My big family Al-Kudsi has a great historical heritage in politics, economy and history of Syria. Our family roots go back in the history to reach the dynasty of the Greatest and Last Messenger of God ,The prophet Mohammed peace upon him.

  I have a warm loving small family. My father was a pharmacist he got his BS from the university of Prussia - Italy. My mother is an agriculture engineer. She got her BS from the American university of Beirut - Lebanon. My parents met each other in Beirut-Lebanon by means of family relationships. They married there and started their life there. After the beginning of Lebanon cilvil war It was difficult for them to continue in Beirut. They decided to go back to our family home city Aleppo (Halab) - Syria.

   Their life was tough in the beginning (like the beginning of everything in this life). They had to live alone in the family big old house because everybody was still in Beirut. My dad started his own private pharmacy in Aleppo 1977. Its name was Pharmacy of Syria (which is still owned by my family till now.)

   I have two adorable siblings. An elder sister Lama. She got her BA from Concordia University and MA from McGill university of Montreal, Canada in International business major. She is working now in an international corporation. And a younger brother Zaid. He is still working on his BS in Pharmacy at Aleppo university.

   My father passed away in 1999 (at 59 years old ) with no serious decease. I can say that this was the biggest disaster in my life. We all were externally sad for a considerable period of time not because of his death (we all believe that this is Allah will ) but because of losing him beside us when we were just starting our real life and were ready to pay him back his love, patience and endurance , while raising us.

   My younger brother Zaid got engaged in spring 2001 with a nice, educated Syrian girl.

   My parents have devoted their life to make us the happiest children in the world. I think whatever we do we can't pay them back a fraction of what they have provided for us over those long years.
