Survived!

Survived with countless tears, endless cries, screams, heartbreaks, overwhelming anxiety, and battles just to take a deep breath. Survived through unbearable stress, immense pain, unfortunate situations, and constant self-blame. I kept saying, I’m okay, when I wasn’t. Kept saying, *“I’m sorry,”* when it wasn’t my fault. Kept hiding my tears behind a mask of strength and whispered, *“Yes, it’s all my fault,”* when it wasn’t true.

But Alhamdulillah, I survived—and not just survived, but succeeded.

I succeeded in mending my broken self, multiplying my strength, my power, and my worth. I learned to set my pace, create inner peace, and build unwavering beliefs. I conquered my confidence and paved the way for a better me.

I succeeded in stepping into another year.

And for that, I am deeply grateful to Allah, whose mercy and guidance carried me through the darkest moments. I am eternally thankful to my family, who stood by me with love and unwavering support, who believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself.

Because I have faith—faith in Allah’s plan and in the promise:

‎إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ**
”Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”

A Day of Kindness and Gratitude: A Heartwarming Gesture for Our Students

There are very few days in life that leave a profound impact on us. Today was one of those days.

The students at our government school, especially those from rural areas, face immense challenges in their pursuit of education due to financial constraints. Most of them come from low socio-economic backgrounds, and many work part-time after school to help support their families. When I joined this institute, I noticed that several children wore torn shoes—a visible testament to their families’ financial hardships.

Today, something truly heartwarming happened. An angel in the form of a man brought smiles to the innocent faces of our students by gifting them brand-new shoes and socks. The joy on their faces was indescribable. It was a moment of pure happiness that reminded us all of the power of kindness and generosity.

I extend my deepest gratitude to our honorable Principal, Chaudhry Muhammad Sajid, and DDO, Rashid Kaini, for their unwavering support and leadership. Above all, I am immensely grateful to the kind-hearted individual who stepped forward selflessly to bring this happiness to our students. Words cannot fully capture the depth of my gratitude and admiration for this act of kindness.

May he be rewarded with eternal happiness and blessings in this life and the hereafter.

Best regards,
Mussadique Ali
