An emperor was coming out of his palace for his morning walk when he met a beggar. He asked the beggar, "What do you want?" the beggar laughed and said, "You are asking me as though you can fulfill my desire." The emperor was offended. He said, "Of course I can fulfill your desire. What is it? Just tell me." And the beggar said, "Think twice before you promise anything." The beggar was no ordinary beggar. So he insisted, "I will fulfill anything you ask. I am a very powerful emperor, what can you possibly desire that I can not give to you?" The beggar said, "It is a very simple desire. You see this begging bowl? Can you fill it with something?"
The emperor said, "Of course!" He called one of his viziers and told him, "Fill this man's begging bowl with money." The vizier went and got some money and poured it into the bowl, and it disappeared. And he poured more and more, but the moment he would pour it, it would disappear. And the begging bowl remained always empty.
The whole palace gathered. By and by the rumor went throughout the whole capital, and a huge crowd gathered. The prestige of the emperor was at stake. He said to his viziers, "If the whole kingdom is lost, I am ready to lose it, but I cannot be defeated by this beggar."
Diamonds and pearls and emeralds, his treasuries were becoming empty. The begging bowl seemed to be bottomless. Everything that was put into it - everything - immediately disappeared, and went out of existence. Finally it was the evening, and the people were standing there in utter silence. The emperor dropped at the feet of the beggar and admitted his defeat. He said, "Just tell me one thing. You are victorious - but before you leave, just fulfill my curiosity. What is the begging bowl made of?"
The beggar laughed and said, "It is made up of the human mind. There is no secret. It is simple made up of human desire."
This understanding transforms life. Go into one desire - what is the mechanism of it? First there is a great excitement, great thrill, adventure.
Something is going to happen; you are on the verge of it. And then you have your chariot and your palace and all the diamonds of the world, suddenly all is meaningless again.
What happens? Your mind has dematerialized it. The chariot is standing in the driveway, but there is no excitement anymore. The excitement was only in getting it. You became so drunk with the desire that you forgot your inner nothingness. Now the desire is fulfilled, the chariot in the driveway, the diamonds in your very hands - again excitement disappears. Again the emptiness is there, ready to eat you up. Again you have to create another desire to escape this yawning abyss.
That's how one moves from one desire to another desire. That's how one remains a beggar, in reality it is truly you who is the beggar, your whole life proves it again and again - every desire frustrates. And when the goal is achieved, you will need another desire.
The day you understand that desire as such is going to fail comes the turning point in your life, I am content with all my Lord the most high has provided me.
The other journey is to your Lord which you cannot escape. "He created the heavens and the earth in just proportions and has given you shape, and has made your shapes beautiful: and to Him is the final return." Noble Qur'an profoundly teaches that: Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest! Noble Qur'an (13:28)

Question
I have 8 children, and I have used many birth control and did not work. I have vascular veins in my legs and they may get worse if I become pregnant again. I want to ask if it is permissible to get an operation called "tubal sterilization"?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
If pregnancy harms you greatly and you can hardly bear it and if you fear for your own life and if you have gone through all available ways of temporary birth control but in vain, and you no longer have any solution but to undergo a tubal sterilization operation, then it becomes lawful for you to have this operation as to save your own life and to avoid being confronted with great hardship. Allah Says )interpretation of meaning(: }…And do not kill yourselves )nor kill one another(. Surely, Allâh is Most Merciful to you.{ ]4:29[ and He Says :}… Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. …{]2:185[.
Allah knows best. - -

Question
New Muslimah was wondering what is the ruling on having had my tubes tied and unable to produce any more children. Had this procedure done before converting? Now I feel bad that I can not give my husband anymore children like he wants.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
First of all, all perfect praise be to Allaah who guided you to Islam, and this blessing requires you to be steadfast on acts of obedience to Allaah, seek religious knowledge and keep company with righteous women. We ask Allaah to make us firm on this religion until the day we meet Him.
You should know that it is forbidden in Islam to carry out a permanent birth control ]completely prevent childbearing[ except for a necessity, as this contradicts one of the most important objectives of Islam in multiplying the progeny, because this strengthens the nation and makes it victorious, Allaah willing. However, since you did so before you became a Muslim, then Islam wipes out your previous sins. Allaah Says )what means(: }Say to those who have disbelieved ]that[ if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them.{]Quran 8:38[. Moreover, it is confirmed that the Prophettold'Amr Ibn Al-'Aas: "Did you not know that Islam wipes out previous sins."]Muslim[
Therefore, there is no harm in consulting the trustworthy and experienced doctors in the field as Allaah might bless you with some good, thanks to them, and nothing is hard or difficult for Allaah. However, if the doctors see that there is a possibility for you to get pregnant again, it is not permissible for you to use the means by which you would reveal your 'Awrah )parts of the body that must be covered in Islam( unless it is a necessity for the treatment. In this regard a woman doctor should be in priority over a male doctor, and a Muslim female doctor comes in priority over a non-Muslim female doctor.Al-'Izz Ibn 'Abdus-Salaamsaid: 'It is an obligation to cover one's 'Awrah …but it is permissible to reveal it for a necessity and a dire need, such as doctors looking at the woman for the necessity of treatment.'
Besides, we advise you to expect good from Allaah and not despair from His Mercy, as He may bless whomever He wants with children after availing of all material means. Indeed He blessedZakariyaa)Zachariah( withYahyaa)John(, may Allaah exalt their mention, while his wife was barren and he was very advanced in age. Allaah Says )what means(: }He said, “My Lord, how will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?” He ]the angel[ said, “Such is Allaah; He does what he wills.”{]Quran 3:40[. If this is the case with a barren woman and when all material means are non-existing, so what about when some of these means are available ]like your case[?So you should invoke Allaah earnestlyand choose the best time when your supplication is most likely to be answered, like supplicating when in prostration, in the last third of the night and so forth.
Allaah Knows best. - -
