Happy Birthday Zafran

Happy Birthday Zafran

Today I hit a new milestone in my life. For today, I celebrate the birthday of a very special individual:- my first-born, Ammar Zafran.

All my children and kids are special to me, each in their own unique way. For Zafran, his birth marks my transition to a new role in my life 16 years ago, as a mother.

Every mother wants the best for her child. Every mother prays for the well-being, safety, and success of one who is of her flesh and blood. I am no different. Each day, I say a pray to ask Allah for all those things, and even more. I ask God to make me a good mother, who is able to teach my children the right values, and to be anchored in principles, so that they would grow up to be upright and a person of integrity. I pray for guidance so that I can be a good example , and walk the talk. I pray that each child is strong physically and emotionally...and that even though I cannot protect them from everything, their faith in God and themselves remain unshakeable.

Today, I say a special prayer for you, my dear Zafran.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious and Benevolent,

Today marks the 16th year of Zafran's life. As a teenager, he is already facing many challenges. Please give him the strength of character, and a clear heart and mind to do the things which will put him in good stead.

Grant him wisdom and courage. Grant him Nur in his endeavours.
At the moment, he is facing his challenge of the O levels. I know he has been studying hard, and working hard. Reward him for his efforts, and may his perserverance pay off with what he aims for.

Grant him good health, and a long blessed and prosperous life. Make him safe from illnesses, for now and the future.

Bless him with a true and pure heart, and help him grow into a humane, loving and compassionate individual who will be able to give back to his family, community and country.

He is a good son, and I love him very much.
So Allah, hear and fulfil my prayers.
Amin...Amin...Amin.
