The parents of young Muslim woman are asking the community to keep their daughter (23) in prayer after she slipped five metres down Lions Head mountain on Saturday. Zaakiyah Parker, a nutrition and science student at UNISA, was enjoying her weekly hiking activities with her three cousins when the incident occurred. According to Kerry Davids, the spokesperson for the Western Cape Emergency Services, the young girl was air-lifted to Christian Barnard Hospital, minutes after falling.
“We received a call from the Mountain Rescue Services on Saturday morning, regarding the young lady. I believe that she sustained pelvic injuries and will be kept at the city hospital for the rest of the week,” said Davids. “However, rescue members said the young female was doing quite fine, after checking up on her later that day.”
The teary-eyed mother of the young girl said she was horrified when she received the news of her daughter. “This has come as a huge shock to me and my family, but alhamdulillah, I thank the Almighty for it could have been worse than what it is already,” she said. Whilst her health is progressing and she is talking, doctors want to keep her for a few more days until they are fully satisfied with her condition.
“With Allah’s mercy I am happy to say that she is one lucky girl. It is a miracle that she survived the fall, as in many cases children die from these kinds of accidents,” said the relieved mother. “I am still very emotional about the whole incident and worried about medical expenses as well. Doctors said that they don’t want speak about medical aid or any expenses until she is fully recovered. I ask that the community make du’ah for my beautiful daughter and that she recover soon, inshallah ameen.” VOC (Aishah Cassiem)
