Who is Gulshan Esther?

Many of us Christians should have experiences of Jesus's healing at certain points of our life. At least I do. As I googled on this (being curious) of other Christians' testimony about His healing, I found this very inspiring story of Gulshan Esther.

Esther was born in 1952 to a wealthy and prominent family of Jhang in the Punjab, Pakistan. At the age of six months she became ill with Typhoid Fever and was thereafter paralyzed on her left side. At the age of 14, in the search for a cure for her paralysis, her father brought her to England to see a specialist, who declared her beyond healing and recommended prayer. From England Esther proceeded directly on a pilgrimage to Mecca with her father and two maids. Despite many prayers and great faith, on this Hajj Esther was disappointed not to have been healed, but her faith in Allah never wavered.
