Amber was born in 1961. Her mother, Dr.
Jamal Yusuf, gave her under the care of her parents to remarry with late
Ahad Yusuf, former Mayor of Hyderabad and Provincial Minister of Health for
Sind. Amber’s father passed away and her maternal grand father, Syed Akhtar
Yusuf, raised her. Syed Akhtar Yusuf was a retired Army major; he worked as
General Manager for His Highness Mir of Khairpur Mirs; he also served as
General Manager, Pakistan Shipping Corporation. He retired in 1971, after
the separation of East Pakistan, and took the last outbound flight from
Dacca to unite with his family. Amber lived with her two aunts and an uncle
and four grand mothers in the same house. After Dacca’s fall, Major Yusuf
lost most of his savings and lived very modestly until he moved to USA where
also he could not rise and passed his life in seclusion and passed away in
Houston a few years ago.
Amber was brought up like a princess as she
lived with four wives of Major Yusuf who married a dozen times and had
children from each wife, surprisingly, all of whom living under the same
roof. Amber was educated in St. Joseph convent school in Karachi and went to
the same college until she was married to me. She was only 16 years old
then.
Amber gave birth to two of our children
Rakib and Sana and we all immigrated to the U.S.A. and have been in the
United States of America since 1980.
Since Amber’s childhood everybody had been
of the opinion that she had strange annotations and observations because
whatever she said, it came to happen. It is because of this foretelling of
hers that she was cursed by the people as someone who spoke the tongue of
evil. In our language it is called Kali Zaban. However, no one knew
that she did not have an evil tongue but positive gift to foresee one’s
future.
During our earlier years of marriage, we
were busy in raising kids and moving from Pakistan to the U.S.A. This kept
us too involved so I could not realize what special gifts Amber actually
possessed.
My first experience of this realization
process happened in 1988 when I asked her about two of my partners in
business: Rafique, a very energetic and hard working person, and Asim, a
laid-back, low-profile person. I liked to work with Rafique due to his
special qualities. Amber told me that Rafique would cheat on us in business
whereas she predicted of Asim to be very honest to me. At the end of the
day, Rafique embezzled about $ 30,000 from the company and Asim returned a
loan of $10,000 to the company, which I had forgotten to bring on the record
books. If he had not mentioned it at the end of the project, he could have
walked away with an extra $ 10,000.
In 1989 I visited Los Angles on a business
trip. My return flight was supposed to arrive in Houston at 10 p.m. and I
should have been at home by 11 p.m. However, my meeting ended earlier and I
took an early flight and landed in Houston at 7 p.m. I had a friend who
owned a club. He always invited me to visit him. I thought it to be a good
opportunity to call upon him that day. I spent my extra time from 7.30 p.m.
to 10.30 p.m. with him and arrived home at my scheduled time: 11 p.m. As
soon as Amber opened the door, she asked me which club I had been. Being
confused, I denied the charge and lied to her that I was coming straight
from the airport. To my amusement she said: “I saw your plane landing in
Houston at 7 p.m.” I still denied her statement and told her that she was
insane. She never argued and never repeated her comments. I just started
wondering how, in the world, she found out the truth.
Amber is a very religious-minded woman. She
prays five times as well as observes the Namaz-i-Tahajjid, a special
prayer performed just after mid night besides the five mandatory prayers
every Muslim is to perform. Due to her insight into religion, people always
approach her for spiritual guidance.
One day, we visited a Hindu priest in his
temple. When we entered his office, he asked me a strange question: “I
invited two of you; who is the third one you have brought with you.” I
freaked out, as there was no one with us. Later on a Christian clairvoyant
and psychic, S.L. Harribance President of Sean Harribance Institute for
Parapsychology, Inc, told Amber that she had extraordinary gifts and she
should meditate and develop her skills. I kept on pursuing her to work on
her skills and she started seeing clients and since then have been helping
so many people. Here are a few of her cases. The names of the clients have
been withheld.
A girl came to see her. She was not able to
conceive though had been trying to have a baby for the five years of her
marriage. Amber told her that she had been molested by someone and had gone
through a trauma. Due to this sexual contact, she actually hated to have
copulation and had no way to conceive. Initially, she denied but after a few
sittings, she revealed that the husband of her eldest sister, the bread
provider of the family, started molesting her since she was only 13 by
forcing her to have intercourse. Later on, this perverted man forced her to
bring her other two sisters for the same purpose and kept on molesting all
the three sisters. Due to this trauma, she could not have any relationship
with her husband. Amber told her that she needed to confront her perpetuator
to have peace with herself. She kept on promising Amber to counter the
person responsible for her problem but could not confront him and her
family. Unfortunately, the sinner passed away before she could reveal this
traumatic situation to anyone. Later on, she, along with her other two
sisters, confided with her eldest sister and revealed all the details of her
husband’s sinful life and came to a closure. Immediately after that, she
conceived and strangely delivered a baby boy on the same day as Amber was
born.
A Muslim married woman came to see her and
told her various problems and asked Amber for guidance. As soon as she
started her sessions, Amber told her that her basic problem is infidelity
with her husband. She denied the charge and insisted that she was very
honest with her husband. To break her consistent lying streak, Amber told
her the name of the man whom she was having sexual contact with. She was
very upset and started screaming and crying. Later on she confessed that she
was having an extra marital affair very discreetly but that no one knew
about it. She kept on questioning Amber about the source of her information.
She could not believe that Amber acquired this information from her inner
sources. She was so upset by the leak that for the next few hours, she kept
on trying to pinpoint the source of her leak rather than admitting that God
gives gift to some people who could see what a naked eye cannot. In the Holy
Quran it is very clearly stated that God knows knowledge of the unknown only
and only by those dear ones whom God decides to bless with a part of His
gifts. Fanatic people always confront Amber with a shout out that she is
doing wrong and it is against the will of God to pursue the unknown. But
they forget that she is helping the people to solve their problems. So many
people think she indulges in witchcraft and try to hurt her feelings. But
they do not know that she does help people and has no financial gains from
this practice.
In another case, one of our spiritual
friends recommended a girl for my son to get married. We visited the family
briefly and later on invited them to our house. Just after a few minutes of
their arrival, Amber asked the mother of the girl where her husband was. She
responded to her that he lived in Karachi and had not moved here as yet.
Amber immediately corrected her and said: “Yes, I know he is in Karachi but
he is in a jail (Penitentiary) and was arrested for smuggling drugs.” The
woman got so overwhelmed that she fell over Amber’s feet and kept on begging
her not to say anything to anyone. Later on she confessed that her husband
was a drug smuggler. Though very rich in his good days, was now serving
time. Superficially, the girl looked so delicate that if Amber had not had
this gift, I would have settled my son with this family without any
hesitation.
One of my biggest regrets has been to get my
son married without asking Amber while I was in Pakistan. The day Amber met
the daughter in law, she told me that she had been forced to marry our son
and that this relationship was not suitable for our family. Later on it was
found that she was in love with someone else. Her father forced her to marry
my son mainly for the money and for the reason that she could help the
family to migrate to the U.S.A. My son had to divorce her and we were saved
from a lot of future misery. However, it cost us at least $ 50,000 for the
wedding.
As far as politics is concerned,
Amber has always predicted about candidates and foreseen the results of many
elections. I always seek for her advice, as she was 100% sure about Lee
Brown and Bill White’s win as Mayor City of Houston. During the third
election of Mayor Brown, one day his opponent Orlando Sanchez met us in a
charity gala. When I told him about Amber’s vision, he asked her about his
election. Amber replied to him: “I see you winning first but losing later
on.” Orlando Sanchez and even I myself could not understand what it meant.
Amber could not explain to him what she just said. After some time, I came
to a realization as to what she meant that he would win the first election
but lose the run off election.
Similarly, Amber made predictions about
President Clinton that he would be impeached and later on exonerated from
the charges. I wrote down all the predictions she made for President Clinton
and mailed him a letter. I never received the response but on the day when
the Senate was supposed to cast a final vote, Amber and I were invited to
meet with the First Lady, Hillary Clinton at Tillman Feitita’s house. This
meeting took place around 5 p.m. and about an hour earlier, the U.S. Senate
voted in favor of President Clinton. I happened to have the letter written
to President Clinton, which I presented to the First Lady. She read the
letter very patiently and immediately asked Amber “Do you think I will win
senatorial race?” Amber replied: “You are already the Senator.” Mrs. Clinton
told her she was not the Senator as yet and was running for the seat. Amber
again uttered mysteriously: “You are the Senator.” Mrs. Clinton asked me:
“Does your wife follow politics? Doesn’t she know that Mayor Gulliani is
running against me and I am not the Senator?” Amber cut her off and said,
“But I do not see Gulliani running against you and you will be the Senator.”
Mrs. Clinton moved on to the other guests, without keeping faith in what
Amber said to her though she took the copy of her predictions. Just two
weeks later Gulliani was diagnosed with colon cancer and pulled out of the
race. By this time Mrs. Clinton understood what Amber was seeing she could
not conceive.
 During John Kerry’s presidential election
campaign, she constantly told me that George Bush was going to win which I
kept on ignoring, as I am a hardcore democrat. However, I did not invest any
resources in that election and everyone knows the result: Bush won the
election. During democrat primaries, I was one of the co-hosts for a
reception for Howard Dean. On the day of the reception, I was heading for
Hotel Wormick. I called Amber and asked her about chances for Howard Dean.
She told me that it would be a waste of time and $1000 donation and that I
should rather come home. I returned home and a few weeks later; Howard
Dean’s popularity declined and John Kerry surfaced as the candidate for
Democratic Party. So far she thinks that Hillary Clinton would be elected as
first woman President of United States of America.
Most of the Pakistani politicians who visit
us talk to her and get her analysis. Most recent ones are former Prime
Minister, Benazir Bhutto; former Chief Minister, Syed Ghous Ali Shah; former
Chief Justice Supreme Court, Justice Sajjad Ali Shah; former Minister, Pir
Mazhar Ul Haque; Senator S. M Zafar; Rasool Bux Palejo; and many others. The
best part about Amber is that she never reveals her intimate talks with her
clients and works very discreetly and does not charge for her services.
One of her astonishing cases was
when a couple visited us with their child. The woman was very talkative and
kept on daring Amber for her supernatural capabilities. Suddenly, Amber
asked the man a very strange question: “Who is this child in your lap?” The
man replied: “She is my daughter.” Amber said, “I know she is her daughter,”
pointing to the lady, “but not yours.” The man was very upset but the woman
was very clever and kept on giggling and changed the subject. Next day the
man came to my office and spoke to me about the comments my wife had made.
He wanted to know more about it. I had so much faith in Amber that I was
ready to pay for the paternity test (DNA Test). I made the deal with the man
that if Amber was wrong I should pay for the fees and would also extend him
a written apology. However, if she was not his daughter he would have to pay
the DNA test fees. We mutually agreed and got the test performed which came
negative and it was confirmed that she was not his daughter. Amber generally
doesn’t tell negative things to hurt people until someone challenges her
abilities.
In a similar case a family
approached us with a marriage proposal for my daughter. The boy was a doctor
with a very respectable family background. After our first meeting, we
visited their home and were introduced to the whole family. The father of
the boy had remarried a younger woman. He had four children from the first
marriage and two from the second. He remarried because his first wife had
passed away. On the surface, the family was very educated and nice and had
all the ingredients that a normal family would want in another to form
relations. Amber had many reservations about the boy and kept on analyzing
him. She told me that the man did not father the younger two daughters but
it was the older son who was the biological father of those little girls.
After a few days, the father of the boy came to see us and wanted to talk to
Amber in private. Strange to note is the fact that he told Amber that he was
doubtful about the paternity of the girls and had DNA tests done for them
and was sure that they were his kids. I think he knew that Amber had figured
out the incest and illicit relationship between his wife and his eldest son
and was covering the ground with us to pursue marriage with our daughter.
Subsequently, Amber very bluntly told them about the boy that he is having
an affair with one of the nurses in the office besides his involvement with
the stepmother. This is one of the cases that she was right on target to
weigh the character of the boy. I always wondered that why sex perversion is
becoming an epidemic in the Muslim society as we now often hear horror
stories of molestation and incest.
 Amber shows different dimension of her gift
with every person she works with, as she is excellent in reading people in
person as well as through photographs. In case of a Hispanic family, they
brought photographs of all their family members to be analyzed. Once all
pictures were spread out on Amber’s working desk, she picked up three
photographs and returned to them. She refused to read about those people and
told them that those people were dead and it is a sin to get into dead
people’s past life. This family was hugely overwhelmed by her assertion and
I always wondered how she found out that those three people were dead.
At another occasion, we were
attending a wedding when the father of the groom came to invite us to come
on to the podium and take picture with the newly weds. Amber told him that
she would follow him in a minute. After he left, she made a comment in front
of all the friends sitting on the table that she would not like to take a
picture with this witch. I got very embarrassed and asked her to be quiet
but she said that this girl has choose this boy just to get the green card
and was going to leave him merely in four months. It is so strange to note
that just before four months they were divorced.
Lately divorce is also becoming an epidemic
in the Muslim community and Amber has been counseling several girls but
unfortunately some of them do not listen to her advice and suffer. Amber has
told several families not to pursue marriages due to mismatch and in many
instances her advice was ignored and all of those marriages have failed. In
recent past she has told three girls to evaluate more about the man they
were getting married but they married them and ended up in divorce. Most of
the divorces are occurring due to either financial reasons or because of the
infidelity of either of the partners. Since our society is getting too open
and sex before marriage is becoming more acceptable by either of the
partners, it has opened a new dimension of the marriage, which is the major
reason of too many divorces. Parents need to counsel their children and
educate them to marry to make a family and try to adjust with each other’s
problems rather than divorce. If this epidemic continues, our next
generation will be as messed up as other advanced nations of western
countries.
