Sulaimaan actively fosters this mindset in students, working to convince them of their own potential and empowering them to overcome their doubts.

When Sulaimaan isn't occupied with tutoring or his medical studies, he enjoys playing basketball and video games, going to the gym, and spending time with his cat named Bunny.
