Muhammad, two this month, was given a 30 per cent chance of survival after shrapnel pierced his body.

His British grandad Sultan, 48, and dad, Miraj, 22, were among 182 killed.

Mum Basbibi, 19, had got on an RAF flight to Dubai before the suicide bomber struck.

Yesterday, Home Secretary Priti Patel gave Muhammad and close family, including his five-month-old sister Kalsoom, permission to stay here.

Basbibi, in London, said: “It has been awful but finally there is some good news.

“I’m really thankful to your newspaper for your help, and we are very grateful to the British government.

“I’m so happy and excited I’ll be reunited with my babies.”
