An Osun Based Author, Gidado Habib has penned poetic message to a Nigerian Muslim Sister, Aisha Mutiu Uthman who recently graduated from Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt in flying colors.
The poem titled “Victorious Scholar Aisha Mutiu Uthman” reads below:
Victorious Scholar Aisha Mutiu
It’s time to celebrate
A young lady who concentrates
On her studies and meditates
Over the plans of her parents
She left her friends and families
To an Arab country overseas
While others traveled to study medicine
Engineering, Law and Sciences
Or Japa to better life and earnings
Scholar Aisha chose Shariah studies
People backbite and slandered
They even insulted her father
Instead of planning Nikaah for his daughter
Or seeking admission in her motherland
He sent her off to a faraway land
It was indeed a fearful lucky chance
Being one of the two blacks in her class
Expected from her was a high performance
She had to sit tight and make plans
To divorce the distractions on her paths
And marry her books to pass
While well-wishers prayed for her triumphants
Aisha Mutiu Al-Azharyy! Congratulations!
You graduated with flying colours
Jeyyid Jiddan, First degree with honours
You conquered and became victorious
Your steadfast parent are now pompous
The joy for them is enormous
And to Allah, they remain gracious.
Congratulations to Aisha Adebola Mutiu Al-Azharyy.

Indeed, she is exceptional
Through her intelligence, Nigeria got appraisal
In the midst of giants across the globe
What a lady of excellency with zero death of hope!
You stood so firm for the best,even amidst criticism
With joy and smile,we celebrate your iconism
For this is worthwhile with no form of egoism
Blessed will you be by AlLaah,for he’s please with your regime.
