A dua and a reflection
رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ
Rabbi awzi‘ni an ashkura ni‘mataka‑llati an‘amta ‘alayya.
“My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favour which You have bestowed upon me.”
Qur’an 46:15
Taste matters — even in the womb. Feed yourself what you’d want your child to love.
