There are no coincidences.

Am sitting here listening to the call to prayer.
My children are asleep in the next room.
The sounds of his words and their breath, melodies to my ears.

In a day I once more have to say goodbye to my youngest son. In two weeks take my daughters to visit their grandparents in UAE for the very first time. My ex doesnt want to give me custody of our 5 year old son, though by law here he should be mine till age 7, then chooses for himself where he wants to be. Islamic law dictates my daughters are now supposed to go to the custody of the grandparents and uncle in UAE that they've never met.

It's ironic. I used to say I'd bleed for my children. Give my life and world for them.
I've been in and out of specialist hospitals now for over a month with what they have decided is 'dysfunctional uterine bleeding'. it's left me physically weak. Most days I sound awful.

I internalize everything.
Having been abused, find it hard to outwardly show my frustration or anger. Am frightened of anger. Of it being an expression of loss of control.
I think my body decided it would grieve for me.

With others, I continue throwing love at unloving people and circumstances. I'd like to believe all people and circumstances can be softened by love.

I want to walk a right path. Perhaps an idealist, I believe faith, God, and love will always win. Even if I lose....sometimes.

I prefer to give than to ask. Right now, I ask your prayers. That God give me strength, whatever in His wisdom I am meant to endure, and that if I lose my children, one day He will see they are returned o me.

Listen to the song titled 'Sacrifice' by Lisa Gerrard & Pieter Bourke. It left tears in my eyes.

Beloved, you are in my prayers; that you may be protected and blessed, that you will be healed, that no one should suffer abuse, violence, aggression, that G will heal our cultures and this world and bring us the peace that we all truly want.

May you be blessed and may your children learn the ultimate lessons and be forever the purest love.

My children will be leaving me for 2 and 1/2 months this summer to go with their father to Jordan. I am terrified at the thought of them being away that long.. and know that it is only a tatse of what's to come in the future.. I try not to let them see how much it upsets me.. I want to travel to Palestine to be with them for at least part of that time but can't afford the ticket as my income stops with the end of the school year.. I read your blog and felt a connection from over the sea.. May Allah give us both strength to endure what was, is now, and what is to come.. and may there be ease along our paths and our children's paths..

I want you to know that I feel for you and what you're going through, and you have my prayer and my hope that you have not only good luck, but that things work out for the best for you and your children. I can't imagine my child's fate being dictated by a law, that may or may not be in the best interest of the children. But perhaps, no matter what happens, you can make the best of the situation, and remain close to them and a positive influence in their lives. I suffered greatly in my divorce. Not just from the loss of love, but the tearing apart of the family and having to divide the time with my daughter when I wanted to be with her always. So I made sure that things were of the best circumstances possible between me and my daughter, me and my ex wife, and so on. That way the transition was always as smooth as humanly possible, and I was welcome to visit, eat with, etc, whenever I wanted to. And of course when I had my daughter with me, I extended the same invitation to my ex. After the dust of the divorce settled and cleared, the sacrifice paid off, and my daughter is outstanding and is shared equally, without any spite or game playing, between me and my ex. I know that every situation can't be so easily obtained, but perhaps if you are faced with this painful separation, you can convey to the grandparents that you respect Islamic law, and you appreciate and respect them taking part in raising your children, but that it is terribly difficult for you. And that the pain that you are feeling is not towards them, but just the fact that you will tremendously miss your kids. And that you are hoping that they will respect and honor you and your feelings. Maybe they can do their best to make the transition for you and the kids as easy as possible and more importantly have the best interest of the needs of the children. Either way, if you need anything, or just to talk, please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you and your children the best, and I pray that things will turn out fine for all of you. Take good care of yourself. No matter what happens, your children want and need a healthy mother. A hug and lots of love and warm wishes to you.
Your Friend Always,
Joe

Allah is with the Patient. In troubled times hold on to patience inshallah.

Not sure where you are living now however a muslim is subject to the law of the land, thus if your children are in the USA maybe you can find help through the courst syste. As far as I was aware its a dads responsibilityto maintain the children. And when they are mature ( of age) then they should ideally be with the father. There are no hard n fast rules except that you will be subject to the law of the country in which you married.

Ma salams

I Know You Have Prayed For Things To Change. Do Not Be Dismayed. RAMAN Is The MOST MERCIFUL...HIS Mercy Extends Beyond All Bounds Of Mercy, Beyond Any Mercy Any Man (Male Or Female).

As I Know You Have Already Decided, For It Is Easy To See That You Love To Write, Be Sure To Write Your Children. Be Sure To Do Things! The Best Cure For The Aching Heart Is Adventure. Do Not Sit In Your Misery, Do Not Bind Yourself To The World Based On Your Immediate Surroundings! Travel...Do What You Can To See The World Our LORD Has Made. This Will Give You Many Things To Write To Your Children About.

Keep Them Posted And Interested On Who You Are! Inspire Them With Your Endevors. See That A Time Will Come When Your Children Will Grow And Have Their Own Test Of Faith (Burdens) To Deal With. Our LORD Is Preparing You For Something! Now You Grieve, But In The Future You Will Be Greatful Of The Lessons Learned From Your Grief.

As It Is When Learning The Divine Messages Of Our LORD (HIS SCRIPTURE) The Best Of Knowledge Is Learned Through Actually Living. Our LORD Is The CREATOR Of Life; It Is Through Life That HE Teaches Us.

As HE Has Made HIS Creation From The Earth, HE Plants In Us The Seed Of Knowledge, It Is By Faith That We Water This Seed. From This Seed HE Brings Forth The Fruits Of HIS Wisdom. With The Fruits Of HIS Wisdom We Are Then Able To Feed Others. See That Sometimes Tilling The Soil Is Rough! In Other Words, Sometimes We Must Face Hard Times.

To Get Nothing Is Easy, To Gain Everything That Is Truly Valuable Is Always Hard! (No Woman Gives Birth Without Going Through Labor...Right?)

Hold To Your Faith. With The Appreciation Of Our LORD Face The World. Travel As Far As You Can Go.

Our LORD Is GREATNESS UNBOUND! HE Has No Beginning And No End!

May Our LORD Bestow Upon You HIS Guiding Light, So That You May See Clear HIS Signs.

A-Salaam.
