His Mamajee passed away on Sunday, 19th May 2019...and the very next day on Monday, 20th May - his final exam week started.
I can still remember that we were all so worried about him. Not only did he have to sit for his final exam, he also had to do long hours of fasting coz it was the month of Ramadhan. We even told him to sit out of the exam and request for a later date. But he insisted on sitting for the exam anyway. He told us not to worry. He said that he’d be fine.
Obviously we all knew that he wasn’t fine. He was struggling. Like all of us, he was not getting enough sleep and he couldn’t focus on his revision too. He was crying a lot but he still chose to sit for his final exam. That’s very brave of him.
His very first paper was English and I can still remember that look on his face when he came back from school on that day. He was really down and when we asked him how the exam was, his reply was “I don’t know.” I hugged him and assured him that no matter what the result will be, I promise that I will be happy with it. In fact, I won’t be disappointed even if he failed in any of the subjects.
But Allah is Ar-Rahmān and Ar-Raheem - The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful. We received his end of year report and we were all beyond shocked! Not only did he do excellently in his exam but he also got 2 X (Distinctions) in French and DT - Alhamdulillah. Mukhtar himself was shocked. He even said that “I don’t know how that happened” - bless him!
But I believe Allah is all knowing of all the struggles that he’s been through and Allah is just granting him with what he truly deserves. He is a good son and clearly Allah has rewarded him for his goodness.
It was really heartwarming to read all the feedback and acknowledgement from all of his teachers. I loved that the English teacher didn’t forget to acknowledge him on the publication of his first book - #MNPOE. And not only that, Mukhtar also gained not 1, not 2, but FOUR entries into the LIBER AUREUS (GOLDEN BOOK) in his first year at KES!
Well done Omar Mukhtar for your outstanding achievements, you totally deserve it. We’re all proud of you, son. And you know that Mamajee must be very proud of you too. Always have full faith in Allah and don’t forget to keep on being humble. May Allah continue to guide you and shower you with His endless blessings. And may He protect you and keep you safe from any harm.
Blessed,
Mrs Mom
