A very pious, hard working and cooperative person, who always
meet people by paying Salam and say JazakAllah even if he earn a little amount
of money, who is he? Can you guess is he a shopkeeper only, who is satisfied
with his income at all or everything is a piece of cake for him? No, he is
basically a 32 year old handicap guy Muhammad Ali, who apart of doing Bachelor
in Mass communication also does a part-time job at Karachi University to bear
his expenses.
Basically, Mr Ali is among those persons who are somehow
disabled in their life but nothing can stop them to achieve their goals and
despite of physical impairment, they made their life lightened with the mental
strength and personal intuition. “To live a felicitous and especially
prestigious life is the main essence of my struggle”, he stated.
On asking the question about the cause of disability he said,
“Due to the attack of Polio in childhood my legs were paralysed and this
makes me dependent on a wheelchair for throughout my life.”He added, “But
I don’t depend on others for any kind of financial aid as my Prestige is more
important than my life. Also I don’t compromise on my self-respect and for me
it is better to die instead pan handling in front of others,”
Telling about his family background, he told “When I was only
15 years old my parent had passed away. However, I have 2 siblings who are
spliced and live in Lahore. While, from last 6 years, I have been living in the
Staff Club with my Aunt, who is like my Mother.”
He further said, “The source of my income is this small stall
(stationary) which I place near the Silver Jubilee gate from 8 am to 2 pm.
Initially, I started on a small-scale i.e. from Rs. 400 only. But now it is
somehow extended and today I have stuff of Rs 20,000 to 25,000. I feel glad
that now by the grace of Allah I am able to buy a three-wheeler bike from my
earning.”
While, talking about his academic achievements, he said “I
have done my metric and inter privately, then I enrolled in 2012 evening
program at the department of International relation and after completing my one
year in that department I transferred to the Department of Mass communication
BS 2nd year and still I am a studying in the BS 2nd year. ”
He also praised the behaviour of Karachi University staff in
these words, “The members of the University always cooperate with me and
basically they are like my family members. In addition, students considered me
as their elder brother and take suggestion from me on their academic matters.”
Apart from the praise, he also expressed his views on the lack
of facilities provided by the KU to disabled students, “It’s very sad that in
such a big University there are no ramps or separate transport facility
available for us. But, I have decided that InshaAllah in my department I will
make an inclined plane in front of the Department as for riding a wheelchair.
Also, I personally talked to the Chairman of my Department Dr Tahir Masood in
this regard who also agreed with me and InshaAllah in the near future you will
see it.”
Telling about his future ambition he proclaimed, “InshaAllah
after doing my Ph.D in Mass communication I will apply for a scholarship to go
abroad for studies. So, I will achieve my passion with
patience. While, the personality which inspire me the most is
scientist Stephen Hawking, who is also disabled like me but never let his
disabilities to come in his path of glory.”
Moreover, he gave golden advice for the upcoming generation,
“Every human, whether disabled or not should works hard on their hidden
abilities and don’t go for a short cut. Also, always put your trust in Allah,
as Disappointment, hopelessness should not daunt us if Allah helps you.”
