Aarifa Randhawa: Breathing proof that miracles happen
Child prodigy shows signs of life.
Aarifa Karim Randhawa.
FAISALABAD: Child prodigy Aarifa Karim Randhawa continued to startle the world on Friday, when she showed signs of life a day after doctors at Lahore’s CMH hospital gave up all hope for her survival after she suffered a cardiac arrest on December 22.
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.

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.
