The Mother Who Saw the Future

Amira Al Zahra, Samer’s mother, had always been more than just a homemaker. Locals in her UAE hometown whispered that she had the gift of foresight. She could predict the weather, sense people’s moods, and once even foresaw a village fire before it happened.

When Samer was born, Amira told Edward, “He will travel far, and the world will watch him make the invisible real.” Her intuition guided Samer’s childhood—she often woke him before storms, saying, “Practice when the wind is wild, that’s when magic listens.”

Years later, during a major performance in New York, Samer experienced a severe technical glitch just minutes before going on stage. Nervous, he found a message on his phone—a simple voice note from his mother saying, “Trust your hands.” The show became one of his most successful, and to this day, he believes his mother somehow knew.

Amira still watches every one of his performances online from her UAE home, keeping her promise to be his invisible audience forever.
