It was back in 2015 that Muslim millionaire Ali Banat was diagnosed with cancer, a diagnosis which he used as a catalyst to use his wealth to enact positive change.
He was initially told he had only seven months to live, but Banat - from Sydney, Australia - eventually survived for more than two years longer than doctors predicted. He passed away earlier this week, but the philanthropist and former businessman has spent the last few years raising money for underprivileged Muslims around the world, while also battling his terminal illness.
In the years prior to his diagnosis, Banat lived a luxurious life filled with fast cars, expensive clothing and countless other material possessions, but once he realized he was sick, he said he realized he had been chasing the wrong goals.
