Shabbir Ibne Adil braves Coronavirus lockdown, continues great work

During a period when almost every conceivable activity has been halted due to the threats of Coronavirus pandemic, Shabbir Ibne Adil has set an example by continuing his noble work from the platform of Idarae Ilm Dost which he had founded with the collaboration of some like-minded intellectuals. 

Being an intellectual and a social worker is another matter but engaging into welfare pursuits at a time when there is virtual lockdown and people are refraining from leaving their houses is something beyond the call of duty and it merits lavish praise. 

On March 19, 2020, yes the date has to be remembered because of the ongoing lockdown, Shabbir Ibne Adil paid a visit to the Shah Muhi-ul-Haq Academy which is located in Karachi’s outskirts, Gulshan-e-Maymar to be precise.


A resident of Gulistan-e-Jauhar, he drove all the way to Gulshan-e-Maymar with his gift package of 25 books which he donated to Shah Muhi-ul-Haq Academy for their library housed there. 

The academy, which has been carrying out literary and cultural activities regularly, has been established in the memory of the late Shah Muhi-ul-Haq Farooqui, who was a great scholar. 

Upon arrival at the academy, Shabbir Ibne Adil was warmly greeted by Tasneem-ul-Haq Farooqui, who also happens to be one of the founding members of Idarae Ilm Dost. Both the gentlemen shook hands intensely, something many people are keen on avoiding these days.
