I was pregnant at 45. It was truly a miracle. It was an easy pregnancy. Even though I had gestational diabetes, I had it under control and did not have a moment of morning sickness. It was a breeze.Then, at 37th week, on my scheduled appointment with my gynaecologist, he told me I had to be induced that same day. My baby wasn’t growing as the placenta was not transporting enough nutrients to her. So, we got checked in, and started the induction process. Let me say, it wasn’t at all pleasant. However, I was very calm and not nervous. The team of nurses and doctors were very professional and explained every detail to me.On the 7th to 8th hour into the induction process, I had dilated by 2–3cm. My first contractions then started. The nurse came to check on me… and repeatedly asked me (with my big belly) to turn left, then to turn right, then left again. This was all in the midst of my contractions … I almost screamed at her to ask ‘WTF for???’ Before I could do it, she spoke into the phone and said repeatedly “triage in room 122” “triage in room 122”…In 3 seconds, the door to my room flew open. I knew at that moment, something was obviously not right. An oxygen mask was immediately strapped to my nose and mouth, a nurse was taking my blood pressure on my right hand, another was doing something to my left, and a doctor was in between my legs checking on my dilation. Another was checking the monitor. Everyone was talking at the same time… it was chaotic and scary. A nurse kept telling me, “breathe deeply, the baby needs oxygen, breathe deeply.”Suddenly, they opened the door and I was flying down the hallway. I could only see the bright lights on the ceiling, feel and hear the wheels of the rolling stretcher. All I could do was concentrate to breathe and breathing as deeply as I could.I knew I needed to keep calm but I was praying and praying desperately “Please keep my baby safe. Please don’t do this to my husband. If anything happens to the baby, you’ll kill him!” My husband had lost his son to a motorcycle accident 9 months ago and I knew he wouldn’t be able to take another tragedy. It was the most desperate moment, my scariest moment. If I lose this baby, I’ll lose my husband too… to deep depression.I cried when I saw my OB/gynecologist, he said, “Lynda, I need to do this emergency C section now. Your baby is in distress and her heart beat is below 50.” I nodded yes. I looked across the room to my husband who was ashen faced, now all gowned up. My whole body was shaking and I had to hold myself and be held tight so that they could give me the necessary epidural injections.Half an hour later, she was born. Came out screaming… 4 lbs 13 ounces. Tiny but healthy. A little jaundiced. My beautiful baby is now 11 years old, 5’ 2”… a joy, a sassy funny girl who’s the love of our life.

Taken fromhttps://islamqa.info/en/67672Praise be to Allaah.Firstly:Reciting out loud in the prayers in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited out loud, and silently in the prayers in which he recited silently, is one of the Sunnahs of prayer, not one of the obligatory duties. But it is better for the worshipper not to go against the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:Reciting out loud in the prayers where this is done is not obligatory, rather it is what is better. If a person recites silently in a prayer in which it is prescribed to recite out loud, his prayer is not invalid, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no prayer for one who does not recite the Essence of the Book (al-Faatihah).” He did not specify whether this recitation is to be out loud or silent. So if a person recites what he is required to recite, silently or out loud, then he has fulfilled his duty. But it is better to recite out loud in the prayers where doing so is customary, as in Fajr and Jumu’ah prayers.If a person deliberately does not recite out loud when he is leading the prayer, his prayer is valid but it is lacking.If a person is praying alone, he has the choice between reciting out loud or silently. He should look at what is more likely to increase his focus and humility in prayer, and do that.End quote.Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 13/73Secondly:The basic principle is that a Muslim is obliged to adhere to the laws of Allaah, without making that dependent on whether he knows the reason or wisdom behind it. That does not mean that he should not try to find out the wisdom behind it, after following the command and adhering to the guidance.See question no. 20785 and 26862.Thirdly:The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:Why do we pray Zuhr and ‘Asr silently and Maghrib and ‘Isha’ out loud?They replied:We do that following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). We recite silently in the prayers in which he recited silently, and we recite out loud in the prayers in which he recited out loud, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):“Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow”[al-Ahzaab 33:21]And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Pray as you have seen me praying.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh.Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 6/394, 395Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz was asked:Why is it prescribed to recite out loud in Maghrib, ‘Isha’ and Fajr, and not in the other obligatory prayers? What is the evidence for that?He replied:Allaah knows best the reason why it is prescribed to recite out loud in those prayers. The most likely reason – and Allaah knows best – is that at night and at the time of Fajr prayer, people are more likely to benefit from recitation that is done out loud, as there are less distractions around them than at the time of Zuhr and ‘Asr. End quote.Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (11/122)Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:What is the reason for reciting out loud in Jumu’ah prayer?He replied:The reason why it is recited out loud is – and Allaah knows best – firstly so as to unite the people behind one imam, because if they are united behind one imam and listening attentively to him, that is a better form of unity than if each one of them were to recite to himself. In order to achieve this the people must all be gathered in one place, except in cases of necessity.The second reason is that the imam’s recitation out loud during the prayer is a completion of the two khutbahs. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite in Jumu’ah prayer soorahs that were appropriate, either al-Jumu’ah and al-Munaafiqeen, because the former mentions Jumu’ah and encourages us to attend the prayer, and the latter describes hypocrisy and denounces its people; or he would recite al-A’la and al-Ghaashiyah, because the former mentions the beginning of creation and describes various creatures and the beginning of divine laws, and the latter describes the Resurrection and rewards and punishments.The third reason is so as to distinguish between Zuhr and Jumu’ah.The fourth reason is so that it will be similar to Eid prayer, because Jumu’ah is the weekly “Eid”. End quote.Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 16/112See also the answer to question no. 65877.And Allaah knows best.
