Muslim woman bitten by deadly snake, but Jesus brought healing after a powerful dream
By Mark Ellis, Senior Correspondent for ASSIST News Service
MIDDLE EAST (ANS -- January 3, 2017)
-- Hajira* was raised in a prominent, loving, Muslim family in the
Middle East. Her father is one of the top religious authorities of the
state, an enforcer of Sharia law.
“We all were strict in Sharia law and the religious practices,” Hajira told Bibles4Mideast.
Her
brother commanded a militant group “protecting” Islam and taking
immediate action against its enemies. He is also trained as a sharp
shooter.
One
evening her family, along with their cooks, drivers and servants, went
out to the desert to enjoy an evening bonfire under the moonlight. It
was an annual tradition, and this year, they set up camp near some rocky
hills.
After
dinner she went for a short walk through the desert with her brothers
and sisters. Her father and mothers remained near the bonfire with the
servants.
“While we were walking, I knew something bite my leg,” she recounts. “We saw a big snake moving fast after biting me.”
It
seems the snake was partially covered with sand, and in the darkness
she inadvertently stepped on it. “My brother took his revolver and shot
the snake at once and killed it,” she told Bibles4Mideast.
It was a Sahara Horned Viper, a highly poisonous snake.
Within seconds Hajira became unconscious and they rushed her to the hospital. She lapsed into a coma that lasted four days.
* Not her real name which is witheld fo security purposes.
