“And Allah is Sufficient as a Guardian, and Allah is Sufficient as a Helper.”(Surah an-Nisa)

Baby #9 has arrived!

1/21/22, 6lbs14oz, 20 inches long.

Meet our baby boy, little lion, Hamza!

His name = Brave, strong, and the name of our beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w uncle who was called the lion of Allah!

When you are giving birth to a lion, one must get ready to be tested for their braveness and strength in their faith.

I almost died in that delivery room.

I was rushed to an emergency c-section due to the baby’s heart dropping to a dangerous level!

For the first time after eight deliveries of having natural, I had to face a surgery that would put me at high risk for the following:

Bleed to death.

To remove my entire uterus.

However, that was the only way out to save my baby.

I’ll bet my life over this little man.

When surgery came:

The anesthesia caused my mouth to be immobile in the middle of surgery.

My saliva almost choked me.

I pointed to my mouth that I could not move it, but no one understood me.

In silence, I wept in desperation.

Please, God, I got to see my kids. I can’t die like this.

God got me! Your prayers, my linkies, families, friends caught me!

As I heard my little lion roar with his cry, life was restored to my soul!

And all the risks were fought by God’s presence and set me free!
