A person – yet similar to an institution
• Low educated in philanthropy – yet highly self
educated and highly qualified in the knowledge of Philanthropy, and
exclusively about the significance of practical service to the nation
and country of Pakistan as well as humanity relatively to others who are
having highly educated and highly qualified degrees in philanthropy yet
not playing any practical role and many other highly educated and highly
qualified people never pay a single penny or a single dime, and so on
for the cause of service to humanity
•Low certified in education – yet highly educated and
highly qualified, relatively to those who are having highly educated and
highly qualified degrees, yet mostly never take any step ahead to give
education to the needy and helpless people
•Low profile and self effacing man – yet enjoying a
King-like popularity, respect, and prestige across the globe
•Austerity and simplicity – despite passing enormous
and huge amounts through his hands, he never became arrogant and haughty
yet the simplicity and austerity is obviously seen from his personality,
relatively to those people – at the corridors of power not only in
Pakistan even across the world.
Edhi is being called as Abbu (in Urdu) Father or Nana (in Urdu)
Grandfather by the children being fostered at Edhi homes, whilst other
people call him as the “Rahmet kaa Firishtah” means Angel of Mercy, all
these realities indicated that, Edhi has been descended on earth by God
Almighty to save, foster, and take care of the neglected, deprived, and
abandoned children, disabled people, elderly helpless men and women,
injured, mentally retarded, drugs addicted, natural disasters’ affected
people, and so on
Even stories of grave crime can be seen in media by the powerful people
in the corridors of power. You might be seeing that how they suppress
and depress the poor, instead of helping and serving them, which means
the biggest criminals on the earth – who are suppressing the poor and
helpless people
Determination like a mountain to promote the noble cause of service to
humanity – despite neglecting by the socially, religiously, and
politically influential people exclusively neglecting from the western
champions of human rights, coupled with the threats from the extremist
circles of the society, Edhi serves the humanity without any fear and
without any pause – again a greatest source of strength, support, and
assistance for the poor and needy in the era of such critical crisis and
time of difficulties
Time exclusively reserved for the service to humanity – Edhi
categorically has refused to so many individuals and people, from
participating in the social gatherings thereby clearly telling them that
don’t invite me him participate in any social ceremony that wastes his
time waste, his time is totally reserved for the service to humanity – a
unique vision, can be seen in anyone among not in the millions but among
very few in the billions of people
Real defender and promoter of the rights of women – at such time when
people are not ready to give education to their daughters, Edhi gives
education to the girls by considering them as his daughters, gives
preference to hire ladies for the jobs offered by Edhi Foundation, given
the leading roles by selecting them to head many departments of his
widespread foundation.
