Young Love

After almost 3 years of marriage, my daughter and her husband were Blessed with a Healthy Baby Boy on 26 March 2013, Alhumdulilah!

I received many comments that I was so young to be a granny and although I seemed amused and flattered by them,  I started feeling quite annoyed by the comments as I felt uncertain about the insinuations surrounding them.

Has anyone ever been too young to receive a Blessing? Allah knows Best and I am thankful to The Almighty Allah (swt) for bestowing us with this Blessing, Alhumdulilah!

We were also informed of our successful accreditation to perform our Haj this year, Inshaa Allah (God Willing) and I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. Subhana'Allah!
