Happy Muslim Mama: New Arrival to the Family

After much waiting and worry, my younger sister Fashionista has been blessed with a little girl. Healthy, with a good appetite and sleeping well alhamdulillah.  We are all over the moon. Despite the long labour and then going on to have a cesarean anyway, Fashionista is recovering well.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed holding her for the first time. She reminds me of my youngest two as babies. I firmly believe that your brother’s and sisters’ children are your children and I have always tried to conduct my life and relationships according to this – whether with my nieces on my side or nieces and nephews on my husband’s side.  They are all mine: in my prayers, in my concerns and I hope I can always be there for them insh’Allah.  So, of course I am over the moon and in love with this lovely little addition to our family.

May Allah (SWT) bless her with good health, long life and much happiness. May she be a source of joy for her parents, pride for her family and benefit for the Ummah insh’Allah.
