Pakistan’s first electronic grave belongs to Dr Ruth Pfau

KARACHI: In a groundbreaking invention, Pakistan introduced its first-ever electronic grave that functions on the QR scan technology.

Located in Karachi in the 'Gora Cemetery', the grave belongs to late German-born philanthropist Dr Ruth Pfau, who dedicated her life to fighting leprosy in Pakistan.

The smart electronic grave comes with a QR code that visitors can scan on their phones to access information about the late humanitarian and the lifelong services she rendered in helping out lepers.

After devoting almost 55 years of her life to this mission, Dr Pfau passed away at the age of 87 on August 10, 2017 leaving many deeply aggrieved.

She had been honoured with a state funeral that was broadcasted nationally.

Hailed as the ‘Mother Teresa of Pakistan’, Dr Pfau still lives on in people's hearts that she had touched over the years in her effort of making Pakistan leprosy-free.

It is a misnomer to call it an electronic grave..It just has a QR code which identifies her grave and provides the info about her. But it is a great idea and should be used for all grave and also for all the buildings (especially the offices etc) so people can easily locate them.

But my Moslem friend once told me that according to Islam, building grave is prohibited. Because one day it would result in entire earth being covered with graves. I may have misheard. Can someone throw light on it?
