After his video at Masjid-e-Nabawi in traditional Balochi attire garnered praise and prompted a response from adviser to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a Pakistani shepherd’s post went viral on social media.
The 82-year-old, who instantly rose to fame on social media, was given a hero’s welcome when he returned home after making a pilgrimage, and surprise, as people went to meet him and take pictures with Abdul Qadir Bakhsh, he unexpectedly became a well-known “Peer,” a spiritual healer.
According to reports, he is now holding meet and greet events with the locals after hundreds of thousands of people loved him online for wandering around in traditional clothing with a stick in his hand.
The goat shepherd that went viral recently experienced an unexpected change in his way of life. He could be seen blessing his supporters as they flocked to see him. As evidenced by some eye-catching posters featuring his image that are making the rounds online, the man has sponsors as well.
While many social media users claimed that his new business will help him raise money and that he will soon receive a shrine after his death like most other local saints, only a small number of people praised him for helping others.
