My child soon to pop out,

Here I'm with you inside my tummy.

Sometimes
Like a popcorn popping
Or goldfish swimming in a pool

Or like butterflies fluttering
You are here inside me

هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ ۚ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِي

He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He wills. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Dear

There is no guarantee,
I can be a mother
Or not
I can see you grow
or not
I can hear you called me mom
or not

We only
Pray
Hope
Prepare
Dream
Plan

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنشَأَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ ۗ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَفْقَهُونَ

It is He Who has created you from a single person (Adam), and has given you a place of residing (on the earth or in your mother's wombs) and a place of storage [in the earth (in your graves) or in your father's loins]. Indeed, We have explained in detail Our revelations (this Qur'an) for people who understand. Al-An'am:98

But rarely people
understand

Verily Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things). Luqman:34

As

Our Arif Billah have said:-
We plan this and that
Only little did we know
What we have is ONLY today
Tomorrow is never absolute
Will come
Or
Will we ever make it?

وللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ ۖ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِندَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ

Allah knows what every female bears, and by how much the wombs fall short (of their time or number) or exceed. Everything with Him is in (due) proportion. Ar-Rad:8

Here I'm
Carrying you
There is nothing absolute yet
Nothing to be proud of
Since its nothing about me
Or you
Everything is all about Allah
Returning to HIM
As a slave
We are
Since from the very beginning
We are
Having nothing

وَاللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّن بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۙ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

And Allah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allah).ٍ "Surah Ar-Nahl:78


Dear

Can you listen to the beautiful ayah above
Don't ever forget
We come from nothing
Allah give us something
Soul-Ruh
Breath
Fingers
Body
Eyes
Ears

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَإِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِن مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ ۚ وَنُقِرُّ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوا أَشُدَّكُمْ ۖ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُتَوَفَّىٰ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِن بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا ۚ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ

O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. the offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh - some formed and some unformed (as in the case of miscarriage) - that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth)

When at first we started from nothing
And have nothing

So dear child

Tough I never know
I have a chance to be a mother or not
Please be remember of these ayah
That I keep reciting
That keep makes me shedding my tears
On the realization
Of how weak we are
Of how nothing we are
As a servant
As a human
Of GREAT Allah is
As Our Lord

He knows you well when He created you from the earth (Adam), and when you were fetuses in your mothers' wombs. So ascribe not purity to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him [i.e. those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious.)An-Najm:32

Thus

Don't ever
Don't put yourself up
Don't be arrogant
In front of HIM
or
In this world

He indeed
Is A GREATER Creator
Be humble
Be obedient
Be fair
Be sincere
Taqwallah

As you gonna return to him
Only bringing your heart and soul
Returning to ourself
To a complete
And
Absolute
Nothing

Me,

Mom (not so really sure) to be

S.Abd Aziz

What's happening now with...

Your child - 27 weeks

Due date: January 13, 2011

October 14 - October 20

THU	14	Leg cramps hit hardest in the second and third trimesters. Try massaging the pain away, walking it off, or maybe taking magnesium supplements.
FRI	15	In some areas, waiting lists at coveted childcare centers can last an entire school year. You may want to start looking now.
SAT	16	How are you feeling? Compare aches and pains with other expectant moms in our community.
SUN	17	Although you can still benefit from exercise later in pregnancy, it's time to think about tapering off just a little. And you'll need to stop completely if you have any of these conditions or warning signs.
MON	18	Your baby is about 14.4 inches long, weighs about 2 pounds, and is opening and closing his or her eyes.
WED	20	Try to figure out your baby's daily routine. Is he or she more active when you're settling down at night or when you're up and about during the day? Maybe even play some music for your baby when you know it's action time.
