A young Libyan man named Amer was traveling for Hajj when he encountered a security problem regarding his name during the airport procedures. Security told him, “We will try to solve it for you, but you have to wait with us a little while.” The other pilgrims completed their procedures, boarded the plane, and the door closed. Minutes later, Amer’s problem was resolved, but the pilot refused to open the door for him, and the plane took off.
The security officers at the airport tried to console him, saying, “Allah is victorious; He does not make things easy for you.” However, Amer refused to leave the airport and insisted, “I intend to perform Hajj, and In Sha Allah, I will go.”
Suddenly, they received a report that the plane had a malfunction and was returning. The plane returned and was maintained, but the pilot still refused to open the door. The officer told him, “It was not meant for you.” Amer replied with certainty, “I intend to perform Hajj, and In Sha Allah, I will go.”
The plane started moving again, and after a while, a report came in that it had another malfunction, so it returned for the second time. At that moment, the pilot realized what had happened and said, “I will not fly without Amer.” They took a photo of him as a souvenir, and they arrived safely.”
