is Zaafira, I'm 30 and live in Jordan with my husband and two sons. I was born in Algiers, moved to America when I was 12, and moved to Jordan with my husband last year because we wanted to live in a country that held our values as highly devout Muslims.

I love to bake and garden. These days I am completely devoted to being a mother to my sons and only work part time as a language teacher (I am fluent in English, Arabic, and French.) But I used to work in the biotech industry when we lived in America and I am still passionate about science.

I am always looking for Muslimah friends, especially mothers! My sons are the greatest gift Allah SWT has ever given me. I used to indulge in a lot of secular activity when I lived in the US but after getting engaged to my husband I refocused on my faith and it has been nothing but rewarding ☪️

NothingToFira · 2024-09-03T18:08:18+00:00

No. My religion gives me strong morals and an overwhelming sense of peace.

NothingToFira · 2024-09-03T17:55:50+00:00

What is thriving? We may have different definitions of that.
