I am grateful to share my journey with my Al-Ala family. After achieving 9 A*s in my O Levels, I am now pursuing my higher education at Drexel University, USA. Alhamdulillah, I have been awarded a full-ride scholarship, which includes tuition, living, and food stipend worth approximately $80,000 annually. I am currently majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. The foundation built at Al-Ala played a vital role in shaping my path, and I carry those lessons with me as I move forward.

From baby steps to achieving the biggest milestones, from securing straight 6 As in Olevels at Al-Ala International Islamic School to currently pursuing bachelors in Food Science and Technology at University of Engineering and Technology (UET) with a scholarship. I’ve excelled in both: circulars and extra-circulars. Alongside my academia I’m leading Al-Ala Pathfinders,serving as Vice President of Society of Food and Nutritional Awareness, running my own resin art business and just completely two internships as a nutritionist and food color lab assistant. This is a glimpse of much more to be achieved ahead. ستاروں سے آگے جہاں اور بھی ہیں

I joined Al-Ala in Grade 4. With the help of the amazing teachers who always encouraged me to do my best, I cleared my O Levels with 9 A*s and 1 A. For my higher studies, I pursued A Levels and developed a strong interest in Computer Science, graduating with 4 A*s and an internal distinction in the subject. For my bachelor’s degree, I was awarded a 100% merit-based scholarship at ITU Lahore, where I not only focused on my academics but also remained actively involved in student communities. I graduated with a Gold Medal from ITU. Later, I joined one

Each student who walks through the doors of Al-Ala is guided towards the path of true success—both in this world and the Hereafter. At Al-Ala, the focus is not only on academics but also on nurturing students spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. Through the mentorship of my teachers and the Tarbiyah/Tafseer classes, I learnt the most important lesson of all: how to differentiate between right and wrong. With this strong foundation, I was able to achieve 9 A*s in my O Levels, followed by a 100% scholarship for A Levels at LGS 55 Main, where I continued to excel academically. Studying at

I scored 8As and 2Bs in my O-Levels here, but more than that, I discovered confidence, leadership, and resilience. From student council to debates and events, Al-Ala shaped the hesitant boy I was into someone ready to face the world. Our teachers used to say, “You’re in a well now, but the ocean is out there.” I understand that now—because after Al-Ala, I completed my A-Levels at PakTurk, earned a CS degree from FAST-NUCES, and now work as an Associate Software Engineer at dubizzle Labs. Al-Ala prepared me not just to survive the ocean, but to swim in it. And for
