    I love the first one. It’s really powerful and lovely. In the photo the girl looks so pretty and happy, mashallah.

    these are beautiful, i love the representation of the balance between fear and hope:

    “Fear and hope are like the two wings of a bird. If they are well balanced, the flight will be well balanced. But, If one is stunted, the Right would also be stunted. And, to be sure, if the two are lost, the bird will soon be in the throes of death.”

    That’s a beautiful photo, ma-sha-Allah. Such pure, innocent joy in that little girl’s face. May Allah always keep such happiness in her heart.
