The Naming Ceremony. A fourth son was born to Shafiq Ibrahim. The proud father invited his good friend Balwant Singh Bitta to join the
celebration and choose a name for the new born child. “What names have you
given to the three elder boys?” asked Balwant.
”One is Rahmat Elahi (by God’s kindness),
the second Barkat Elahi (by God’s grace) and the third Mahbub Elahi (beloved of God),” replied Shafiq.
To this Singh, member of the family planning
commission pondered over the names for a while and thoughtfully replied,”
I suggest you name your fourth son, Bas Kar Elahi (God that is enough).”
