Born in Benghazi, Libya, in 1969, and drowned this week in Turkey, and between the different places of birth and death, the man lived a life full of volatile events that brought him close to the hearts of those around him, who fell to mourn after his Lord met.
The Libyan Sheikh Abdul Azim al-Farawi, the Quran memorizer, preacher and preacher in Benghazi, famous for his influential sermons, drowned in Turkey trying to save two young Turkish men from drowning.
According to Turkish sources, Sheikh al-Farawi was on a picnic with his family to one of the beaches of Istanbul, and then jumped into the water after he saw two people drown, rescued them, and suffered severe fatigue due to the resistance to the waves, and died in hospital internal bleeding.
Sheikh Al-Farawi's initiative to save the Turkish citizens was preceded by several initiatives to help a large number in Libya and elsewhere in his possession.He has already donated part of his liver to save a Libyan citizen from death, even though his age does not allow such a dangerous operation.
According to Libyan media reports, Sheikh al-Farawi served as the captain of a ship after graduating from the Naval College in 1993. He has scientific degrees in Sharia, and many have memorized the Koran at his hands.
One of the great plagues experienced by the late Sheikh was his arrest by the militias of retired Major General Khalifa Hifter in 2014, which further deteriorated his health due to torture, before he was released in 2015.
He then moved to live in Turkey, where he worked in teaching at the school of King Idris Senussi, and lived there with his family of wife and eight children.

In an article in the Yeni فقafak newspaper, he praised the late, saying, "It seems that Sheikh Abdul Azim has witnessed many things until God blessed him with martyrdom."
