Finally, she's arrived

Salaams,

Allah be praised during the good times and bad times.

On Friday 7:16pm to be precise a new arrival came into our family. Yes my wife has given birth to a baby girl, weighing in at 7.4 and above all she's just as beautiful as her elder sister. Mom and daughter are doing well.

Please remember xxxx (haven't decided on names yet) in your duas to ensure that she grows up and follows Allah upon the Quran and Sunnah.

If you have any suggestions on names let me know....

Salaams

Diaper Dad, Part Two.

MashaAllah, congratulations.  Awwwwww there are two of them.  That's awesome...they'll be the best of friends, insha Allah.

Girls are harder to name.  But I like the name Rehma.  Or Imaan.  Or Huda.  Or how about (ooh this is a good one)  Omniyah.

Wasalaam.

Mabrook Brother Hanif, what wonderful news  :-* I pray that both baby (2) and mum are healthy and happy. As for names......I've always liked Hania  :)

[center]
Dear Brother Hanif you are again a dad
I pray you have joy and are never sad

Her tiny fingers and little toes
How precious she is, only Allah knows

Now she is baby 'X' as she has no name
To grow up righteous and pious is your aim

I wish your family to be always glad and happy
Even when she is crying and you need to change her nappy  :)

Please tell us when you have thought of a name  :)

As for names, well, I pray you find the right one just for her.  Have always liked the name Huda too.  Maybe Aisha would also go nicely with Fatima?  Like Hanifa too;)  I *know* you will choose a good, beautiful name, that will suite her inshaAllah.

All the best, and pleasant tho sleepless nights with the new one:)

Ps I forgot to ask what is Fatima going to be Baji, Api, Apa....... or something else.....this is important too as it tends to stick

Ever since Attia was born i have been know as baji by everyone, friends my parents and even my grandfather when he was alive call me baji..... just another thing to think of....... :D  For me it seems strange now (after so many years of being baji) if anyone especially younger than me in the family calls me by my name.

Hanif bhai thats so very important, coz my family calls me Nomi.... "Nomi bhai" so our litle fatima ( She is mashaAllah too intelligent for her age ) sometimes calls me the same :( and when i tell her to call me "mamoo" she laughs in a smirky way, calls me "Nomi bhai" a coupla times and then has mercy on me and says "ok mamoo" .. grrr ..

I say "Api" is cute, no?

Hania is the female form of Hani and means [color=Green]Happy, delighted, content [/color]  :)
You have excellent taste wired-up  ;)

Found some  names which I divided into 3 sections. First are names with meaning of righteousness, second are names of Prophet's (saw) daughters (to match with Fatima), third group are 'F' names :)

Haadiya = Guide to righteousness
Huda = Right guidance (Justone meantioned this)
Nazaaha = Purity; Righteousness;Honesty
Sakeena = God-inspired peace of mind; Tranquility

Kulthoom = Daughter of the Prophet (saw)
Ruqaya = Daughter of the Prophet (saw) (someone suggested already)
Zainab = Daughter of the Prophet (saw)

Fadilah = Virtuous, outstanding, superior, cultured and refined
Farah = Joy
Fareeda = Unique, matchless, precious pearl or gem (lala ?)

Never mind the poor tired Daddy, what about the poor tired Mummy? I hope you are doing your share of nappy changing and keeping big sister Fatimah entertained and not feeling left out? Ah of course I know you are...  just joking...

Whatever you decide to call her, I know that your baby girl will grow up to be a wonderful Muslimah, Insha Allah.

Salaams,

After many discussions, sighing and researching we've finally come up with a name. My daughters name is...



                                          Hafsa bint Hanif.

Based upon the wife of our Prophet  [saw] and also the daughter of Hazrat Umar R.A. .  She used to fast throughout the day and worship at night, had strong role models in her life, her dad and her husband Allah be pleased with them.

As for her husband what can I say that we don't already know?. In short her husband was the man that paved the way for women's rights. Before the introduction of Islam, women's rights were violated and still are today. Those with real understanding of Islam would know that the 'best amongst you are the kindest to their wives'.

I admire her father greatly Hazrat Umar R.A., a leader of great moral and religious values, strong in deen and not afraid of saying the truth even at times of crisis. However, a humble leader, a great military planner and a man who would go out in the middle of the night to see how his citizens are doing. Sigh if only we had leaders like Umar R.A. today the world would be a different place.

Anyway make dua that she becomes the coolness of my eyes. Thanks to all of you.

Salaams

Abu Hafsa
