În decembrie 2004, un arab saudit, musulman, s-a înfăţişat la mai multe agenţii de presă pentru a relata următoarea întâmplare de necrezut, care I s-a petrecut şi care i-a schimbat viaţa. Povestea aceasta a apărut la televiziune, la radio, pe internet, a circulat în ziare, reviste şi broşuri în întreaga Arabie Saudită, în Siria, Palestina şi în ţările vecine.

Acum câţiva ani, acel bărbat s-a căsătorit cu o musulmancă foarte bogată, însă stearpă. Anii au trecut, şi în pofida tuturor străduinţelor şi a cheltuielilor medicale însemnate, făcute la mulţi doctori, au rămas fără copii. Părinţii lui i-au propus să se căsătorească cu o altă femeie, păstrându-o şi pe întâia sa soţie (legea locală îngăduie până la patru căsătorii concomitente).Obosit, neliniştit şi deznădăjduit, bărbatul nu a primit sfatul părinţilor săi, ci a ales să plece în vacanţă cu soţia sa în Siria. Ajunşi acolo, au închiriat o limuzină şi un şofer care să îi poarte ca ghid în călătoriile lor prin Siria. De-a lungul vacanţei, şoferul a observat că perechea saudită părea amărâtă, îndurerată, mâhnită. Deoarece devenise apropiat de pereche, şoferul i-a întrebat îngrijorat de ce sunt nefericiţi – poate pentru că nu sunt mulţumiţi de felul în care conduce excursia?

Perechea i-a mărturisit şoferului că pricina nefericirii lor este neputinţa de a avea copii. Şoferul, care era şi el musulman, le-a spus atunci că, în Siria, creştinii – şi anume creştinii ortodocşi – au o mănăstire numită Panaghia Saidnaya (nume compus dintr-un cuvânt grecesc care înseamnă Preasfânta şi un cuvânt arab care înseamnă Doamna noastră) şi că mulţi oameni care nu pot avea prunci se îndreaptă către icoana ei făcătoare de minuni. Ei merg la mănăstire şi li se dă să mănânce din fitilul candelei care arde înaintea icoanei celei minunate. Iar apoi „Maria” creştinilor le dă cele ce doresc, după credinţa lor.

Însufleţiţi de emoţie, arabul saudit şi soţia sa i-au cerut şoferului să îi ducă la mănăstirea „Saidnaya” a „Doamnei Creştinilor”, spunând: „Dacă vom avea un copil, mă voi întoarce şi îţi voi da 20.000 de dolari SUA, iar mănăstirii 80.000 de dolari SUA”. Astfel, s-au dus la mănăstire şi au făcut precum li s-a zis. Mai apoi, s-au întors la ei acasă şi după ceva vreme, femeia a fost găsită însărcinată. După câteva luni, a născut un băieţel minunat. A fost cu adevărat o minune a Doamnei noastre, de Dumnezeu Născătoarea.

Acum, de îndată ce soţia sa a născut, bărbatul saudit a vrut să se întoarcă în Siria, ca să-şi ţină făgăduinţele pe care le făcuse. La întoarcere, l-a sunat pe acelaşi şofer şi i-a cerut să îl ia de la aeroportul din Damasc. Însă şoferul era un om viclean şi rău, şi i-a convins pe doi prieteni ai săi să meargă împreună cu el la aeroport ca să îl ia pe bogatul arab saudit, să îi ia banii şi să îl omoare. Aşadar, l-au luat pe bogătaş de la aeroport, iar el, în timp ce conduceau, fără să îşi dea seama că plănuiseră să îl omoare, le-a spus prietenilor şoferului că le va da fiecăruia dintre ei 10.000 de dolari SUA.

Fiind ei tot nemulţumiţi, s-au abătut de la drumul către mănăstire şi au mers într-un loc pustiu, unde l-au omorât pe bărbatul saudit, apoi i-au tăiat capul şi celelalte părţi ale trupului său (mâinile şi picioarele) în bucăţi. Orbiţi de patimă şi copleşiţi de fapta groaznică pe care tocmai o săvârşiseră, au pus rămăşiţele bărbatului în portbagajul maşinii, în loc să le părăsească acolo. După ce i-au luat banii, ceasul şi tot ce mai avea, au purces să caute un alt loc pustiu pentru a scăpa de rămăşiţe.

Apoi, pe când se aflau pe autostrada naţională, maşina a făcut o pană şi s-a oprit în mijlocul drumului. Cei trei s-au dat jos ca să vadă ce se întâmplase cu motorul. Un trecător s-a oprit să îi ajute, însă ei, temându-se ca nu cumva să se descopere fapta lor cea groaznică, au spus că nu au nevoie de ajutor. Însă în timp ce pleca, motociclistul în trecere a observat sânge picurând din spatele vehicolului, şi a chemat poliţia pentru investigaţii, căci întreaga scenă şi cei trei oameni dădeau de bănuit. Poliţiştii a sosit şi, văzând sângele de sub maşină şi de pe asfalt, au ordonat deschiderea portbagajului.

Ei bine, atunci când au deschis portbagajul, dintr-odată!, bărbatul saudit s-a sculat, în chip vădit şi minunat în viaţă şi teafăr, zicându-le: „Chiar acum această Panaghia a isprăvit să-mi coasă gâtul, chiar aici (şi le-a arătat zona mărului lui Adam), după ce mi-a cusut restul trupului”. Văzând aceasta, cei trei ucigaşi şi-au pierdut de îndată minţile – au înnebunit. Poliţia le-a pus cătuşele şi în timp ce erau purtaţi către un spital de nebuni, criminalii strigau că este cu neputinţă ca bărbatul saudit pe care îl omorâseră, decapitaseră şi măcelăriseră să mai fie în viaţă.

Sauditul a mers la un spital pentru a fi examinat de către doctori, iar aceştia au confirmat şi au întărit faptul că cusăturile erau făcute de puţină vreme, validând astfel această întâmplare minunată. Cusăturile erau, şi sunt încă, evidente. Atunci când sauditul a ieşit din portbagajul maşinii, părea a fi, literalmente, făcut din nou (pus laolaltă), mărturisind într-una că Panaghia a pus la loc trupul său şi l-a înviat cu ajutorul Fiului ei.

Imediat după aceasta, arabul saudit şi-a chemat rudele în Siria, şi au mers toţi împreună la mănăstirea Panaghiei Saidnaya, dând laudă, slavă şi rugăciuni, iar în locul darului iniţial de 80.000 dolari SUA (pe care îl făgăduise), a dat 800.000 de dolari SUA pentru Născătoarea de Dumnezeu.

Astăzi, atunci când bărbatul acesta istoriseşte amănuntele acestei minuni copleşitoare, îşi începe povestirea cu cuvintele: „Pe când eram musulman, mi s-au petrecut cele ce urmează…” – ceea ce arată că nu mai este musulman, nici el, nici familia sa.

Această minune a covârşit cu înfricoşată surprindere toată lumea arabă – musulmană şi întreg Orientul Mijlociu.

English Version

In December 2004 a Saudi Arabian man, a Moslem, appeared before several new agencies to relate the following incredible event he experienced and which changed his life (this story appeared on TV, the Internet, radio, and was circulated in newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets throughout Saudi Arbia, Syria, Palestine, and evidently in all neighboring countries. Some years ago, this man married a very rich Moslem woman but sterile. As the years passed, and despite all their efforts and significant medical expenses with many doctors, they remained childless. The man's parents suggested to him that he marry a second woman, while upholding his initial marriage (as the local laws permits up to four concurrent marriages). Being exhausted, worried, and downhearted, he did not accept his parents' advice but rather chose to vacation with his wife in Syria. There, they hired a limousine with a driver who would serve as tour guide fro all their site-seeing excursions throughout Syria. As the vacation progressed, the driver noticed that the Saudi Arabian couple was experiencing bitterness, pain, and grief. Having gained familiarity with the couple, the driver cautiously asked them whey they appeared to be so unhappy-was it perhaps because he was not conducting the tour to their satisfaction? The couple confided to the driver that the source of their unhappiness was their inability to have children. The driver who was also a Moslem, then told them that in Syria the Christians, specifically the Orthodox Christians, have a monastery named Panagia Saidraya (Arabic word meaning Our Lady) and that many people who can't have children take refuge to Her miracle-producing icon. They go to the monastery and there they are given to eat, the wick form the lamp which burns before the miraculous icon. And then the "Mary" of the Christians gives them according to their faith, what they wish for. Becoming excited, the Saudi Arabian and his wife asked the driver to take them to the monastery "Saidnaya" of "The Lady of the Christians" and said that if we have a child, then I will come back and I will give you $20,000.00 US and, I will give the monastery $80,000 US. So they went to the monastery and did as they were instructed. Later they returned to their homeland and after some time the wife was found pregnant. In a few months she gave birth to a charming baby boy. It was truly a miracle of Our Lady Theotokos. Now, as soon as his wife gave birth the Saudi Arabian man wanted to return to Syria to uphold the promises he had made. Upon his return he called the same driver and asked to be picked up at the Damascus airport. But the driver was cunning and wicked and he persuaded two of his friends to go to the airport with him to pick up the rich Saudi Arabian man and to take his money and kill him. So they picked up the rich man at the airport and he, as they drove, without realizing that they had planned to kill him, told the friends of the driver that he would give them also $10,000 US each. These men still not satisfied, deviated from the route to the monastery and went to a deserted place and proceeded to slay the Saudi Arabian man and to cut off his head and other parts (hands and legs) of his body into pieces. Blinded by passion and overcome by

the horrific act that they just committed, they put the man's remains in the trunk of the car rather than just leaving him there. After taking his money, watch, and all that he had, they proceeded to find another deserted place to discard the remains. Then on the National highway, their car broke down and stopped in the middle of that road. The three men got out to determine why the engine had stalled. Then a passerby stopped to help them but they, afraid that their terrible act would be discovered, pretended that they did not need any help. But as the passerby motorist was leaving, he noticed blood dripping from the rear of the vehicle and he called the police to investigate because the scene and the three men looked suspicious. The police came and they saw the blood under the car and on the pavement so they ordered that the trunk be opened. Well, when the opened the trunk, lo and behold, the Saudi Arabian man lifted himself out, obviously and amazingly alive and in good health, saying to them "Just now this PANAGIA finished stitching my neck, right here (showing them the area of his Adam's Apple), after first stitching up the rest of my entire body". Seeing this, the three criminals immediately lost their minds-becoming like mad. The police handcuffed them and as they were being taken away to an asylum for the insane, the criminals started raving that it could not be possible that the Saudi Arabian man whom they killed, beheaded, and dissected could yet be alive. The Saudi Arabian went to a medical facility to undergo examination by doctors and medical examiners who confirmed and attested that the stitching was done very recently, thereby validating the miraculous event. The stitches were, and still are, obvious. When the Saudi Arabian came out of the car's trunk, he had the appearance, literally, of just having been refabricated (put back together) to which he continuously confessed that they PANAGIA had rejoined his body and resurrected him with the help of her Son. Immediately after this, the Saudi Arabian called his relatives to come to Syria and they all went together to the monastery of Panagia Saidnaya and offered up prayers, praises, and glorification, and instead of the initial gift of $80,000 US (which was promised), he gave $800,000 US to the Theotokos. Today, as this man relates the details of that overwhelming miracle, he starts his narration with "When I was a Moslem this happened to me" this indicating he is not longer a Moslem, as neither is his family. This miracle stunned with awesome surprise the entire Arabic/Moslem nation and all of the Middle East.

ΜΕΓΑ ΘΑΥΜΑ ΣΤΗ ΣΥΡΙΑ

Τον Δεκέμβριο του 2004 βγήκε από τα μέσα ενημέρωσης ένας μουσουλμάνος σαουδάραβας και διηγήθη ζωντανό συγκλονιστικό γεγονός που έζησε και που άλλαξε όλη του τη ζωή.

(Το διηγήθηκε από την τηλεόραση το ραδιόφωνο και δημοδιεύτηκε σε εφημερίδες και περιοδικά σε όλη τη Σαουδική Αραβία, Παλαιστίνη και προφανώς σε όλες τις γειτονικές χώρες.Υπάρχει και στα Αραμαϊκά σε ιστοσελίδα αλλά δεν γνωρίζω σε ποιο δίκτυο.)

Παντρεύτηκε πριν από χρόνια μια κοπέλα, πλούσια μουσουλμάνα αλλά στείρα. Οπότε πέρασαν τα χρόνια και δεν μπορούσαν να αποκτήσουν παιδιά, παρόλο που είχαν πολλά χρήματα και πήγαν σε πολλούς γιατρούς. Οι γονείς του του έλεγαν να παντρευτεί και δεύτερη γυναίκα και να κρατήσει και την πρώτη αφού ο νόμος τους, επιτρέπει να έχουν μέχρι και τέσσερις γυναίκες. Εκείνος κουρασμένος και αρκετά στεναχωρημένος πήρε τη σύζυγο του να πάνε ταξίδι αναψυχής στη γειτονική μας από το Ισραήλ Συρία για να ξεκουραστούν και να ξεχάσουν λίγο. Στη Συρία ενοικίασε λιμουζίνα με οδηγό-ξεναγό να τους πάει σε όλα τα κοσμικά αξιοθέατα της Συρίας. Ο οδηγός πρόσεξε στο ζευγάρι που ξεναγούσε μια πικρία πόνο και θλίψη στα πρόσωπα τους. Αφού λοιπόν ξεκουράστηκαν καλά, πήρε το θάρρος και τους ρώτησε γιατί δεν φαινόντουσαν ευχαριστημένοι, μήπως άραγε έφταιγε ο ίδιος και δεν τους άρεσε κάτι στην ξενάγηση και την περιήγηση, που τους έκανε. Εκείνοι του ανοίχθηκαν και του εξήγησαν το πρόβλημα της ατεκνίας τους.

Ο μουσουλμάνος λοιπόν οδηγός τους είπε ότι εδώ στη Συρία οι Χριστιανοί και μάλιστα οι Ορθόδοξοι έχουν το μοναστήρι της Παναγίας της Σεϊδανάγιας (-Σεϊντανάγια- αραβικά σημαίνει Δέσποινα Κυρία) και πολλοί άτεκνοι καταφεύγουν στη Θαυματουργική της εικόνα. Εκεί λοιπόν τους δίνουν από το φυτίλι του καντηλιού της θαυματουργής αυτής εικόνας και το τρώνε το καταπίνουν και τότε η “Μαρία” των Χριστιανών τους δίνει κατά την προαίρεση τους και την πίστη σους. Ενθουσιασμένος λοιπόν ο Σαουδάραβας και η γυναίκα του λένε στο ξαναγό πήγαινε μας εκεί στη Σεϊδανάγια «τη Δέσποινα των Χριστιανών» κι αν γίνει το ποθούμενο και εάν αποκτήσουμε παιδί θα σου προσφέρω 20.000$ σε σένα και 80.000$ στο μοναστήρι.

Πήγαν στη μονή έκαναν ότι έπρεπε και γυρίζοντας πίσω η γυναίκα βρέθηκε έγκυος.

Σε μερικούς μήνες γέννησε ένα χαριτωμένο αγοράκι υγιέστατο και πανέμορφο, θαύμα της Παναγίας μας.

Μόλις γέννησε η σύζυγός του, ο Σαουδάραβας ήθελε να εκπληρώσει, να πραγματοποιήσει το τάξιμο που είχε κάνει. Τηλεφώνησε λοιπόν στον οδηγό εκείνο να το παραλάβει από το αεροδρόμιο της Δαμασκού. Ο οδηγός όμως πανούργος και κακός ειδοποίησε άλλου δυο φίλους του για να πάνε μαζί στο αεροδρόμιο να παραλάβουν τον πλούσιο και κατόπιν δολίως να το σκοτώσουν και να λάβουν όσα χρήματα θα είχε μαζί του, δική τους μοιρασιά.

Πράγματι έτσι κι έγινε. Τον παρέλαβαν από το αεροδρόμιο. Καθ’ οδόν χωρίς ο άμοιρος να γνωρίζει τι θα συνέβαινε, τους είπε ότι από τη χαρά του θα έδινε και στους φίλους του οδηγού από 10.000$.Αυτοί αντί να τον πάνε στο μοναστήρι, τον οδήγησαν σε έρημο μέρος, τον έσφαξαν κόβοντας του πρώτα το κεφάλι καθώς και τα υπόλοιπα μέρη του σώματός του χέρια και πόδια σε κομμάτια. Τους τύφλωσε όμως το πάθος από αυτήν την εγκληματική τους ενέργεια και αντί να τον πετάξουν εκεί τον έβαλαν στο μπορτ μπαγκάζ του αυτοκινήτου, αφού πήρανε μαζί τους χρήματα ρολόϊ και ότι είχε και ξεκίνησαν να πάνε σε άλλο ερημικό μέρος για να τον πετάξουν. Στον εθνικό δρόμο τους χάλασε το αμάξι και στάθηκαν στη μέση του δρόμου. Για να δουν τι συνέβαινε και γιατί σταμάτησε η μηχανή και τους άφησε. Ένας περαστικός τους είδε και από μόνος του σταμάτησε με το αυτοκίνητο του να τους βοηθήσει. Εκείνοι όμως φοβούμενοι μήπως γίνουν αντιληπτοί για το φοβερό έγκλημα που είχαν διαπράξει προσποιήθηκαν ότι δεν θέλουν βοήθεια.

Ο περαστικός οδηγός όμως φεύγοντας παρατήρησε να στάζει αίμα κάτω από το μπορτ μπαγκάζ και πιο κάτω ειδοποίησε την αστυνομία να πάνε να εξιχνιάσουν τι συνέβαινε, διότι αυτοί οι τρεις, του φάνηκαν ύποπτοι. Έφθασε η αστυνομία, είδαν οι αστυνομικοί το αίμα στο οδόστρωμα και δίνουν διαταγή να ανοίξουν το μπορτ μπαγκάζ. Μόλις άνοιξαν σηκώνεται και βγαίνει έξω ο Σαουδάραβας υγιείς ολοζώντανος με αίματα βέβαια αλλά ραμμένος.

Μόλις τώρα τους λέει “… η Παναγία τελείωσε και τις τελευταίες ραφές του λαιμού μου εδώ μπροστά δείχνοντας το καρύδι του λαιμού του αφού μου έραψε όλο μου το σώμα πρώτα”.

Ο κακοποιός εγκληματίας ταξιτζής και οι συνεργοί του, έχασαν τα λογικά τους, τρελάθηκαν και με χειροπέδες τους οδήγησαν στις ψυχιατρικές φυλακές. Φώναζαν σαν δαιμονισμένοι “…εμείς σε σκοτώσαμε εμείς σε κομματιάσαμε σου κόψαμε το κεφάλι πως ζεις;”

Ο Σαουδάραβας πήγε για πιστοποίηση του λαμπρού θαύματος. Τον είδαν ιατροδικαστές, εμπειρογνώμονες, αστυνομικοί και πιστοποίησαν με υπογραφές το θαύμα.

Τα ράμματα ήσαν και είναι φανερά. Φαινόταν φρεσκοσυναρμολογημένος. Διεκύρυττε δε και ομολογούσε ότι “ η Παναγία με έραψε και με ανάστησε δυνάμη του υιού της.”

Κατόπιν ο ιαθείς και αναστηθείς κάλεσε τηλεφωνικώς όλους τους δικούς του και ήλθαν στη Συρία.

Πήγαν στο μοναστήρι ευχαρίστησαν την Παναγία Σαϊδανάγια και πρόσφεραν δεήσεις και δοξολογίες και αντί του ποσού των 80.000$ που ήταν το τάξιμο του στην Παναγία Σαϊδανάγια, προσφέρει στη μονή το ποσό των 800.000$ για τη μεγάλη ευεργεσία που του προσέφερε η Παναγία μας.

Ο ίδιος σήμερα αφηγείται συνεχώς το συγκλονιστικό αυτό θαύμα και αρχίζει πάντοτε λέγοντας:

“όταν ήμουν μουσουλμάνος μου συνέβη αυτό κι αυτό δηλώνοντας ότι δεν είναι πλέον μουσουλμάνος, ούτε αυτός ούτε η οικογένεια του…”

Το θαύμα αυτό τάραξε τις αραβικές μουσουλμανικές χώρες και όλη τη Μέση Ανατολή, δημιούργησε σάλο και φοβερή έκπληξη.

“ Ζει Κύριος ο Θεός ημών,

ο Θεός των Δυνάμεων”
