  1. God used to say about the true intelligence is ulil albab, like prophet Ibrahim even at such a young age can already have a thought which he said to his dad, "why are you creating God" (or something like that). And Imam Omar has such awareness at age 11? Like he questioning about justice, and get into philosophical questions too? No wonder he's an Imam now😢

  3. Masya Allah the parents setting best example of ihsaan for Imam Omar. It's incredible that past 2 Ramadhans ago I learned that Imam Omar got his PhD from IIUM, and what a trivia that his teachers are students of SMN Al Attas Masya Allah.
