You have done well by repenting and seeking forgiveness. However, you should not ask Allah to deprive you of the blessing of a child. Rather, ask Him for pardon, well-being, and the good of this world and the Hereafter. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade hastening punishment and guided us to supplicate for the good of this world and the Hereafter. Therefore, we advise you to take the lawful means to seek a child, such as consulting doctors, increasing your acts of seeking forgiveness (Istighfar), supplicating with persistence, and having a good opinion of Allah.
