It was important for them to select a name that would serve as both an inspiration and a source of love and strength for their son, she wrote in the caption.

The author also expressed her desire for the chosen name to envelop her son with grace and fearlessness, embodying a sense of his homeland and bringing joy to his life. After much contemplation, she found herself drawn back to her father's name, recognizing its power to encapsulate the values and sentiments they wished to instil in their child.

Fatima concluded her message by seeking prayers for the family.
