00:00I have been working as a taxi driver for 49 years.
00:04Till date, the maximum fare that a passenger paid me was Rs. 50,000.
00:09I have 12 wives, and I don't even remember most of them.
00:13Who were they? Where were they from?
00:15I can't even talk about my children.
00:17I had cancer, but the government took care of all my expenses.
00:21Even my flights were paid by the government.
00:24Assalamu Alaikum viewers, I am Adil Tanveer.
00:26The story I am going to tell you today is about a Saudi taxi driver.
00:31Since many of our foreign brothers in Saudi Arabia work in this sector,
00:38we are sharing this story with you.
00:40We would like to know how long have you been working in the taxi sector in Saudi Arabia?
00:46Are you satisfied with this profession?
00:48Do you believe that there is so much wealth and money in this profession
00:53that even a 49-year-old Saudi is not doing any other job,
00:56but is still working in the taxi sector?
00:59Do share your experience with us.
01:02This person's name is Khairan Al Rashidi,
01:06and in an interview, he told the story of his life to Al Arabiya Channel.
01:12Let's watch this video to find out who we are talking about,
01:16and then we will tell you in detail.
01:18February 2nd, 1946.
01:20I was driving a taxi from Suhaili.
01:23I was driving a taxi for 35 years.
01:26I went to Jordan and Qaddad.
01:28I went to Syria and Qaddad.
01:29I went everywhere.
01:31We don't have a country.
01:32We have two parents.
01:33They give us what is rightfully ours.
01:34I got married in Haleem al-Aqaba.
01:35I married a Saudi woman.
01:36I divorced her when she died.
01:38She is a Kuwaiti woman.
01:39She is a Saudi woman.
01:41Mr. Rashidi said on his channel that he has been driving a taxi for 49 years.
01:48I did not only work for Saudi Arabia, but also for other Arab states.
01:53I also worked there.
01:56He was asked how much tip a passenger gives.
02:02He said that he left Abu Dhabi for a taxi,
02:06and he paid me 50,000 riyals.
02:10With his own happiness.
02:11That is the biggest gift I have ever received.
02:15He was asked about his life.
02:18He said that he traveled a lot for work.
02:21He went to different countries.
02:23He worked.
02:24I got married in every country.
02:26But most of them were Saudi women.
02:30He said that he got married 12 times.
02:33Two of them were with me.
02:35One of them died.
02:37I divorced one of them.
02:39I remember everything.
02:42Who was she?
02:43Where was she from?
02:44I was surprised to hear these details.
02:47A person gets married so many times.
02:49Islam has given permission.
02:50But there are such marriages that a person does not even know.
02:53He does not even remember who he got married to.
02:56Marriage is a big thing.
02:58But maybe he did it in such a large number that he does not remember.
03:03He was asked if he was satisfied with this job.
03:05I am very satisfied with this job.
03:07Even today, despite my old age, I am doing this job.
03:11My two wives and children are with me.
03:14They are doing very well with this job.
03:17He is a Saudi.
03:18Despite spending 49 years, he did not do any business.
03:22He did not do anything else.
03:24He is in the same sector.
03:26According to him, there is so much money in it that he can easily survive.
03:31He said that he had cancer during this time.
03:36But the government treated my cancer.
03:39Even the transportation fees, car, air ticket, rail ticket, in any field,
03:46was paid by the government of Saudi Arabia.
03:49So here I understood that whether the person is a worker or an officer,
03:54when the state is like a mother, then the person's life becomes very good.
03:58Otherwise, if this person had to get cancer treated on his own,
04:03then maybe 3-4 jobs would not have been enough for him.
04:06So firstly, he is thankful for his hard work.
04:09Allah is giving him blessings.
04:11Secondly, the state also takes care of him.
04:13So now he is absolutely fine.
04:15His cancer is over.
04:16The state treated him completely.
04:18So in this regard, you must comment.
04:20How long have you been in this job?
04:22What do you want to say?
04:24After spending 30, 40, 35 years in Saudi Arabia,
04:27what is your opinion?
04:29Staying away from children, staying away from family,
04:31and earning livelihood,
04:33what do you see in all of this?
04:35And especially, the brothers in the taxi sector,
04:38do comment on this.
04:40And about your professional life,
04:42earning a living,
04:44write what is in your heart.
