AMAZING experience, my brother, count yourself lucky to have been in Al Shifa hospital. What amazes me most is the fact that despite the gravity of your sickness, you were able to note the details of staff and what went around you. Even in sickness, you were still with that razor-sharp brain. Kois.
Fatsuma Dada Mohammed
You are a very strong man, Mr Hassan.
Shawkey Ibrahim (Nurse at Al Shifa Hospital, Makkah)
Quite touching. This has moved me to tears. Alhamdulillah that you have survived. It is Allah’s way of doing His KUN FA YAKUN, and I believe you are back for a purpose, Baba. May Allah grant you more shifa, long life and strength as well.

Getting the chance to return from the other world’s gate is one of the rare things that usually happen to very few people, according to some scholars. Some said “it’s like being given a second chance or opportunity to live again” and change all that seemed wrong or not right. Be that as it may, this is another opportunity presented or handed to you to make amendments to what you perceived to be wrong in how you run your life in your little world.
May this rare chance of “returning from what I will call the point of no return” straighten your activities toward your creator, parents, etc, etc.
May this golden opportunity benefit you fid dunya wal alkhira.
Hamid Magaji
A good read filled with laughter….
Welcome back to the real world….
Survival is Evident….
Allah bless you for us…
You are Honourable in the sight of Allah…
Jazakhallahu Khair.

Allahu Akbar! Congratulations, Malam Hassan. Keep on doing the good work, Allah is with you.
You are a strong man who always says the truth. I have known you as my brother for a long time. If you could remember when you started “The Informant”, then your office was located at Hamdala Plaza. I was then working with Hamdala Communication Business Centre. “Allah Ya baka lafiya”. And those who assist in saving your life, both in cash and kind, may Allah reward them.
Mohammed Alkali Umar
Mashaa Allah! Alhamdulillah!
This is indeed a story worth telling the world, as the lessons embedded in it cannot be overemphasised.
Incidentally, and to buttress more facts, the comments made by the Pakistani doctor, Dr Imdad, saying “Allah brought you back because of the good things you are doing to your people, we see all the things”, further attest to the fact that your story is indeed one-of-a-kind, and therefore needs to be heard and re-echoed to the whole world.
This is simply because people who stood for Truth, Justice, Equity and Fairness in their entire life don’t depart this world just like that. Their life to the people is as important as their life itself.
I pray for Almighty Allah to continue to grant you good health, strong Iman (faith) and the strength to finish all your assignments before departing this world. Amin.
Best regards, sir!
Mohammed (Auwal) Gambo Yaro
Alhamdulillah. We were so concerned over here. Allah ya kara lafiya malam

This is very touching and reminds us again of the importance of being a good person at all times, for goodness will always come back to those who practice it. May Allah SWT continue to bless you with complete shifa.

“Welcome back OGA, good health and long life always 🙏”
Mohammed Ibrahim Jaji
Welcome back, and congratulations on picking up a new life despite the acute challenges.
Hassan Usman
Allah ya ƙara lafiya Sir.
This is a very powerful reminder of our frailty and mortality. Allah, in His infinite mercy, gives us many tests to strengthen our iman, and yours is certainly among the most difficult — to go to the very brink and return. Our prayers are with you for long life, good health, and the continuation of your great works. Allah kuma Ya karɓi ibadunmu da addu’o’inmu, Ameen.
Welcome back, Sir.
HF Dauda MoiSoro
A touching tale of a good person surrounded by love, affection, and help in his hour of great need.
Congratulations. Now, as you yourself surmised, it would be good to use this second chance to re-examine yourself and redouble your effort to serve Almighty Allah (SWT) and his creatures as you have been doing.
I also congratulate you on your experience of the other world. Now you know for sure what a part of the other world looks like. I wish you good health and a long life.
Ezekiel Oloriegbe
Allah is greatest and the greatest indeed! All one needs to earn His favour(s) is absolute loyalty and faith. Thanks to Him, you have those and more, the spirit to fight, fight and fight. I pray for your complete healing and longevity to continue your good works, Amin Ya Rabbi.
Aliyu Yahya
May God Almighty perfect His healing in your life permanently. Wishing you long life, sir. You’re indeed a man. A hearty congratulations to you, sir!
Patience Caxton
I have gone through the two parts of your write-up
The journey was a tough one to go through
Thankfully, it happened in Saudi Arabia, where their health care is advanced.
Thank God for your inner strength that saved you from the brink each time the doctors gave up.
Thank God for your family, friends, associates, and government officials who showed you so much love. You are indeed, Gimba the fighter.
Misan Udogie
Allahu Akbar! I just read the two editions about your travails in the hospital. It was quite sorrowful going through the narrative.
Alhamdulillah that you have recovered. May it be the source of expiation and forgiveness from the Almighty Allah. May He continue to bless you with good health and strengthen your imani.
Lawan Yakubu
Kai! I enjoyed this edition. You are a good narrator. Apart from the medical aspects, which are scary, I loved the Adamu Waziri, Mai Mala aspects, and then your classmates. Good people.
Continue to thank Allah for His favours.
Yes, Kois, I remember this word when I was doing my PhD in Sudan. They used it a lot.
My brother, congratulations, yours was a rare but blessed experience. Kois.
Fatsuma Dada Mohammed

Alhamdulillah! For the gift of life, health and everything. May Allah grant you more strength, wisdom and health to continue with the good work you are doing for humanity. As Dr Imdad always say to you in the hospital, “Allah brought you back because of the good things you are doing to your people.”
Allah Ya sa jinyar da kayi ya zama kaffara gare ka.
Bashir Musa
Allah is the ultimate disposer of affairs. May Allah continue to bless our lives, our families, and those who have been supporting us during the testing period like this.
The medical team has really displayed professionalism and humanity. May Allah reward them. This is a real fight, and you fought to victory, with divine intervention from Allah Subhanahu Wata’alah. May Allah continue to increase us in good health.
Mohammed Musa
Very powerful discussion of an experience in a hospital. It included everything the patient feels, or might feel, in the hospital. Thanks for sharing.
Ezekiel Oloriegbe
I was deeply saddened to hear about the health challenges you are currently facing. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult period. May Allah (SWT), the Lord of all healing, grant you complete shifa’, ease your pain, strengthen your heart, and replace every moment of hardship with comfort and peace. Ameen.
Remember that every trial a believer goes through carries wisdom, mercy, and immense reward from Allah. The Prophet ﷺ taught us that no illness, pain, or suffering afflicts a believer except that Allah expiates sins through it and elevates their rank. May this challenge become a means of purification, forgiveness, and increased blessings for you.
Please remain hopeful in the mercy of Allah and continue to hold firmly to patience and du’a. In sha Allah, brighter and healthier days lie ahead. May Allah surround you with His mercy, grant success to your treatment, and bless you with a quick and complete recovery. Ameen Ya Rabbal Alameen.
Mohammed Bala Talba
Malam, you are really blessed with kind-hearted people around you who occupy the position of affluence. May Allah reward them abundantly for the rare show of solidarity and concern.
