Watch: Pak shepherd wandering around Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah goes viral

[ad_1]
A video of an elderly Pakistani shepherd wandering around the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah in a simple yet eye-catching attire, goes viral on social media platforms.
In a viral video clip, 82-year-old Abdul Qadir Baksh can be seen walking in the courtyard of Prophet’s Mosque barefoot and frail, with a long muslin cloth draped over his turban.
What caught the photographer’s eye was his innocence and unworldly attitude. Many compared his appearance exectly that of Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA)— closest companion and advisor of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Watch the video below
Abdul Qadir Baksh from Hub Balochistan, has just returned back to the country after offering Umrah.
He had been saving money for 15 years to make the pilgrimage and does not even own a mobile phone.
“I feel like all my worries have vanished. My heart is content. I am not even short of sustenance, I am happy. My wish to visit the shrine of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Makkah have been granted,” Bakhsh told Arab News.
Baksh also expressed his desire to go on Hajbthis time, praying to ALLAH to grant him success.
The video gained a lot of traction and even high-profile figures such as adviser to Saudi Crown Prince Turki Al-Sheikh tweeted about finding Baksh.

Chairman of the Entertainment Authority, Turki Al Sheikh, wrote on Twitter, in response to the video clip of Abdul Qadir, and said good news, who will guide me to it?
يبشر … من يدلني عليه ؟

“Wonderful & will be glad if he accepts our offer to sponsor him for his Hajj Travels,” he tweeted.

“A dedication to the country of the Two Holy Mosques, the landing site of revelation and the land of the message, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” he added.

The video shows Makkah and Madinah completely lit up, and stunning images of the Grand Mosque.
Al Neyadi pans the camera over Madinah and says, “This is Madinah, the city to which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) immigrated with his beloved people.”
Then he moves the camera to show Jeddah.
“This is the city of Jeddah, often referred to as the Bride of the Red Sea,” Al Neyadi says.
Then move the camera to show Makkah and says, “The holy city of Makkah, where the message of Islam was rooted with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.”

Al Neyadi’s special gift came as crowds of worshippers performed the Isha and Taraweeh prayers on Monday at the Grand Mosque to glorify the 27th night of Ramzan, while also celebrating the last ten days of Ramzan, which many Muslims consider the most blessed.
Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi made history on March 2 by becoming the first Arab to join a long-term space mission that will last six months as part of SpaceX’s crew.
The mission is a historic landmark for the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, named Endeavor, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, carried the Emirati astronaut along with two NASA astronauts, Mission Commander Stephen Bowen, Pilot Warren Hoburg, and Roscosmos Cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.
Sultan Al Neyadi will be the first Arab to walk in space when he exits the International Space Station on April 28.
