Long awaited but suddenly Jayden was born on the 16th of August. 3,8 kg light and 52 cm short is our handsome young man. Janis didn't leave Asmaa's side for a moment and supported Asmaa throughout the whole exciting process.
We wish Asmaa and Janis: „O ye two believers in God! The Lord, peerless is He, hath made woman and man to abide with each other in the closest companionship, and to be even as a single soul. They are two helpmates, two intimate friends, who should be concerned about the welfare of each other. Strive, then, to abide, heart and soul, with each other as two doves in the nest, for this is to be blessed in both worlds“.
A major task faces now them both: „The instruction of these children is even as the work of a loving gardener who tendeth his young plants in the flowering fields of the All-Glorious“.
Little Jayden we wish: „O God! Rear this little babe in the bosom of Thy love, and give it milk from the breast of Thy Providence. Cultivate this fresh plant in the rose garden of Thy love and aid it to grow through the showers of Thy bounty. Make it a child of the kingdom, and lead it to Thy heavenly realm. Thou art powerful and kind, and Thou art the Bestower, the Generous, the Lord of surpassing bounty“.
