Tribute to Ali Banat.
May He's Soul Rest In Peace.
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live, Our Brother Had a wonderful life until the Day He Was Diagnosed with Testicular Cancer that redirected His Humanity Making Self Conscious that His Life was Set for a greater purpose, Which He understood His Life Has just Began to Move Forward Not Backwards, Allah has given him the chance to change.
Death only Takes the Body, Allah takes the soul, our minds holds the Memories Our Heart Keeps the Love.Our Faith Lets us Knows We will Meet Again/
Ali was from Greenacre in Sydney’s south-west and made a comfortable living, running a successful business. In his Gifted with Cancer video, he showed off his bedroom which was lined with Louis Vuitton shoes, the only brand of footwear he wore, and a bracelet costing $60,000 (£33,945). One of his cars included a Ferrari Spider worth $600,000 (£339,237.50). But as soon as he got sick, he realised none of it meant anything to him. ‘When you find out you’re sick or you don’t have much time to live, this is the last thing you want to chase. And that’s how we should live our lives everyday,’ he said.
He was told he had seven months to live but instead lived for another three years, a time which he dedicated to doing good. His organisation MATW has helped thousands of people across a number of countries including Togo, Ghana, and Burkina Faso. Ali visited various countries in Africa himself and worked hard to find sponsors so 100% of the donations could go to the project and not be divided with administrative fees.
With the money, MATW aimed to build villages for over 200 widows, a mosque, a school to house 600 orphans, a mini hospital/medical centre, and businesses to support the local community. Muslims and beyond are now backing the charity as they remember his life and all the important work he did. One Twitter user wrote: ‘For most people, myself included, cancer would’ve been the breaking of me. However, for brother Ali Banat it was the making of him. Truly an inspiration to many. May Allah grant him a place in the highest ranks of Jannah (heaven).’ Popular YouTuber Adam Saleh also shared a tribute saying he was an inspiration, as did many others. Most of his followers are now urging one another to remember Ali in their prayers.
