In an inspiring turn of events, an 80-year-old father, affectionately known as Pak Yob, has captured the hearts of millions on social media after welcoming his first child. A video showing Pak Yob calling the adhan (Islamic call to prayer) for his newborn daughter has gone viral, drawing widespread attention and admiration.
According to KOSMO!, The heartwarming video features Pak Yob cradling his daughter and softly reciting the adhan into her ear, a tradition in Muslim culture to welcome a newborn into the faith. The video, shared by Pak Yob's 42-year-old wife, affectionately called Ummi, has touched the lives of many, garnering over 2.5 million views, 103,600 likes, and 16,400 shares across various platforms.
Their daughter was safely delivered on May 31st at 9:30 PM, marking the culmination of a decade-long wait for the couple.
"Alhamdulillah, our first child after 10 years of waiting for this blessing. The father is 80 years old. A gift from Allah," wrote Ummi in the comments section of the viral video.
Pak Yob and Ummi, who reside in Seberang Perai, Penang, have a significant age difference of 38 years. This fact has intrigued many, with numerous social media users expressing their joy and astonishment at the couple's story.
"Subhanallah, uncle is 80 years old? He doesn't look like 80. Looks more like 60. Healthy uncle, alhamdulillah. A blessing for the uncle and his wife to have a child" commented Noraziwani Abdul Aziz.
"This child is so lucky.. maybe the father's strength isn't like that of a young person who can run and chase after the child. But his love, attention, and care are unmatched," added Amira, reflecting the sentiments of many viewers.
The couple's joyous news has resonated deeply with numerous women who are still waiting to experience motherhood. Many have expressed their hope and asked for prayers, drawing inspiration from Pak Yob and Ummi's story.

Another hopeful commenter shared, "Alhamdulillah, congratulations to you and your husband. I've just turned 40 and still don't have children. Sometimes I feel discouraged thinking about it. If it happens, okay. If not, that's okay too. Maybe we just need to keep trying".
The couple's story has not only brought joy and inspiration but has also highlighted the enduring power of faith and hope. In a world often filled with challenges, the birth of Pak Yob's daughter stands as a testament to the miracles that patience and belief can bring.
