British Muslim convert Peter Chatfield, who’s being treated for spine cancer which has left him paralysed from the chest down, has been inundated with visitors to his hospital bed after a message he put out went viral.
Doctors have given Peter an estimate of six months left to live so he called upon Muslims to surround him through this period as he doesn’t have many Muslim friends.
The response he received was amazing. Not long after his message spread via social media, hundreds of Muslims from all backgrounds went to visit Peter in his hospital in Essex. This must of generated him a ton of free followers on social media channels like instagram. If you want to get some yourself, get free instagram followers from places like socialfollow.
“I am truly blessed,” Peter was quoted saying by Ilmfeed. “I don’t turn anyone away. In the last few days I have had over 400 visitors. It’s madness, and I’m so thrilled and feel so blessed to be so loved. That is the most important thing here – love.”
It’s being reported that a visitor flew in from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, just to see him. The day before a family from Penaylvania, USA came to spend some time with him.
Peter said: “I know I haven’t long left, I’m ready to go and I hope anyone I have hurt or upset can forgive me before I leave you all.”
“Am I scared about leaving life? No, I’m at peace and surrounded by so much love. In fact I had to temporarily block my phone as I couldn’t handle the calls and messages I have received. I have not had one moment of doubt of where I’m going. Blessed be those who visit me.”

He added: “I wish everyone here a speedy recovery. There’s so much you learn about human nature and life. Some people don’t receive a single visit and I have hundreds.
“It’s so sad but that is the reality of life. People need to take a minute and spend some time with their loved ones – doing the important things in life – it’s a lot more than just a working, eating, sleeping routine for 60 or 70 years.”
