This inspired him to provide quality medical treatment at affordable prices to poor people in the Gulf states. Today, Shifa Al Jazeera Medical Centre, conceived by Rabiullah, has become a huge chain across the region. Rabiullah has received Pravasi Bharatiya Samman by President of India Mr. Pranab Mukherjee in 2013 in the merit of his Outstanding achievements".
