[19&20/27] #TheRamadanSeries ✍🏽 — #wordprompt : [19: #fear / 20: #dream] __ I was inspired to write something similar to the beautiful series that @_jxffrin writes, ‘things I’ll tell my children’ : photography was inspired by the talented @j_rahman_ : & the transformation I’m currently undergoing trying to navigate #motherhood . . . Minutes before iftar at the masjid, a few days ago, our little precious articulated the words from ‘amma’ to ‘mamma’ 🙊✨ YES AS YOU CAN IMAGINE MY EYES GOT ALL WATERY! (He’s already been saying ‘dada’ & ‘baba’ for a while now Alhamdulilah so for him to call me like that out of the blue was 🤯!!!🙊!!!) . . Yesterday while lil one sat peacefully on my lap, taking in surroundings, he exclaimed excitedly, ‘dada!’ — I turned to look where his little gaze has fallen only to notice my husband walking from a distance - HE RECOGNISED HIS DAD FROM AFAR WITHOUT MY POINTING HIM OUT & CALLED HIM BY HIS NAME 😱🤯😳 I WAS STUNNED BEYOND RECOGNITION! MY BRAIN COULD NOT DIGEST! HOW?! 😲 ⁉️Allahuma Baarik Lahu 🤲🏽✨— it’s been dizzyingly eventful lately but I can’t help but be infinitely grateful for being witness to these beautiful little milestones in this beautiful blessed month ✨ . . {I was also inspired by the meaning behind ‘Al-Latif’ (Al-Laṭīf لطيف) is one of the names of God in Islam, meaning "Kind"} . . #chasingsakina / #writersofig / #embracingmotherhood / #parenting / #muslimmummy / #moodyaesthetic / #cardiff / #naturephotography / #canonphotography / #canoneos100d / #moodygram / #poetsandwriters / #writingdaily / #ramadanreflections / #gratitudejournal / #fightingperfectionism / #atelephobia / #forgetful / #experimentingwithwords / #cardiffphotographer / #islamicpost / #islamicreminder / #mindfulness . #selflove / #selfawarness / #hopesanddreams (at Roath Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxr37H5jBzu/?igshid=qm47wvawtk64
