Maulana Tariq Jamil, a renowned religious scholar, fulfilled the wish of a 17-yer-old boy who is a cancer patient Tuesday, reported 24News HD TV channel.

Make a wish, a foundation aiming to fulfil the wishes of critically sick patients, helped a patient’s wish to meet Maulana Tariq Jamil.

The boy, Shahzaib Anwar, also recited a melodious“Naat –e –Rasool” on the occasion. Shahzaib Anwar seemed utterly thrilled at the moment when he met with Mulana.

Shahzaib Anwar, who is suffering from haemophilia, set his heart on to meet his favourite personality. Make-A-Wish fulfilled the wish of the ailing child, as he met and spent time with Maulana Tariq Jameel, who inquired about his health and prayed for his quick recovery. Shahzaib thanked him and Make-A-Wish Pakistan for making his dream come true.

Mulana Tariq also presented a beautiful gift to his fan.

Mirza Ishtiaq Baig, president of Make a Wish Foundation shared his happiness and satisfaction over this alluring meet.

Make-A-Wish traces its inspiration to Christopher James Greicius, an energetic 7-year-old boy battling leukaemia who wished to be a police officer. In 1980, his Phoenix community came together to make his wish come true. Little did Chris know that his wish would create a movement that would transform millions of lives.

Today, the Make-A-Wish has been granting life-changing wishes for children and families for 40 years. After the start of Make-A-Wish in 1980 in the United States, Make-A-Wish International was officially formed in 1993 to serve five countries outside the U.S. – and now helps to serve children outside the United States in nearly 50 countries on 5 continents through its 39 Affiliates.
