Prominent artist, social crusader and peace activist Jimmy Engineer has called upon the people to study, understand and adhere to the teachings of great saints and revert to Sufism for achieving success in life and overcoming all their worldly problems and grievances.
In his periodical telephonic conversation with a group of journalist friends on the eve of the Independence Day, Jimmy Engineer said the message of love, brotherhood, peace, harmony and tolerance and above all unflinching faith in Almighty Allah contained in the teachings of the great saints provided for solution of all the problems and riddance. We adhere to their sayings in letter and spirit in dedicated and committed manner.
Jimmy Engineer said that if you have faith in and fear none but Almighty Allah then you are not afraid any one, howsoever powerful he/she may be, in the world. He said Almighty Allah is the greatest artist of all times as "Al-Musawwir" is one of His name.
He said that he had painted his famous and popular Pakistan Movement series of paintings on the basis of images of bloodshed, violence torture and people filled trains which he was seeing in dreams while trying to sleep for a long period as he himself was born seven years after Pakistan had come into existence in August 1954 in a remote area of Balochistan, Loralai. He said that when he was working on a huge canvass, the images stopped coming in his dreams and he had left that canvass unfinished and incomplete there and then.
He said he had since long dedicated the Pakistan Movement series paintings to the millions of men, women and children who struggled, suffered and even lost their lives for the creation of a separate Motherland of their own under the inspiring leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He said that he is painting for years together, most of his earning coming from sale of paintings he spends in helping the needy people to the maximum extent possible. He said he firmly believes in reaching out the people to help them and this is what is expected from all others individuals and organisations who want the needy, poor and destitute people should be coming to them.
Jimmy Engineer said that he is committed to serve the needy people in general and the Special Children in particular in order to alleviate their sufferings as much as possible. He said that he had presented canvass prints of his Pakistan Movement and other paintings including the architectural compositions and the poverty series to each of the institution as well as the Rotary Club, which he had visited.
