Book Review: AMANI Birth

Dania Shahzad talks about her takeaways after reading the AMANI Birth book, authored by Aisha Al Hajjar: "The book was definitely very informative with a beautiful Islamic perspective on how to prepare to birth naturally. I never thought how birth and our Islamic teachings could combine so well to give a strong message about trusting the design of Allah to birth naturally. I would definitely recommend it to expecting mothers because it is very comprehensive and the approach is holistic. The most profound thing I learned and that stuck with me is how important it is to go through good [...]

Stories Of Inspiration & Empowerment: AMANI Birth Changing Lives Series

REVIVAL OF MY MOTHERHOOD - A BIRTH STORY Written By: Umm Aaqib بسم اللّٰہ الرحمن الرحيم Let's start this from the beginning... A woman's role as a mother is a highly-regarded, as well as an under-appreciated one; all at the same time. In this flawed world, we verbally admit the virtues of a mother, while disregarding her instincts and choices right from the time she conceives.

With two previous [...]

Birth Stories: My VBAC Success Story

This mama educated herself and achieved the birth she wanted! Thank you for allowing us to share your story. First of all, let me share with you why this birth is a big deal to me and my husband. Having gone through 2 births (one induced, intervened vaginal birth and one emergency c-sect), they were not as positive as one would want their birth to be. Thus, having this successful VBAC, I was encouraged to share my experience to tell all that it IS possible! For my first birth, I was very naïve, didn’t bother to read up on birthing [...]
