Children are the coolness of our eyes and they bring joy and happiness to our lives. As you embark on this next stage of your journey, the
Islamic Relief USA family wishes you the best.
Names are important. They have a purpose in our lives and can be a source of blessings. Our Prophet (pbuh) encouraged us to give our children good names.
We pray that your child grows up healthy and strong, intelligent and wise, and loves this religion and will become a person of good character.
Ameen.
