Today's is international mother language day #21february #ekusheyfebruary to commemorate all the lives lost in Bangladesh that fought to preserve our mother tongue of Bangladesh (বাংলা) or Shohid Dibosh (শহিদ দিবশ) aka Martyr's Day... But another reason why today holds such great joy is that this morning, my wife, Sabia Mou, and I took our first step towards #parenthood and her pregnancy test came back positive for being pregnant #Subhnallah! We will go to the doctor's next week to confirm but I ask for everyone to keep us in their prayers that this isn't a false positive! And I can unofficially say that: I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER! #ALHUMDULILLAH #SUBHNALLAH #ALLAHUAKBAR (at Emory Woods Apartments)

Today, February 21st, Bangladeshis around the world are in observance of Omor #Ekushey (অমর একুশে), a day in remembrance of the people who lost their lives and for the millions who protested in 1952 to protect and keep the beautiful language of Bangla (বাংলা) as the language of its people. This movement (http://bit.ly/1dVEchh) not only paved the way toward the independence of Bangladesh in 1971 but inspired UNESCO to declare February 21st as International Mother Language Day (http://bit.ly/1fl4ARM). As a Bangladeshi who was born in Bangladesh but grew up in America since age 6/7, I am so grateful that my parents taught me at an early age how to speak and write in the Bangla language, where Bangla was only spoken at home so that we wouldn't forget our mother living America, introduced me to all of our traditions, customs, attending cultural functions to celebrate Bangladeshi holidays and also shared with me the country's history so that I understood all the sacrifices that were made to preserve Bangladesh's rich cultural heritage. Today, Bangla is ranked #7 of the 1st language speakers and ranked #11 including 2nd language speakers http://bit.ly/1dVD25b) with ~208 million who speak Bangla (189 million as their 1st language, 19 million as their 2nd language). I'm celebrating (in spirit) with my sisters and brothers around the world. অমর একুশে and Happy International Mother Language Day! - মোহাম্মদ ওয়াসিম উদ্দিন A lot of the facts was taken from সুমাইয়া কাজী (sumaya kazi) thank you! photo: The #Shaheed #Minar, a national monument to commemorate those killed during the Bengali Language Movement (at Shaheed Minar, Dhaka)

There are some things in life that just come to you when you least them... therefore, don't try to force something that just isn't meant to be... just let go, and let Allah swt manifest what you were set on earth to do, inshaAllah! Like this hadith says, prayer is a light, charity is proof, and patience is illumination... to me, it's means, hold dearly to your prayers, especially istikhara, follow the golden rule, show the kindness to others that you want done onto you, and have the patience to know that if something is not meant to be, to let it go, so what was meant for you can come into fruition! #hadith #sunnah #sahih #muslims #islam #remindertoself #reflection (at M Street Apartments - Atlanta, GA)
