I don't understand what you're saying.

Who are you judge him? First of all ?? Are you Allah ?

I never judged him. Read over my posts again.

You just went to say he him not being agnostic and all. Like do you even have the audacity?
If he is religious or not religious that shouldn't matter to you! What did you do for this country?

 

[Areesh]

I do hope that the reports of him being an agnostic were untrue.

I do hope you don't post cr@p like this on other threads.

Not every, but majority of them do bro

It is sad that you have this perception of the clergy. I am sure it is because the general nature of the religious scholars in Pakistan may be as you described but not in the UK.

I said that I hoped the reports of him being agnostic were untrue as I want him to enter Heaven. It matters to me because I want him to be rewarded for his services. What have you done for Pakistan?

I do hope you don't post cr@p like this on other threads.

Please expand on your point.

Please expand on your point.

You have already nearly given a fatwa on Edhi being an atheist since that is more important than all the services he did for humanity.

 

[salarsikander]

What have you done for Pakistan

Fair enough

For starters I haven't forsaken my land and my people.

There are two ways to keep a legend alive
1 make him tomb sing his praises make images give him some title but don't act on what he was teaching or doing
2 keep his work going , spread it prompte it
Which i dont see happening

I don't remember when did i last time stay for khutba of jumma prayers. Because i know what they are gonna talk about. Secondly, name any cleric who stood with children of Thar (more than 500 died of starvation), name any cleric who stood by any girl/women who got rapped, name any cleric who issued fatwa on politocal thives. ....So there are thousand of cases i can name.
My point is why should i listen to lame and insane voice if i can read and understand Quran myself. They are misguiding people. They only talk about jahad and obscenity because they have there own personal interest. Rather it has become a decent business for them.

I'll leave you to hold your own opinion and I'll stop discussing this here in fear of going off-topic.

SBP unveils Rs50 coin to commemorate Edhi

KARACHI:April 1, 2017............ A Rs50 coin was unveiled at the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Friday, March 31, 2017, to commemorate the services of late well known social worker Abdus Sattar Edhi.

A statement here said that Faisal Edhi, son of Abdus Sattar Edhi, was also present on the occasion. Governor State Bank Ashraf Mahmood Wathra, presented the commemorative coin to Faisal Edhi.

The SBP governor paid tribute to the late Abdul Sattar Edhi and informed the audience that Pakistan had issued only five commemorative coins highlighting personalities including Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Shair-e-Mashrique Allama Muhammed Iqbal, Madar-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, and now Abdus Sattar Edhi.

Edhi is the only social worker who has been honored with a commemorative coin, he said. He stated that in July 2016, the State Bank had organised a condolence gathering to pay homage to Edhi, where the commemorative coin announcement was made. On the recommendation of the State Bank, the prime minister had decided to issue a coin to commemorate Edhi's services at national level.

The wide scope of Edhi Foundation's services reflects the late philanthropist's deep insight into various social issues, he said, adding that in rendering his services Edhi made no distinctions of geographical limits, color, race, nationality and religion.

The best way to pay tribute to Edhi Sahib is to espouse his cause and cooperate in all philanthropic activities, he added. Faisal Edhi thanked the SBP and the government of Pakistan for issuing the coin commemorating Edhi's services to the humanity.

He said that Abdus Sattar Edhi would remain alive in the hearts of the nation, his mission should continue forever for the benefit of people. The ceremony began with Abid Qamar, Chief spokesperson of the SBP, welcoming the participants. Qamar told the audience that issuance of commemorative coins started on the birth centenary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah when three coins were issued.

Twenty-seven coins commemorating various personalities and occasion have been issued, including 100th and 150th anniversaries of Islamia College Peshawar and Lawrence College. He informed the audience that commemorative coins would be available from today at SBP field offices throughout the country. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Governor, Riaz Riazuddin, Managing Director SBP BSC, Qasim Nawaz, other senior officers of the Bank and Edhi Foundation volunteers.

I wish we had more people like Edhi. His loss will be felt by Pakistan for a long time. He was a very noble, selfless and kind person. This is the least that our country can to to honour him.

 

[war&peace]

To appreciate his services to the name truly, the state bank of Pakistan should issue a gold dinar (coin) with his initials inscribed on it

 

[ghazi52]

Great person.

Wouldn't Edhi have been furious to have his name exploited like this? - for the purpose of supporting the government, not charity?
