Renowned Pakistani singer and social activist Shehzad Roy has clarified that his efforts in serving humanity have never been about earning sawab (reward).
Roy, known for his dedication to humanitarian causes, is one of Pakistan's leading artists who is deeply committed to making a difference.
While he has contributed significantly to the country through his music, he has also been running a trust called 'Zindagi' for several years, focusing on education.
Through his trust, Shehzad has made remarkable strides in the education sector in Pakistan, earning him numerous prestigious civil awards from the government.
In a recent interview, the renowned singer clarified his intentions, stating, "Whatever I have done so far in the fields of education or for hospitals has not been for the sake of earning sawab."
He explained that his mother engages in charitable activities with the intention of gaining rewards, such as financially helping those in need, feeding the hungry, or supporting a poor person's marriage.
However, Shehzad emphasized that his work in serving humanity has never been about seeking rewards.
"I focus on reformative work because if we start treating education and hospitals as charity, these sectors will deteriorate," he said.
Shehzad Roy further expressed his desire to create equal opportunities in education for all, eliminating any distinction between the rich and the poor.
