naming ceremony

the naming ceremony was performed by the ipoh indian muslim mosque imam. my siblings and i used to go mengaji at this mosque. it has one of my earliest childhodd memories.... the ceremony is usually performed in the sequence of recital of doa, azan, announcing his name at his ears and feeding of honey by the imam and all the men followed by the ladies...

muhammad nazhan nasr is resting on his birthday present bearing his name that mummy made specially for the occasion...
azan

honey time...
