AMANI Birth Certified Childbirth Educator and Doula, Deena Faheem, highlights the importance of preparing for labor and the unforgettable moments from her training: In your opinion, why is it important for a woman to prepare for her birth?

AMANI Birth Certified Childbirth Educator & Doula, Sohaib Ali, illuminates some very critical points with his reflections:  "Deviation from nature and natural ways, sooner or later, leads us to deviate from the right path. Every now and then, Allah places reformers in appropriate places to bring people back to fitrah. As birth culture in the West deviated from nature and took it to the hospitals, Allah placed reformers in their community to spread the warnings about deviating from the natural path. While most of the East is lagging about 150 years behind the West in terms of this 'industrialization' of [...]

AMANI Birth Certified Childbirth Educator, Sadiya Taha, shares her impressions regarding her experience with the organization:  Jazakumullah khair AMANI Team! I am full of gratitude for the AMANI training; the workshop, the books, the online quizzes, exams, the practicum, in fact, everything! Although I have given birth vaginally to seven children, I never got to hear of natural birth until I came across AMANI. Truth be told, I attended the workshop and training as an ignorant mom of 7, but came out - hopefully - as an empowered woman Alhamdulillah. Even my kids learned something from my learning! MashaAllah. AMANI [...]
