Baba is such a beautiful soul. He reminds me of my papa. He’s also a girl dad, and when I was a kid one of my then neighbors told my dad he was cursed for only having daughters. My papa responded “I am the most blessed man because I have the love of the most amazing woman, I pity you because you will never know this kind of love.” Seeing your baba talk about you guys like that made me realize that I too am lucky to have such a loving papa, who is proud of his daughters.

[@lisadiane2363]

I never comment on videos but your dad's wise words really made me emotional. As we are ending this month of ramadan I think about all the people that haven't had the opportunity to be raised by such a good dad and I pray for them. I was one of them but you guys sharing these beautiful moments really make me feel I am part of a community and I can feel the love your dad has for you guys through the screen. I can feel how his islamic values impacted the way he was raising you, the way he was raised and the way Alaina is going to be raised Insha'Allah. It's a beautiful cycle. May Allah bless him and reward him for the great work he's done by raising such amazing daughters and May Allah bless you girls for sharing this !

I am thankful you shared ur sweet baba with us today. The great takeaway I get from this is how to raise my children so I can in shaa Allah get kids like you girls; warm, loving & always so close. My daughter is just a few months older than Alaina, going through her terrible 2s. Most days I would wanna say no to her whims and tantrums but today I learnt from baba that that is part of growing. It really helped me see things from a new perspective. Thank you for making it easier for me to understand my own children better. Will definitely try to say yes to everything unless it is too expensive or putting anyone in danger . ;)
