A Mexican couple has reverted to Islam after watching a Turkish TV series that elevates faith-based heroism, Albawaba reported.
FEED THE POOR
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
The couple said their shahadah, the Islamic declaration
of faith, with star Celal Al, who plays Abdurrahman Alp in the hit TV series
Ertugrul, when he visited the United States.
According to the video posted on Twitter by Muslim Council HK, the couple was inspired by the Turkish hit and started researching about Islam.
Afterward, they decided to embrace the faith.

In 2009, only 1 percent of Muslims identified as Hispanic. By 2018, it was 7 percent, according to an official report, “American Muslim Poll: Predicting and Preventing Islamophobia.”
There are 250,000 Latino Muslims in the United States, according to Islam in Spanish website.
The historical drama Ertugrul was created by screenwriter Mehmet Bozdağ and features popular Turkish actors Engin Altan Düzyatan (Ertugrul) and Esra Bilgiç Töre (Halima Sultan) in leading roles.
