HOLY SITES — After 18 months of living in
complete darkness, a Tunisian woman pilgrim
regained her eyesight while standing on Arafat at
the climax of the Haj.
The 70-year-old Nafeesa Al-Qurmazi, mother of
two boys and three girls, said she came to the
Kingdom for Haj totally blind and is now going
back to Tunisia with her full eyesight.
She lost her eyesight after she had a stroke
about a year and a half ago. The doctors lost all
hope that she would regain eyesight due to the
severity of the stoke and her age.
"I have never lost hope in the providence of
Allah. I kept praying to Him all the time to give
me back my eyesight," she said.
Qurmazi said she decided to increase her Duaa
(supplication) in Arafat and was sure that “Allah
would not disappoint me. While doing the Duaa
in Arafat I suddenly started to see. When the
other pilgrims in my tent saw me crying with joy,
they all started chanting Allahu Akbar," she said.
Qurmazi said all the way from Tunisia she had
been cherishing one dream: To see the holy
sites, Makkah and Madinah. "Thank God now I
can see and walk anywhere without any
assistance from anyone," she said.
She said she was overjoyed to see the pilgrims
in Arafat, a scene she never expected to be true
to her. "Allah has blessed me with my eyesight
in the most sacred place on earth," she said.
