The miracle that cured my mother

This is what my mother, ‘Atifa Hawa Kumbargi told me:

“After I had married your father, we lived in a small apartment in Beirut. About a month into the marriage, I was deep-frying when all of a sudden, hot oil splashed all over my chest and the right side of my face. I immediately washed my face with water and that made things worse and my face has become deformed. At that time, we were not financially able to afford the care of a physician, so I asked my mother for guidance and as a result, she had me accompany her to the pharmacy. The pharmacist at the Al-Sha’ar pharmacy told us that the burns are very serious and that he is skeptical about giving us any medication for it without first consulting a physician. After my mother had insisted, he gave us some medication. I also had asked my nephew, who worked at the fire department of Beirut, to give me burn medication, however, after he had a chance to see the extent of my burns, told me that my face will most likely remain deformed for the rest of my life. I returned home and remained locked-in, self-conscious that someone may see my deformed face.

Three days after this unfortunate incident took place, your father and I heard someone knocking on the door. Your father had asked me to open the door and as I did, I was face-to-face with Dr. Farid Abou-Suleiman, the Beloved Prophet, and two others Daheshists. I was very surprised to see them and welcomed them into my home. The Beloved Prophet congratulated us on our wedding and then after few minutes asked me to show him the other room. When we had entered the room, he began writing the Daheshist prayer for my sake and then after he had burnt it, he drew with his finger the Daheshist pentagram on my forehead. I don’t know exactly what happened, but the miracle happened and the burns began to subside little by little and then completely disappeared. By the next day, there were no traces of burns on my face, as if nothing had happened to me!”

What is also strange about this incident is as of this writing, my mother, at the age of 62, has a natural wrinkle-free face with a very soft complexion.
