Understanding Your Identity in the Eyes of Allah
Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh. Often, children born out of wedlock may feel like they carry a burden or curse. However, the Islamic teachings provide clarity and reassurance, ensuring that such individuals are not considered haram or regarded negatively. This article aims to explore these ideas and offer guidance to those searching for understanding and peace.

Almighty's Care and Plan
No matter the circumstances, every child born of a woman is special to Allah. It is critical to maintain faith and remember that every individual, regardless of their background, is planned by Allah with a specific purpose. Allah, in His infinite wisdom, has a plan for everyone, and it is crucial to trust in this plan.
It is important to understand that your existence is not a result of any wrongdoing but a divine plan that was in place long before you were born. Allah warns, 'Allah will forgive you, if you forgive those who wrong you, and put your trust in Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.' (Quran, Surah Al-Ankabut, verse 60)

Labels such as 'haram' or 'halal' do no justice to the essence of your identity. You are a human being first and foremost, created by Allah, and the product of a misunderstood situation. Allah does not hold individuals accountable for circumstances that are out of their control. It is essential to focus on personal growth and living a life of faith, regardless of the circumstances of your birth.
As someone born out of wedlock, you are not alone. Many individuals, regardless of their past, go on to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Your potential as a person is limitless, and it is up to you to make the most of it. Remember, the essence of your humanity does not depend on your birth circumstances but on your choices and actions in life.
Forgiveness and Redemption
Allah is merciful and accepting of all forms of repentance. Even if your parents have committed sins, it is important to understand that Allah does not hold you responsible for their actions. In Surah Nisa, verse 135, Allah states, 'And those who repent after that and reform — indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.'

It is vital to trust in Allah's plan and to focus on personal growth, seeking forgiveness and guidance. Remember, the best gift of life is the chance to be a Muslim, and every individual, regardless of the circumstances of their birth, can achieve greatness through faith and righteous actions.
