巴基斯坦的“慈怀天使”艾德希(Abdul Sattar Edhi)在23岁时创办了当时巴基斯坦规模最大的非营利慈善——艾德希基金会(Edhi Foundation),向弱势和穷苦人民伸出援手。最为人知晓的是由他发起、1500辆救护车所组成的紧急救援车队。这支全球最庞大的民间自愿救护车随传随到,不分种族宗教,冒着生命危险救济所有伤者、病人,即使遇上恐怖袭击和天灾等都不停驶。艾德希去年7月8日逝世,享年88岁。
I always say, be human and preach humanity. I started my humanitarian service by strictly observing four principles: truth, simplicity, hard-work and punctuality, and I repeat, be human, preach humanity and adopt humanity.
我总对人说:要做好人,宣扬博爱精神。我当初创办人道主义服务时确保有四大原则要遵循:真实、朴实、勤奋与守时。容我再三强调:要做好人,宣扬博爱精神和采取人道行动。
My religion is humanitarianism, which is the basis of every religion in the world.
人道主义是我的宗教。世上每一个宗教本来就是以博爱为基础。
I am a beggar for the poor. Serving humanity is the biggest Jihad.
我为穷人行乞。侍奉人类是我此生最大的修行。
Empty words and long praises do not impress God. Show Him your faith by your deeds.
空洞的话语,冗长无谓的赞美打动不了神明。用你的行为来表现你对祂的信仰。
Whereas the entire meaning of the Quran must easily be interpreted by the lives of Muslims, Islam's followers abandoned its essence.
回教徒原应轻而易举地以他们的生活方式来诠释对可兰经的理解,但伊斯兰教诸多的追随者却与真主的精神背道而驰。
I do not have any formal education. What use is education when we do not become human beings? My school is the welfare of humanity.
我没受过正统教育。会读书但不懂得做一个好人有什么用?人的福利是我的学堂。
Take care of the poor people of my country. (Edhi's dying words)
请好好照顾我国家的穷人。(艾德希临终的遗言)
