Abdul Sattar Edhi Passes away

[saiyan0321]

Request to all those in Karachi to please attend his funeral tomorrow.

And those that cannot, offer namaz and pray for him.

 

[Hamoon]

We should start a campaign against Mr. Eidhi's state funeral because he doesn’t want any recognition from the corrupt Govt.

We will be not forgiven if we will not replicate our heroes.

 

[-xXx-]

Odd.

Cut it man, not the time or place for such discussions.

We should start a campaign against Mr. Eidhi's state funeral because he doesn’t want any recognition from the corrupt Govt.

I would say let it be.

It was his greatness that he doesn't want anything for himself, but lets give him whatever you can just "once".

 

[Hamoon]

I would say let it be.

It was his greatness that he doesn't want anything for himself, but lets give him whatever you can just "once".

Every person should have right of last wish and he refuses any state support.
i rest my case with that.

I agree.

Perhaps a huge donation by awam to his foundation would be a good tribute.

Ensure the foundation dont fall part or in wrong hands.

 

[PaklovesTurkiye]

ALL RESPECT AND HONOR FOR THIS ANGEL FROM FEDERAL B AREA (From where he started his work, my current hometown) , FROM KARACHI, FROM PAKISTAN, FROM WORLD.......

 

[jaunty]

Hope he lives on through his foundation, a great human being indeed.

5 Extraordinary Facts About Abdul Sattar Edhi
Abdul Sattar Edhi is no unknown name in Pakistan, and around the globe. One of the most active philanthropist, social activist, and humanitarian in Pakistan, he hails from British India and moved to Karachi at the age of 20.

A lot can be said about this man, who is the epitome of compassion, perseverance, and courage. He has been a guiding light, a ray of hope, and a hero to many around the world. Here are some facts about him that are a true source of inspiration, and motivation to millions of individuals world over.

1. His life’s success- Edhi Foundation

One of the world’s largest ambulance service, and now the biggest humanitarian foundation in Pakistan, Edhi began his investment on merely 5,000rs. Today, the foundation entails having over 300 clinics, 2000 ambulances nationwide, 8 hospitals in Karachi alone, a cancer hospital, mobile clinics, free legal aid services and so much more. Thousands of lives have been saved through this one foundation.

2. He himself is extremely humble and leads a simple life

Several interviews, and a documentary on him showcased how the head of a million dollar foundation leads his life. He lives in a very ordinary, humble dwelling of a two bedroom apartment. He says he has only two pairs of clothes, and has never taken a single penny from the foundation.

3. He spends a lot of time with people in need

His day to day tasks involve spending time and educating orphaned children, traveling occasionally with ambulances at unfortunate events, bathing the handicapped, and spends his evenings having meals with the poor at the ‘Langar’ (free community meals) his organization’s setup.

4. He faces traveling issues

While traveling to foreign countries, he has been detained many times at several airports. He was detained for 16 hours at Toronto airport, interrogated for over 8 hours at JFK Airport, (New York,) arrested by Israeli troops while entering Lebanon, and denied entry to Gaza by the authorities.

When asked about his usual detentions, Edhi believes that this disrespect is due to his dress and his beard.

5. He loves M&M’s

We found this interesting fact through an article online where a documentary film maker spent months in Pakistan filming Abdul Sattar Edhi, and his work. The film maker, Bassam Tariq, in the interview mentions that getting Edhi to give his personal time was a heavy task to accomplish. After two trips from America, constant cries for a one-on-one interview, and showing their own persistent, it was the M&M’s that might have won Edhi’s heart.
