Abdul Rashid Ghazi is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on January 29, 1964 in Islamabad, Pakistan. In his youth Abdul Rashid defied his father’s wish that he receive formal Islamic education as he wanted to live a modern life. He completed his MSc in International Relations from Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad in 1987–1988. According to one of his professors, “He was a normal, modern student who was well adjusted to a co-educational system.” Remembered by his friends as “a bright student and an active member of a progressive student organisation”, He could have been a diplomat in the foreign office or an educationist,” his friend once stated in an interview.

Ghazi was a well-known activist against enforced disappearances in Pakistan. In 2004, he founded Defense of Muslim Rights, and in 2006, he co-founded Defence of Human Rights Pakistan, together with human rights activist Amina Masood Janjua and Khalid Khawaja.

In early 2005, one morning just after dawn, Ghazi was returning from teaching a class at the Al Faridia Seminary (which he managed and was the chancellor of). He was driving along a four-lane highway in the shadow of the Margalla Hills when he noticed that someone in a nearby car was waving a gun at him. Ghazi fired warning shots from his licensed pistol, confusing the assassins, after which they sped away. It’s the reason why he always carried an AK-47.

On 20 September 2007, bin Laden released a new tape called “Come to Jihad” with his voice over previously released footage of him. In the tape bin Laden called on Pakistanis, especially the soldiers, to overthrow President Pervez Musharraf, promising what he called retaliation for the storming of the Red Mosque, stating that “twenty years after the soil of Pakistan soaked up the blood of one of the greatest jihadi fighters, the Imam Abdallah Azzam, today Pakistan is witness to the death of another great Muslim, Imam Abdul al-Rashid Ghazi.” Another leading Al-Qaida operative, Abu Yahya al-Libi, in a statement dated to 31 July 2007, talked of him as being “at the top of this regiment of lions is the courageous imam and the active scholar, the martyr, the son of a martyred father, and a martyred mother too, as we consider them as such, but Allah is the final Judge, Abd-al-Rashid Ghazi, may Allah bestow His mercy upon them, who spoke the truth at a time of subordination, and exalted faith at a time of submissiveness, and despised he who was evil and proud, who depended on his own strength and relied on his own omnipotence. He would confidently, surely and serenely tell him, ‘You depend on your audacity and conceit, but I depend on Allah’.”

Abdul Rashid Ghazi first came on the scene in 2001, when the religious parties of the country announced an organization for the defense of Afghanistan against the American invasion.
