“If I have any advice then I would say it is mind over matter and you should always have the strength within yourself to continue. Make a decision and stick to it and never give up. Life will throw issues, problems, illness and you must find the solution to help you,” she said

“A huge thank you to the full team including the porters and guides for supporting me journey.”

Zee is already the first British Muslim woman to have a Guinness World Record for completing an obstacle course on top of Mount Kilimanjaro in September 2021.

As the only female Civilian Self-Defence Instructor in the Northwest, she said she aims to teach women personal protection through the charity called Z’s Defence Academy.

Though Zee is the first British Muslim woman to make the achievement, a British Muslim man and other non-British Muslim women have made the achievement.

Earlier this year, Mountaineer Akke Rahman became the first British Muslim to climb Mount Everest, completing the dream journey he started while observing Ramadan to raise funds for orphans’ shelter.
