MashAllah MashAllah, my little princess Sumi completed reciting Quran for the first time in her life. Its an outstanding accomplishment not only for herself but for our entire family especially her parents who were consistant and supportive to help her achieve this goal. Event accompanied after this accomplishment is called Ameen. Entire family, friends and community members join to celebrate this happy occasion. weather was beautiful and covid was under some control plus plan was to do it outdoor.

 Staged this event as a "BREAKFAST IN BED" Sumi's backyard was the perfect place to hold the event. Breakfast tables were placed on white round table cloths, surrounded with bed pillows.  Assembled couple of tents ( luckily all three were belongs to us one from QB's room, One from Bj's wedding and one was Sumi's from TARGET) around the area but decorated Sumi's tent little more festive with a fur stool, cane pumpkin, and a rainbow sign.
Setup food  serving area on the deck and eating  area below the deck. As you can see we used the same vases, beads and placemats from Zainy's aqeeqah. i love my wooden party chairs, I  bought many many years ago from Craigslist and they been the best investment ever. All year long they haul from places to places but still in excellent condition.

Sumi is  special by many means but the most prominent one is as being a first born grand duaghter made her the most special of all. She is one loving soul who loves to be around her family. She mashaAllah completed reciting Holy Quran (God's final revelation for Muslims) Sumi just turned 10 and we are very proud of her commitment towards learning to recite Holy Quran. She is also enrolled in a class to memorize different parts of Quran so she can implement those verses while performing her five daily prayers.I pray that this book enlighten her heart and open her mind to be the most pious and educated person. Ameen

​Sumi got a heart necklace from me which was given to me by my grandmother. My grand mother Aziz Begum was the most influential Dadi of her times. She didn't received any formal education but she was full of wisdom. Learned many things from her.She was also the most generous she gave me this necklace because i used to put this necklace in my mouth while she held me in her arms. It has little dents from my childhood teeth. Now it belongs to Sumi and i wish one day when she become a grandmother she be as wise and as generous like her. Ameen
