Aside from helping them traverse their own career paths, Laila feels obliged to raise them to be as socially conscious as her father raised her.

Muhammad was a great humanitarian and philanthropist and ensured he brought his kids up to be kind and involved in people's lives. Laila wants to ensure that her kids have similar training.
