A Dramatic Haj Journey

Amer’s journey to Haj was filled with emotion and delays. He was initially stopped at the airport due to a security alert associated with his surname “Al-Gaddafi,” which remains sensitive in some global systems due to Libya’s past political unrest.

As his fellow pilgrims boarded the flight, Amer was held back by immigration. Despite this, he remained hopeful. “I will not move from here unless it’s toward Haj,” he reportedly told officials.

In a twist of fate, the plane experienced a technical fault shortly after take-off and had to return. A second attempt also failed, raising concerns among the passengers and crew. Witnesses say the pilot made a vow, saying, “I swear I won’t fly again unless Amer is with us on this plane.”

Amer was soon cleared to travel. On the third attempt, with him on board, the plane took off successfully and landed safely in Saudi Arabia.

Faith and Fate

The emotional story quickly went viral, with many calling it a sign of divine intervention. Social media users praised Amer’s determination and unwavering belief.

Speaking to reporters, Amer said:

“I only wanted to go to Haj. If it was written for me, nothing could stop it.”
