Understanding Miscarriage




Imagine this: A woman discovers she is expecting a child. She tells the happy news to her spouse, friends and family, daydreaming about the child she will soon hold in her arms. Then suddenly, she discovers symptoms that tell her all is not well with the pregnancy. She may have pain, cramps and bleeding. She is rushed to the doctor, where she is told that the pregnancy will not continue normally, she will lose her unborn child. She may have to undergo surgery or take medicines to get her body back to its pre-pregnancy state.
This condition, commonly called a 'miscarriage' may have happened to you, or someone you know. Doctors estimate that 1 out of every 4 pregnancies run the risk of miscarriage. Understandably, it is a time of grief and loss for the expectant woman and her family. She may even ask herself: Why me? What did I do wrong? What have I done to deserve this?
 
In some cultures, there are many superstitious beliefs that blame miscarriage on a number of external factors like watching a scary movie or having a bad dream, being startled suddenly, walking in a particular area at a certain time, eating some specific kinds of food or someone casting a spell or an 'evil eye'. It is natural for an expectant woman to unconsciously blame herself for a miscarriage and old wives' tales like these may make her feel even worse. 
 
Causes
Medically speaking, there are a number of reasons why a woman may suffer a miscarriage. Some of the physical factors that can cause miscarriage are:
 
    •       Genetic Defects
Sometimes, a couple may suffer from genetic defects which are transferred to the unborn fetus. Genetic defects do not show up in ordinary ultrasonographs and a couple must undergo a special blood test called 'karyotyping' to see if their children are at risk.
    •       Endometriosis
This is a common condition of the uterus which affects 1 out of every 5 women. About 43 percent of women diagnosed with endometriosis may have miscarriages due to hormonal imbalances.
    •       Luteal-Phase Defects
This is a common cause of spontaneous abortions, and usually happens very early in the pregnancy due to lack of production of progesterone. 
    •       Uterine Defects
There are certain malformations of the uterus that can contribute to miscarriage, such as unicornuate uterus, septate uterus, and bicornuate uterus. These conditions can be diagnosed by a doctor and treated surgically once they are diagnosed, to avoid recurrent miscarriages.
    •       Adhesions
Adhesions are abnormal growths in the ovaries and uterus which may cause miscarriages. However, they can be treated surgically.
    •       Fibroids
Fibroids are muscular growths inside the uterus that can cause spontaneous abortions. A medical procedure called 'myomectomy' can remove the fibroids from the uterus and prevent miscarriages.
    •       Incompetent Cervix
This is a defect of the cervix which prevents the pregnancy from going to its full term and causes late miscarriages.
Apart from these physical causes of miscarriages, there are many other reasons like infections, exposure to hazardous chemicals at the workplace or household pesticides and lifestyle factors like stress that may cause miscarriages. A recent study says women who consume more than 200 milligrams of caffeine are at greater risk of miscarriage, as are older mothers (from the age of 35 upward).
 
Pre-conception care and prevention
Women cannot do much about some risk factors, such as previous miscarriages and advanced maternal age. However, there are steps that women of all ages can take to lessen other potential risks. Sometimes, a woman may undergo a miscarriage even before the first pre-natal medical checkup, so pre-conception care goes a long way in promoting a healthy pregnancy and preventing miscarriage. 
 
Doctors advise women to take prenatal vitamins and minerals like folic acid and Zinc and avoid second-hand smoke. Women are advised to maintain an ideal body weight since obesity is believed to increase the risk of miscarriage. Eating undercooked meat or fish and fish with high levels of mercury and certain soft cheeses which may contain bacteria should be avoided in early pregnancy.
 
Cleaning the litter of household pets or exposure to patients suffering from communicable viral diseases like chicken pox and rubella can increase the risk of exposure to potentially deadly parasitic infections leading to miscarriage. Sometimes multiple or frequent pregnancies and assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization may cause recurrent miscarriages.

Experience of a Canadian woman


Many may ask why a young, Canadian-born, Caucasian woman would embrace a religion that not only supposedly oppresses women, but takes all her freedom and independence and treats her as a second class citizen.
I reject such accusations and pose to them the following question. "Why is it that so many women who have been born and brought up in the so-called 'civilized' societies of Canada, USA, and Europe are willing to reject their liberty, and independence, to embrace a religion that supposedly oppresses them and is widely assumed to be prejudicial to them?" 
As a Canadian revert to Islam, I can only present my personal experience and reasons for rejecting the freedom, that women claim to have in this society, in favor of the only religion that truly liberates women by giving us a status and position which is completely unique when compared to non-Muslim counterparts.
 
As a child growing up in a non-religious home, I often asked my parents if there was a God, who is He, and where did He come from? Their response was always, believe in what you want to believe. This confused me, because many of my friends had religions, and I never understood why I didn't.
 
I remember when I was six or seven years old, I attended Sunday School, at a Church with a friend a couple of times. I found it very boring. I didn't feel comfortable around the other children, and felt pressured by the instructor and other children because I didn't know anything about Jesus Christ, may Allaah exalt his mention. Feeling this way I stopped going to the Sunday school, and continued growing up without a religion, with no knowledge of God, which made me feel very lonely. 
 
It wasn't until I was in high school when I learned about religion in my social studies class, and remember vividly how my teacher told us women in Islam have no rights, women are denied education, must be circumcised, and how women must obey men, otherwise, the men can beat them.
 
This made me think
No matter what this teacher said, something in my mind kept telling me this couldn't be true. Ironically, around the same time I was learning this, I met a Muslim, named Khaled (who is now my husband) at the place where I worked and asked him about what my teacher said. He was shocked to hear the school boards were teaching this about Islam and told me they were all untrue. When discussing this with my teacher in front of my fellow students, the teacher told me that my source is wrong, and he has the information in his books, otherwise he wouldn't be teaching us this stuff.
 
My teacher pretty much made me look stupid; however some of my friends believed me. I continued talking to Khaled at work about Muslim women and was very curious about the role of Muslim women. I have to admit that I never agreed all the time with what Khaled said, but I was also a non-believer at that time, and never understood fully what Islam was. I was (and still I am) always fascinated with how the Muslim women would cover themselves, they always seemed to have the look of peace on their faces. I would never have guessed that I would one day be one of those ladies who is fully covered. 
 
Two years later, Khaled and I were married and had our first child, Al-Hamdulillah. It wasn't until one year after my second child was born, Al-Hamdulillah, when I began to feel depressed and adrift, feeling a large spirituality void. I felt there was a big chunk of my life still missing. This was when I began to read about various religions, and it wasn't until I bought a translation of the Holy Quran when I finally understood the true meaning of life, and that there is none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah). The Quran answered all the questions I was looking for, and some that I never even thought of.
 
One week before the holy month of Ramadan, I taught myself to pray, memorized two suras (Quranic Chapters), and said my Shahadah (Testimony of faith). I no longer felt adrift and I believed in Allaah. It was like having the feeling and guidance from Allaah. 
 
Wearing the scarf for the first time made me feel as though I had more peace, I was someone, not only a someone, but a Muslim. I was (and am) protecting myself from all evil. I felt a lot more close to Allaah, because He has ordained women in the Noble Quran to cover themselves.
 
I know in my heart that it bothered my husband a lot to have a wife who did not only embrace Islam, but to see her practicing it when he wasn't. My husband and I have no differences anymore in terms of raising our children (as Muslims), and have never been so happy since he and I started practicing Islam.
 
My life has changed a lot since I embraced Islam (all for the best), and I'm loving every minute of it! I recommend it to everyone out there, whether a Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, to pick up a copy of the Noble Quran and to read not just some of it, but all of it. May Allaah give everyone the strength and courage that He has given me during the past year.(islam web)

Why I embraced Islam ?





Mrs. Cecilia Mahmuda Cannolly (Australia)

Why I embraced Islam ?
First and foremost I would say it was because fundamentally I had always been a Muslim without being aware of it.
Very early in my life I had lost faith in Christianity for many reasons, the major one being that whenever I questioned any Christian, whether it was a person belonging to the so called Holy Orders or a layman, regarding any point that puzzled me in regard to the Church teachings, I invariably received the monotonous answer : `You must not question the teachings of the Church; you must have faith.' I did not have the courage in those days to say : `I cannot have faith in something that I do not understand', and, from my experience, neither do most of the people who call themselves Christians. What I did do was to leave the Church (Roman Catholic) and its teaching and to place my faith in the one true god in whom it was much easier to believe, than in the three gods of the Church. By contrast with the mysteries and miracles of the Christian teaching, life took on a new and wider meaning, no longer cramped with dogma and ritual. Everywhere I looked I could see God's work. And although, in common with greater minds than my own, I could not understand the miracles that happened before my eyes, I could stand and marvel at the wonder of it all --- the trees, flowers, birds and animals. Even a new born babe became a beautiful miracle, not the same thing that the Church had taught me to believe at all. I remembered how, when a child, I gazed at newborn babies and thought, 'It's all covered in black sin', I no longer believed in ugliness; everything became beautiful.
Then one day my daughter brought home a book about Islam. We became so interested in it that we followed it up with many other books on Islam. We soon realized that this was really what we believed. During the time I had believed in Christianity I had been led to believe that Islam was only something to joke about. Thus all that I then read was a revelation to me. After a while I looked up some Muslims and questioned them on some of the points that were not quite clear to me. Here again there was yet another revelation. My questions were all answered promptly and concisely, so different from the frustration I had experienced when questioning Christianity. After much reading and studying of the religion of Islam both my daughter and myself decided to become Muslims, taking the names of Rashida and Mahmuda respectively.
If I were asked what impressed me most in the religion of Islam, I would probably say the prayers, because prayers in Christianity are used wholly in begging God (through Jesus Christ) to grant worldly favours, whereas in Islam they ar used to give praise and thanks to Almighty God for all His blessings since He knows what is necessary for our welfare and grants us what we need without our asking it.)islam web)

اسباب مشاكل البشرية ترك الاسلام ومحاربته


والله! ما أحرق البشرية لفح الهاجرة القاتل، وما أرهق البشرية طول المشي في التيه والضلال إلا لمحاربتها للإسلام، وإلا لمعاداتها للإسلام، وإلا لانحرافها عن دين الله جل وعلا الذي أنزله الله للبشرية؛ لتسعد به في الدنيا والآخرة على السواء. فإن العالم كله اليوم محروم من نعمة الأمن والأمان، على الرغم من كثرة الوسائل الأمنية المذهلة، وعلى الرغم من التخصص العلمي المذهل المبني على العلوم النفسية والاجتماعية؛ لمحاربة العنف والجريمة في كل مكان، بل وإن العالم محروم من نعمة الأمن والأمان على الرغم من كثرة الأسلحة النووية والبيولوجية والسرية، بل وعلى الرغم من كثرة أحلافه العسكرية، وعلى الرغم من كثرة هيئاته ومنظماته، فبترك الإسلام حرم العالم كله من نعمة الأمن والأمان. بل إن ملايين البشر ينتظرون الموت الآن في كل لحظة؛ لأن الوسائل الأمنية التي اخترعتها البشرية النكدة البعيدة عن منهج الله تحولت إلى وسائل لإبادة الجنس البشري بين غمضة عين وانتباهتها، فتحولت وسائل الأمن إلى فزع ورعب!! إن ملايين البشر ينتظرون الموت في كل لحظة، فقد ضاقت الدنيا في وجوههم على الرغم من اتساع الأرض هنا وهنالك، بل واسودت الدنيا في أعينهم على الرغم من كثرة أضوائها، بل لا يجدون لقمَ الخبز على الرغم من كثرة الأسواق المشتركة العملاقة، وعلى الرغم من كثرة الأموال، بل ولا يشعر العالم كله الآن براحة النفس واستقرار الضمير وانشراح الصدر وهدوء البال، كل هذا نتيجة لانحراف البشرية المنكودة عن منهج الله جل وعلا، عن هذا الدين الذي رضيه الله للبشرية كلها لتسعد به في الدنيا والآخرة، كما قال جل وعلا: فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشْقَى * وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى * قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا * قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنسَى * وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ وَلَعَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَى [طه:123-127]. وهذه نتيجة حتمية للبعد عن منهج رب البرية، وللبعد عن منهج سيد البشرية صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهي نتيجة عادلة للإعراض عن منهج الله تبارك (الشيخ محمد حسان)(الشبكة الاسلامية)

If I were asked what impressed me most in the religion of Islam, I would probably say the prayers, because prayers in Christianity are used wholly in begging God (through Jesus Christ) to grant worldly favours, whereas in Islam they ar used to give praise and thanks to Almighty God for all His blessings since He knows what is necessary for our welfare and grants us what we need without our asking it.)islam web)

اسباب مشاكل البشرية ترك الاسلام ومحاربته


والله! ما أحرق البشرية لفح الهاجرة القاتل، وما أرهق البشرية طول المشي في التيه والضلال إلا لمحاربتها للإسلام، وإلا لمعاداتها للإسلام، وإلا لانحرافها عن دين الله جل وعلا الذي أنزله الله للبشرية؛ لتسعد به في الدنيا والآخرة على السواء. فإن العالم كله اليوم محروم من نعمة الأمن والأمان، على الرغم من كثرة الوسائل الأمنية المذهلة، وعلى الرغم من التخصص العلمي المذهل المبني على العلوم النفسية والاجتماعية؛ لمحاربة العنف والجريمة في كل مكان، بل وإن العالم محروم من نعمة الأمن والأمان على الرغم من كثرة الأسلحة النووية والبيولوجية والسرية، بل وعلى الرغم من كثرة أحلافه العسكرية، وعلى الرغم من كثرة هيئاته ومنظماته، فبترك الإسلام حرم العالم كله من نعمة الأمن والأمان. بل إن ملايين البشر ينتظرون الموت الآن في كل لحظة؛ لأن الوسائل الأمنية التي اخترعتها البشرية النكدة البعيدة عن منهج الله تحولت إلى وسائل لإبادة الجنس البشري بين غمضة عين وانتباهتها، فتحولت وسائل الأمن إلى فزع ورعب!! إن ملايين البشر ينتظرون الموت في كل لحظة، فقد ضاقت الدنيا في وجوههم على الرغم من اتساع الأرض هنا وهنالك، بل واسودت الدنيا في أعينهم على الرغم من كثرة أضوائها، بل لا يجدون لقمَ الخبز على الرغم من كثرة الأسواق المشتركة العملاقة، وعلى الرغم من كثرة الأموال، بل ولا يشعر العالم كله الآن براحة النفس واستقرار الضمير وانشراح الصدر وهدوء البال، كل هذا نتيجة لانحراف البشرية المنكودة عن منهج الله جل وعلا، عن هذا الدين الذي رضيه الله للبشرية كلها لتسعد به في الدنيا والآخرة، كما قال جل وعلا: فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشْقَى * وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى * قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمَى وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا * قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آيَاتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنسَى * وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ وَلَعَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَى [طه:123-127]. وهذه نتيجة حتمية للبعد عن منهج رب البرية، وللبعد عن منهج سيد البشرية صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهي نتيجة عادلة للإعراض عن منهج الله تبارك (الشيخ محمد حسان)(الشبكة الاسلامية)
