7 July 2019 – Alhamdulillah, I am officially now promoted to associate professor after went through an interview session on 26 May 2019. I was then invited to receive the certificate of appreciation from the Deputy Vice Chancellor on 9th July 2019 during the monthly engagement talk with the Vice Chancellor of UTM.

Praise be to Allah, the cherisher and sustainer of the worlds. #missionimpossible that I once thought it was has now become reality. Now I can finally answer my father’s favourite question. I will never be able to thank my parents and my husband enough, for their endless prayers and support. I am deeply thankful to my brothers, sisters and families who bring joy to my soul and always encouraging me. I feel truly grateful, to be surrounded by such amazing colleagues and friends, thank you so much for your help, your kindness and for being part of my journey. I am really blessed to have all of you in my life. الحمدلله
My next step InshaAllah is to keep focused, be wise and stay healthy.

Quoting Mufti Ismail Menk:

Start running your own race. Stop comparing yourself to others. If the Almighty wants you to have what others have, He will give it to you. If not now then at some stage later on. be happy with His Decree. Show gratitude. If you’re grateful, He will surely grant you more“.
