An excellent human being and a perfect woman, this is my friend Rubina Shams Khan. I know her now for 22 years and she is still the same person, soft, kind, generous, polite, tolerant and well-mannered. She came here on a month long visit after 18 years and found nothing changed. "Things have gone worse. People don't value their life, time and relationship" she said. "I met her last Wednesday after a nine years of long span. We talk non-stop on every issue.
Loyal and sincere to her husband and his family, very different from those who always think of their in-laws as evil. She is one of those very few blessed women who support their husbands, value their struggle for life and play their role which really proves them a better half.
Beside my mother, she is the only one I know who was very disciplined and dedicated her life to her triplets, two sons and a daughter, same as my daughter's age. I taught them Qur'an for two years, half hour or less everyday and I don't remember if they were ever absent or came late. She provided them with both Islamic knowledge and regular education.
She is a great cook. Always ready to serve her guests with scrumptious dishes, never got tired of trying new recipes.
We met each other after a long time and looks like we missed each other a lot. Like everyone else she was upset about the life style people live here but unlike others she was really considerate about bringing a change for betterment. For being pure and simple she didn't spend her time in unnecessary shopping and buying clothes and shoes and jewelry like crazy. She was rather more interested in our education and schooling system and how to control pollution and not to waste time and money in late night parties etc.
We both agree that women should be held more responsible than men for the bad situation we are in now and it's women who can and should make it better.
Women like her are a treasure for their family and a role model for society. I wish for her and her children a trouble free life.
