A day after her doctors suggested switching off her life support saying there was ‘no hope’; Aarifa started showing some brain activity and twitched her fingers, her father Lt Col (Retd) Amjad Karim Randhawa told The Express Tribune. The youngest-ever Microsoft certified professional, however, is still in critical condition.
The family has been receiving calls from across the world for Aarifa’s health and prayers for her recovery, her father said. After the latest development in her condition, doctors and experts at the hospital shifted their strategy on trying to save Aarifa.

Loss of Afra Karim is big :'( but dont be upset instead be happy for her as Allah himself has said that ''HE GIVES NO SOUL BURDEN MORE THAN TO THAT WHICH THAT PERSON COULD TAKE''.

Miracles do happen. A few months back a 80 yrs old Muslim from UP state who was declared dead in hospital during his cremation suddenly came back to life. He appeared on TV channels and explained that he after being dead passed through a long dark tunnel was taken to a person who declared that they had brought the wrong person and he should be taken back immediately. This man survived and was shown sitting in his village house along with family including his grand children. So they make mistakes in heavens also. Pray that Aarifa also survives and live a long life.
Inshallah she will be fine and recover very soon. Whole the nation is praying for her and miracle "SHALL" happen. She is "PROUD" of Pakistan.
Live long dear kid!
May Allah bless you with good health soon. Live Long dear kid!

i read this massage from the wall of Arifa's FB write by Mohsin Ali
AOA, If some body can deliver my massege to Arfa´s family that if they can manage to put the headphone around Arfa´s ears with recite of Sura-e-rehman of Qari Basit. I have heared of some miracles in such medical conditions where doctors had given up their hope. Please forward this massege to her family if possible. Praying for her health....
You are a fighter Aarifa. Keep fighting. May God support you throughout.
People everywhere are praying for and sending good wishes for the recovery of this remarkable young lady and a healthy return to her family in the new year.
How's she doing? I can't find any updates on her healths status. I hope she gets through this.
Let's pray for a miracle.
Prayers will not do anything, Bin Laden also prayed 5 times a day. She requires best medical attention and her will power. Let the government put all the resources available with it including tele-medicine.
