Essay - My Grandfather by Maliha Mehamood Hakim

My Grandfather

Of all the people in my family, I admire my Grandfather the most.

Not only is he the most inspirational person from our family but I don’t think I can ever find any person like him to whom I can look upto.

His main qualities are his hardwork, honesty and a God Fearing Personality.

At the age of 11 years, he became Quran Hafiz and when he grew up, he became a Pharmacist.

He started working from a very young age of 18 years and continued working till the age of 75.

He ensured that all his sons including my father were well educated as he knew the importance of education in today’s world.

 He gave all his sons not only worldly knowledge but also made sure that they are also equipped with Islamic Knowledge as he knew that this life is only temporary and to succeed in this life and hereafter you should follow the Islamic teachings.

All his life he did everything on his own without taking any help or obligations from anyone. He bowed to ALLAH and asked help only  from the Almighty.

Although, he could not make much money in his life, but Alhamdulillah, he satisfied all the requirements of his family with whatever he earned.

He always guides us in our life and we are very happy and lucky to seek his advice.

When I grow up, I want to follow in his footsteps so that I could be successful both in this World and hereafter.

May ALLAH give him a long life so that he can continue guiding us for many years to come.
               
                                Aameen!
