“My dad’s story is a huge source of motivation for me 🥹. He never thought he could achieve all this in his lifetime, but Alhamdulillah 🙏.”
“I pray we are all able to make our parents happy and prioritize them above all else.”
“If you’re having a bad day, I hope this serves as a little motivation: don’t give up; it’s never too late. May Allah bless us all, Insha Allah. Ameen 🙏.”
His father’s story has stirred so many reactions from people who desire such a change of story, the comment session is flooded with appreciation from friends and family, including his fans.
