Shahdaa Shamil, a fourth-year student from the College of Islamic Sciences, received an award in a ceremony recognizing women with outstanding success stories.

The event, held in the Local Administration Hall in Karbala, was sponsored by Governor Nasif Jasim al-Khattabi under the theme, “Drawing Inspiration in Resilience from Lady Zainab (AS).”

Shahdaa was awarded a shield for success and excellence, along with a financial prize, as she led the honorees with her inspiring story. Despite losing her husband at a young age, she single-handedly supported her five children, enabling them to reach advanced educational stages with her unwavering support.
