50th Wedding Anniversary
of a Great Couple
By Abubakr Vakil
Mr.
and Mrs. Syed Hassan |
Here is what I have
to share about a couple I adore. It is only 20 % of my feelings
for them and their family.
I feel blessed and lucky to have a friend and a brother
like Syed Hassan Sahib. He is a very fine human being. He
has a number of qualities that distinguish him from others.
My dear Bhabi Sahiba Rasheeda Hassan too is a very nice,
polite and extremely soft-spoken lady. Mr. and Mrs. Hassan's
50th wedding anniversary clearly indicates their profound
commitment, perfect harmony and understanding for each other.
In fact, they are the best compliment to each other.
They raised their offspring in the best way possible and
that is why the results are so impressive. In the medical
field, we have Dr Khalid Hassan - outstanding in his profession
and a remarkable human being. In the legal field, we see
a brilliant young man, Tariq Hassan, a successful attorney
with a bright future in store for him. Their four daughters
are equally talented young ladies, each one outstanding
in her own field. They are cultured and refined human beings.
I salute both husband and wife on the successful upbringing
of their children.
Hassan Sahib is a very successful businessman. He was the
first to launch the Pakistani American Association in California.
He is an outstanding poet. I have never seen him raising
his voice or shouting on any one. He has been an integral
part of the Islamic Society of Orange County. He is loyal
and fair to every one. He has been an icon in many associations
and organizations. He always keeps a low key. He gives a
good account of himself whenever a responsibility is entrusted
to him. His sterling qualities are many and it is difficult
to recall all of them. I mention only a few here. I would
unhesitatingly say that it takes ages to find a couple of
the caliber and qualities of Mr and Mrs Syed Hassan Sahib.
May they both live for a thousand years. And may each year
be of fifty thousand days.
