Is the child a gift from Allah Almighty?
الجواب الكامل (باللغة العربية)
نعم، هو هبة من الله تعالى، والله تعالى يعطي هذه الهبة من شاء ويمنعها عمَّن يشاء، قال تعالى: {لِّلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ إِنَٰثٗا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ٱلذُّكُورَ ٤٩ أَوۡ يُزَوِّجُهُمۡ ذُكۡرَانٗا وَإِنَٰثٗاۖ وَيَجۡعَلُ مَن يَشَآءُ عَقِيمًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٞ قَدِيرٞ}. [الشورى:49-50].
Official Transcript (English)
Yes, children are a gift from Allah Almighty. He bestows this gift upon whomever He wills and denies it to whomever He wills. Allah says: {To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males. Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.} [Ash-Shura: 49-50].
