You complete me

Every married couple dreams to have a child.

Children complete the life of a married couple.

But sometimes, we are wondering why some couples are not blessed with children not by choice.
Sometimes, if not most of the time we could not understand the Divine Plan.

This ayat in Holy Quran gives some perspective of the Divine Plan

Bagi Allah jualah hak milik segala yang ada di langit dan di bumi; Dia menciptakan apa yang dikehendakiNya; Dia mengurniakan anak-anak perempuan kepada sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya dan mengurniakan anak-anak lelaki kepada sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya.
Atau Dia mengurniakan mereka kedua-duanya anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan dan Dia juga menjadikan sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya: Mandul. Sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui, lagi Maha Kuasa.
(Asy-Syura :49-50)
