Dear Friends,

 

We are very humbled to share with you some of the Graduation photographs of our 4 children:  Madhury, Kamal, Jamal and Monika, that my wife Reena and I were blessed with by Allah (swa).

 

Madhury  graduated from UC-Berkeley (with a Major in MCB, Molecular Cell Biology), and she also went to school at Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University (SMP, Special Masters Program), Drexel University (MD, Doctor of Medicine) and SUNY Downstate Brooklyn in New York (Ob/Gyn Residency). The photographs include Madhury’s undergraduate graduation from UC-Berkeley, MD graduation from Drexel in Philadelphia, PA and her Medical Residency Graduation in Ob/Gyn from SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, New York. Madhury is currently working as an Attending Physician as an Ob/Gyn MD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.

 

Kamal  graduated from UCLA with Major in Electrical Engineering. The photographs include Kamal’s graduation from UCLA. Kamal is currently working as an Electrical Engineer at a High Tech Corporation in Silicon Valley, California.

 

Jamal  graduated from UC-Berkeley (with triple Major in Economics Honors, Political Science, Rhetoric and an additional Minor in Global poverty, all four Majors/Minor within 4 years) and then he went on to Harvard Law School and there he received his JD (Doctor of Jurisprudence). The photographs include Jamal’s JD graduation from Harvard Law School last year in 2013. Jamal is currently doing his prestigious US-Presidential Fellowship (PMF) with US-Federal Government in Washington DC.

 

Monika  graduated from UC San Diego (with Double Major in Environmental Science and International Studies) and then she went to Graduate school at Ivy League Columbia University in Manhattan New York and received her MPH (Masters in Public Health). The photographs include Monika’s graduation from Columbia University with MPH (Masters in Public Health). Monika just graduated from Columbia University this Spring semester in May 2014.

 

With the blessings of Allah (swa), all of our 4 children were identified early on in their Elementary Schools as GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) students. They all received US Presidential Awards. They all were Valedictorians at various School Graduations. In addition to academics, they also did extensive levels of extra-curricular activities and Internships, including International projects abroad and overseas. Along with the academics, they also grew up through the weekend Islamic school at Islamic center, monthly family Halaqa programs on religious topics, as well as through the Community Cultural Association programs and events in active roles and lead roles. They also received many distinguished Awards and Scholarships for their exceptional performances and achievements in academics as well as in extra-curricular activities. Some of the prestigious Awards of our first child Madhury are UC-Regents Scholar, IBM TJ Watson Memorial Scholar and Silicon Valley Youth Hall of Fame, which made Madhury the role model for our other 3 younger kids Kamal, Jamal and Monika, inspiring their successes as well.

 

Madhury and Rezwan got married with festivities in Silicon Valley, California, USA on May 28, 2011. Some pictures of their wedding ceremony are included here. Rezwan grew up in Staten Island of New York city, where he earned his MBA, and now he works for the Federal Reserve Bank in Manhattan, New York. Rezwan’s father Syed Reza Ali is a BUET Graduate from Dhaka, and he worked in Bangladesh and USA. Rezwan’s grandfather was Syed Murtaza Ali (Brother of Syed Muztaba Ali).
 

My wife Reena did her best to raise our four kids well. She has taught our kids and guided our kids in many good ways, with her utmost care. I have actually learned a lot of good things from my wife, and I have said this gladly in public on many occasions that my wife Reena is a better human being than me, because of her higher human values than mine.

 

An article about our family was published in the Thikana Newspaper of New York in 2012, with the title “ Mahbub khan Family Community’s Model”, which is included here as the last picture.

 

Please pray for our beloved 4 kids Madhury, Kamal, Jamal and Monika so that they can continue to succeed in all aspects of their lives by achieving even higher grounds of goodness, kindness, fairness, righteousness and other human values along a path which is enlightened by education, knowledge, wisdom, modesty, honesty and mutual respect, in order to achieve a much clearer and broader understanding of this magnificent creation within ourselves as well as all other things around us and beyond, and also certainly the absolute loftiest purest Almighty, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of the higher and higher levels of Taqwa. As loving parents, this is what we all can pray for our beloved children.

 

With best regards,
