“Living in a community surrounded by many Muslims and close to Al Maktoum Mosque has made me feel at home during Ramadhan, experiencing warmth and inclusivity. My time at the University of Dundee has broadened my perspective, reinforcing the belief that dreams can be realized through perseverance and prayer,” she noted.
This is not the first time a UIII student has become a MOsMA Scholar.
