This year, many Malaysian universities have postponed their graduation ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the movement control order.

However, one university student, Ahmad Nabil Ismail wasn’t about to forego the celebration so he decided to organise his very own ceremony, at home!

Pertama sekali. Alhamdulillah. Syukur ke hadrat Ilahi, Allah SWT, kerana telah mengizinkan aku untuk menghabiskan pembelajaran dgn jayanya.

On his Twitter page, Nabil shared a video of his staged graduation ceremony which started with his mother in a police uniform announcing his name as the recipient of a bachelor’s degree in computing and business management.

His caption reads: “Praise to God. I am surrounded by amazing friends and lecturers who have helped me go through my ups and downs, during my studies. I am so grateful for all of you. I love you guys so much. Thank you for everything.”

Lastly, kpd kawan2 yg masih belajar. Belajar lah dgn ikhlas. Niatkan belajar kerana Allah. Pada yg masih belum bekerja, teruskan usaha. Teruskan doa, tawakal, dan usaha. Pada yg sudah bekerja, tahniah. Teruskan perjuangan dlm bidang pekerjaan. Utk semua, teruskan perjuangan anda!

Rindu sangat dgn Abah. Nanti abin ziarah abah ya 🥺❤️ Sayang Abah & Mak.

He then posed for a photo with his mother, proudly showing off his certificate followed by a crowd applauding in the background. 

The video has since been viewed over 251.2 thousand views.

Congratulations, Nabil! We are so happy for you.
