About Me

Life has a way of waking you up.

For me, that wake-up call came through hospitals. Over three and a half years, I spent most of my life in and out of cancer wards with my mum — sometimes 18 hours a day by her side. I saw things no one is ever really prepared for. People passing away. Doctors saying operations might fail. Treatments being stopped. Blood, sickness, fear, and silence.

Cancer hospitals don’t just drain you physically — they break you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Watching someone you love suffer while you stand there completely helpless is one of the hardest things a person can go through.

I had already lost my dad in hospital before this, so being back in that environment again was terrifying. It forces you to face reality very quickly: life is fragile, and nothing is guaranteed.

What affected me most was seeing how illness took away my mum’s ability to do things we all take for granted — like praying or reading Qur’an. Things she once did with ease became difficult or impossible. It made me realise how dangerous it is to keep saying “later” when it comes to deen.

I started asking myself questions I could no longer ignore:
What am I really preparing for?
What will I meet Allah ﷻ with if my time comes suddenly?

That’s when everything changed.

I made the intention for Hijrah — not to run away from life, but to live it serving the deen. To leave distractions behind and centre my life around Qur’an, seeking knowledge, obedience to Allah, and trying to live righteously. I want to dedicate my life to being an obedient son, and a source of ongoing reward (ṣadaqah jāriyah) for my parents — by memorising the Qur’an, teaching it, and living in a way that benefits others.

This journey isn’t about status or travel. It’s about turning pain into purpose, and loss into something meaningful.

Any support or sponsorship given is an amānah. By the permission of Allah, it will be used to seek knowledge, strengthen my deen, and serve the Ummah, so that it becomes a lasting charity for all of us — even after we return to Allah.

If this path succeeds, it’s not just for this life — it’s for what comes after.
In shā’ Allah.
