Firstborns inspire festive fervour

Children bring happiness and to have them on special occasions such as the Eid Al Adha in commemoration of Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael, as an act of his obedience to God, is the git multiple times over.

Between the first few hours of the celebrations from Monday evening to noon the following day (July 19 to 20), at least 13 were born across the UAE. While three were still unnamed, the 10 were Asma Randhawa, Omar Bin Riyas Muhammed, Elisha Alexis Borrilo, Hamdan Ahmed Darwish Al Shamsi, Rashed Mater Al Mansoori, Danial Ramez Nabil, Mansoor Alkyeli, Evana Sumesh, Adam Sultan Rashid Taybi and Sultan Hazaa Al Jallaf.
