What began as a routine pilgrimage to Mecca turned into a remarkable tale of faith, determination, and destiny for one young Libyan man who simply refused to be left behind.
Amer Al Mahdi Mansour Al Gaddafi had long dreamed of performing Hajj — a sacred journey that millions of Muslims hope to undertake at least once in their lives. This year, he was finally ready to fulfill that dream.
However, at the airport, Amer faced an unexpected setback.
(عامر المهدي منصور القذافي) شاب ليبي قرر حج بيت الله وعند وصوله المطار واجه مشكلة أمنية في جواز السفر (بسبب اسم العائلة) فتأخر وأصر الكابتن على الإقلاع بدونه قائلاً بأنه لا يمكن الانتظار حتى يتم حل مشكلة الجواز… أمّا عامر فأصر بأنه لن يبرح المطار حتى يذهب للحج.

While his fellow pilgrims cleared immigration and boarded the plane, Amer remained at the counter, pleading his case. Despite his best efforts, the flight crew made the difficult decision to depart without him, citing ongoing security concerns and strict schedules. But Amer wouldn’t give up. “I will not leave here unless it’s toward Hajj,” he declared, resolute in his faith.
Then, something extraordinary happened…
“إن من عبادِ اللهِ من لو أقسم على الله لأبره”
رُفض سفر الحاج الليبي عامر القذافي مرتين بسبب مشكلة بجوازه
فأصرّ أن لا يغادر المطار لأنه نوى الحج
أقلعت الطائرة ثم عادت بسبب عطل
ثم أقلعت ثانية فعادت مجددًا
الطيار قال: لن أقلع حتى يركب عامر

After a brief repair, it took off again — only to suffer a second unexpected issue, grounding the aircraft once more.
This time, the atmosphere had changed. According to passengers and crew, the pilot stood before them and declared:
“I swear I won’t fly again unless Amer is on this plane.”
His story spread rapidly across social media, hailed as a powerful sign of divine intervention and answered prayers.
“I only wanted to go to Hajj,” Amer said in a local interview. “And I believed that if it was written for me, no force could stop it.”
