An elderly man became a father at the age of 80, said- 'A gift from God'

80-year-old Malaysian retiree Yoob Ahmad and his 42-year-old wife Zaleha Zainul Abidin recently welcomed their newborn baby girl Noor. Ayob said having a baby at this age was an unexpected event, but he considered it a gift from Allah.

According to a report, Job says that he never even dreamed that he would have a child at this age. He said that it is not because I am very 'strong', but I believe that all this is the grace of God. The birth of my child is a gift and wish of Allah. Job shared his happy news on TikTok account @ummimakhapakyob, in which he can be seen praying in front of the newborn baby.

He said that considering his increasing age, he is not planning to have a child because his four children from his previous marriage have already grown up. Along with this, wife Jaleeha says that there has been no conversation between her and Yob about having a child, even though they have been married for 10 years.

Jalehha had a miscarriage five years ago. When she got the news of her pregnancy again, she was shocked at first and then she considered it a game of fate. She said that her elder children are also included in her happiness, because it has been a long time since they met their younger brother and sister. Jalehha has three children from her previous marriage, who are 12, 14 and 16 years old.

Ayyub said, everything is God's will, which we cannot avoid. He said he is very grateful to Allah for allowing his wife to conceive and give birth to a child and considers it a blessing. An 80-year-old father wants his daughter to become a healthy and cultured woman.
