1. Children are not BURDENS, children are blessings from Allah.
2. Choose the heaven that you want to be in, in this world or the Akhira. If you choose the heaven in this world, it’s temporary and not worth it.
3. Yes, you have the authority to choose what you want in life. However, if you’re not acting according to your faith.. you’ll loose Allah’s love. Gaining Allah’s love in this life is NO 1
4. Imagine you are planting a watermelon, you’ll get satisfied after eating one. But if u harvest it’s seeds, it will continue to produce & grow. Who will bring your legacy if you’re child free? Who will continue to have you in their hearts when you’re gone.
Instead of supportung child free marriage, be someone who nutures a child that maybe someday will thank you for bringing him to this world.
On the authority of Ibn Umar (R.A.), who said: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) took me by the shoulder and said:
“Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler/wayfarer.” Ibn Umar added: “When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning, and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness, and from your life for your death.” (Bukhari: 6416)
