Defying all odds, Md Habibur Rahman, who was born without any arms, sat for the Alim examination that began across the country on Sunday.
Writing with his feet, the 19-year-old took part in the examination Siddiquia Fazil Madrasa om Kalukhali upazila in Rajbari district.
In 2018, he passed the Dakhil examination with GPA 4.61 from the same madrasa.
Habibur Rahman's elder brother-in-law Anwar Hossain said: “Habib is physically handicapped since birth. He is very talented and a good student. Habib has a lot of talent and confidence inside him. He wants to be successful in the future.”
Md Hedayetul Islam, arabic lecturer of Siddiquia Fazil Madrasaa, said: “Habib is a very talented student of my madrassa and has done well in every class and is coming to take the Alim exam on Sunday. However, his family is poor. Maybe he can do better if the wealthy people of the society and the government stand by him.”
Awabullah Ibrahim, principal of the madrassa and the in-charge of the ongoing Alim examination, said: “Habibur Rahman had given the JSC and Dakhil examination in this centre under my supervision. Even though he doesn't have two hands, there is no way to tell that he is disabled from his handwriting.”
