From birth, Jalal faced physical challenges: he was 50% deaf in each ear, relying on lip-reading and later abandoning bulky hearing aids out of embarrassment.

The Hebrew word tzadik (צַדִּיק), derived from the root ṣāḏaq meaning "to be straight" or "cleanse," appears 206 times in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "righteous" or "just." The first person explicitly called a tzadik is Noah, described in Genesis 6:9 as "a just man and perfect in his generations" who "walked with God." Notably, Noah’s righteousness predates the giving of the Torah, suggesting that being a tzadik is a universal human potential, not confined to specific laws or rituals. Noah’s life demonstrates that righteousness involves aligning one’s actions with God’s will, even in a corrupt world.
