The greatest way in which the youth can show respect to Sir Fazle Hasan Abed is to emulate at least one of his great qualities and adopt it as a way of life. I sincerely hope through his work and legacy, Sir Abed has sown the seeds of future leaders like him in today’s youth of Bangladesh. In each of us, there is a Abed and hence he cannot die!
Ashfaque Kabir
A greatest Bengali person who did everything for his country, people and the liberation war. I remember profoundly his sacrifice, devotion and works. Respect, Love and Prayer for you Mr. Knight Bengal.

He was a knight who led the charge in a very different kind of war. A war to uplift people in suffering. A war to end discrimination in all its forms. He will remain immortalised in the hearts of the millions reached during and after his time. Thank you for giving a damn sir.

Abid Bhai, You are the Entrepreneurs of Poorests and you have believed and inspired millions of poor in Bangladesh and around the world that they are the most daring entrepreneurs, who can change their destiny and lead the world. Abid bhai you can know take rest and we should work until the last poor in planet is not touched to realise that their potential of entrepreneurship.

My daughter, then 6, asks Sir Fazle Hasan Abed: "What? You`re a knight? Have you fought on horseback with a sword?" Sir Abed answers: "Well, that was what knights did a long time ago. Now we [knights] fight different wars." Yes, this knight in shining armor fought poverty using WMDs, Weapons of Mass Development. A legend gone...but the legacy remains. R.I.P.
Naveed Mahbub
He fought the good fight. His actions will cross generations. Thanks Fazle

Tonight is not the same here. Sir Fazle Hasan Abed is the kind of person who can never really die, rather he will live by his work for eternity among us. Seeing a person like him in my lifetime and meeting him few times was an absolute privilege for me. Not many men shape a country or world in true sense. You will live forever sir.
Monsurul Aziz
Sir Abed was a giant - and a personal hero. His legacy reverberates among the millions reached through BRAC. So sad to learn of this loss but inspired by his impact.

RIP, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed. Founder of perhaps the largest NGO in the world, running a whole parallel set of social services in Bangladesh, and increasingly at the fore of evidence-based anti-poverty programs around the world.
Justin Sandefur
Thank you for being the beacon of hope for millions. It`s not easy to articulate what you meant for not just people at @BRACworld but to changemakers around the world. We promise to be worthy of your legacy, Abed bhai.
Rakib Avi
Goodbye Sir Abed, thank you for showing the world how the poor lack the means but have plenty of talent to work their way out of poverty.
Oriana Bandiera
Our deepest condolences for your loss. Abed was such an inspirational role model and a guiding light for us. May he Rest In Peace.

Great man. Have read his life story many times and know the decisions he made towards turning his life towards serving others instead of living in England.
Ershad Khandker

We lost more than a great leader. We lost a symbol of what it means to lead.

Such tragic news, my sincere condolences to the family and entire global BRAC family. I have fond memories of my time with BRAC, it was a pleasure to work with and know Sir Abed Bhai. An inspiration. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Sofeena Lalani
The true lover of poor people of home and abroad, who worked all of his life bringing happiness and smiles on the sad faces, left us. Thank you for your service sir. Rest in peace.
Shakhawat Chowdhury
He was a tireless fighter against poverty and inequality. He touched the lives of millions over the last 47 years, fueled by a desire to leave the world a better place than he found it, and did so with characteristic humility and resolve. He is an inspiration to us all. May his soul rest in eternal peace!
Ashirul
Oh what a shocking and sad news. Sir Fazle is one of the most inspiring people I had the privilege to meet. My condolences to his family, to BRAC and to the whole NGO community in Bangladesh.
