" we get enough from Pakistanis, we dont take money from abroad"
" I never went to anyone to ask for money, whenever i needed money, I just go and stand on footpath, even the poorest man gives me money, all the NGOS from abroad offered him money,Edhi always mantained, Im Pakistan and I will only take alms from Pakistanis"
his edhi home nationwide is open to everyone, regardless of their class, identity or faith.
he is explaining something else. you have misrepresented his words
what you have attributed to him would be a deviant belief
mr edhi is not deserving of this suspicion
I did not misrepresentated his words...i know what he is saying..in Islam humanity comes first.you cannot be agood muslim...unless you are a good human being in the eyes of Allah swt....the video uploader could hav used the exact quote....but it doesnt really make a difference...any sane person would know wht he meant...
If the statement was not made by Edhi then how is it okay to say it was said by him? To say no religion is higher than humanity sounds like a slogan for the humanists. It does not sound like a Muslim statement.
If we say Islam requires us to give in aid to people of any religion - this is saying something else.
Another confusing aspect of the opening post is that on one hand Edhi is open to everyone regardless of class, identity (I think you mean - race and family background) and faith, yet on the other hand he does not charity for his organisation from people outside the borders of Pakistan - so by doing this ... the good man has indeed taken a nationalistic stance hasn't he?

Do not worry brother! He has already been declared Kafir by Ulem-e-Haq!
if these are not exactly mr. edhi's words then please edit your title to reflect accuracy and truth.
if not I will take the liberty of doing so myself as I am not comfortable with a quotation being wrongly attributed to someone.
I could never even think about attributing a wrong statement to someone like Edhi Shahib, its just the video uploader had the same title and I without thinking put the same title as well....
however, people who know him and watched the entire video would know what he was saying
anyhow please change it! ...
thank you!

no, seems like you didnt see the entire video, remember in the video he himself said that Alhumdulilah he has the resources and capability to deal with any sort of emergency not only in Pakistan, but also outside Pakistan .... I think thts a huge achievement itself that his foundation does not need to rely on foreign NGOS assistance to fix our problems. We have enough resources to look after her own people, we dont need to spread our hands in front of others ... In the video, he was saying even a poor man comes and gives him money, so he gets enough money from just within Pakistan, moreover, he said he does this good work for his countrymen, if they they are happy with him, he will continue to do so, if not he wouldnt ....wht i understood, it seems like they do not accept from foreign NGOS, but yes on individual bases , overseas Pakistanis can donate and they do accept.
