Iman; Naming, Shaving and Aqiqah Ceremony - 12 July 2008

Sweet little darling
Iman's attire for the ceremony
 On the 12 July 2008 we had naming, shaving and aqiqah ceremony for Iman at Mak Tok house after Umi was done with confinement period.  A goat was bought for the aqiqah and cooked (curry - a good curry...yummy).  Ayah recited the doa and announced Iman's name - Nur (light) Iman (faith) Zarifah (intelligent and beautiful).  Then Iman was shaved so that the hair could be weighed and paid according to gold price.  Iman was a good baby, didn't cry.  There was marhaban too.  Some token were given to the people who came that night.
