I am now going to present a brief detail about life and work
of Abdul Sattar Edhi.
Early Life:
Edhi was born in Gujarat city of India. When Edhi was just
11 years old his mother got ill and Edhi took care of her but when Edhi was
just 19 years old his mother died and he felt that there must be a system
developed especially for poor people that can take care of them.
At the time of partition of India his family was also
migrated to Pakistan and they started life in Karachi. Edhi started working in
a wholesale shop of cloth. After a few years of working their Edhi started a
free dispensary for poor people. This was the first social activity. In 2009
Edhi started begging for poor and initiated benches for poor peoples who were
sleeping on footpaths of Karachi. He told that those people were infected by
flue so he decided to help them. Edhi also bought rooms for them.
Edhi devoted his 60 years to help the poor people. He
started Edhi foundation with 5000 rupees only.
Later on Edhi also established Edhi trust to help the poor
everywhere. After a few time he changed the name of trust to Bilqis welfare
trust. And after working hard today Edhi trust is biggest trust of our country.
Edhi got so many donations from the whole country and
expanded his work. He made houses for poor and started serving for them. Edhi
trained many people to work around the all Pakistan. He created small
dispensaries and clinics in rural and urban arrears.
Edhi started his organization with zero rupees and today

Abdul Sattar Edhi also joined politics but as we know that
politics is not for people who have creative and bright mind. Edhi also does
not have much money to waste there so he lost in election as he was a candidate
for M.N.A. After that he left politics and devoted his remaining life for
welfare society.
In 25th January 2013 Edhi felt ill and Doctors
suggested dialyses for him. Edhi was ill and he declared that after his death
his body parts should also be donated to poor people.
His whole life was full of sympathy and truth. He never
tried to waste his life in outdoor activities and he spent his whole income in
welfare purposes. Edhi sons and daughters also worked hard for Edhi welfare
organization as he was ill.
He died on 8th July 2016 and he was buried in
Edhi village near Karachi city.
As per Edhi advice his eyes were donated after
his death.
Such a person is not anywhere in the whole world. May
almighty Allah bless him and may his soul rest in heaven with peace. May Allah
make everyone such a person? We should obey his rules and help and donate as
much as we can. Due to it we can make our country more powerful and people can
spend their life with calm and easily.
