Epilogue on Ramadan 2014

Life. You think you know everything. You're oblivious. You live in a dream without any awareness of what is to come. If it's meant to be, somehow you slowly learn about the unseen and the future becomes so clear. Everything changes. Priorities, thoughts, actions, ...everything. The body becomes less into itself and the soul starts to take over. Life is more meaningful. Happiness is beyond words...God is everything, everywhere.

Life is a test. Difficult for us to understand. God has not left us alone. He's always been with us. Warned us. Sent us his messengers to help us. To those truly sincere...God brings answers. What was written reveals the truth. It has always been there. Waiting for the willing. Confusion fades. And as time goes on, the closeness to the Hereafter becomes more real, imminent. We are here for a short time. All of us eventually must go. It is inevitable. It is our destiny. The hour is coming closer every day. Fear disappears. It was predetermined before we were born. We had no idea. Our decisions matter now before it's too late. Submission to God Alone is the Key.

Ali's 46th Birthday

Ali's 46th birthday fell on the Night of Destiny during Ramadan. It was a very blessed day but we were not able to celebrate his birthday on that day. So this was taken a week earlier.



So much has happened for Ali joon this year. So much enlightenment and doors have become opened.
We surround him and with our love wish him the best of his 46th year.



Arya likes to give him a hard time now and then but it all comes with the genes :) it's a small remembrance of his little self...



We got him a hammoc but unfortunately our trees cannot endure the heaviness so we had to return it. But hopefully we can do something else later :) It was a nice surprise though to see that look on his face :)




He also got 2 cooling towels and a few other nice gifts. I made him a chocolate vanilla cake with caramel and whip cream. It was late after Iftar that we ate and celebrated. A bit famished and thirsty we gave into the food and drink. :) Happy birthday azizam.

Papa's 78th birthday

We are thankful to God to see our sweet Papa on his 78th birthday.



Mashalah, it was a blessed evening.



Nana made khoresh bademjoon with salad shirazi and yummy tadik! :)




The kids played and enjoyed time together (more and more these days thank God).



And Papa got to open his birthday cards



Alhamdurelah for each and every day we have.
