Iman.
I know, I know, I’ve mentioned her before, but hear me out…

She had the courage to approach my {old school} Palestinian father about marrying a Pakistani man. A first in our {entire} family. They’ve been {happily} married for 12 years.
When she was pregnant with her second child, she had severe complications that left her on bed rest in the hospital for over 3 months. Not once did her faith falter, it only grew stronger. After her miracle baby, Serene, was born, she truly realized the power of prayer.
She supported her husband’s dream of learning to fly and attain his pilot’s license, post 9/11. You can watch the whole journey on their documentary. Yes, their own documentary. Inspired yet?

Amazing! She's a wonder woman mashaAllah. I'm so inspired now. I guess awesomeness runs in the family huh? 😉
she sounds amazing–what a great friend:)
wow, Masha'allah, talk about inspiration!
Asalaamu Alaikum
Beautiful post! I love that tablecloth! Her shirts are beautiful too. Was your mother a great hostess/baker/cook? That's what I admire about raised muslims; their hospitality. Our house rarely had guests growing up.
The best post that has ever been posted ever in history! lol, Amnah knows I'm teasing. Iman is so modest about her accomplishments, and she truly is an inpsiration. She touches the lives of everyone she meets. Great post Amnah!
what an awesome sister! Mashallah Allah yekhaleeko la ba3d ya rab
@Iman, Oops sorry, I'll correct that.
@Sha, She is pretty awesome.
@Sharstin, It's my sister!
@HijabMommy, Yes, Mashallah, she truly is.
@C, My mother entertains frequently so we picked up that love of feeding people from her. You can make up for lost time now 🙂
@Zayna, I knew you'd enjoy this post.
@EmMalik, Thank you habibti.
