"I Was Shocked When My Brother Told Me He Is Muslim. Now, I'm Muslim Too" | Helena Madera-Silmi

In this heartfelt video, Helena shares the deeply personal journey that led her from disowning her brother for converting to Islam to ultimately embracing the faith herself. Coming from a Latina household with Christian roots, the news of her brother's conversion shook her to the core. But through a tumultuous year of silence, reflection, and inner conflict, she embarked on a path of self-discovery that ultimately brought her to Islam.
Growing up, Helena's family found support in the church, but she struggled with the disconnect between what she read and what she experienced spiritually. Her quest for answers led her through various Christian denominations, but none provided the sense of connection and freedom she craved. It wasn't until her brother's pilgrimage to the Kaaba and his steadfast commitment to Islam that she began to question her preconceptions.
Despite initial resistance, Helena found herself drawn to Islam's emphasis on direct connection with the divine, free from intermediaries or rituals. Through research and introspection, she uncovered the scientific and spiritual depth of Islam, and it resonated with her in ways she never imagined. The concept of Tawheed, the oneness of God, struck a chord, offering the spiritual liberation she had long sought.
At the age of 18, Helena took her Shahada, embracing Islam as her path to spiritual fulfillment. It was a moment of profound joy and clarity, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life. Join Helena as she shares the transformative journey that led her from skepticism to faith, from disownment to acceptance, and from confusion to spiritual enlightenment. Subscribe and follow along as we explore the beauty and depth of Islam together. Peace and blessings be upon you all. Alhamdulillah. #muslimconvertstories #islamicvideo #islamicmotivation

I'm originally a Hindu woman and after studying Bible and Quran for two years I had converted to Islam last year on 21 April 2023 at age 64 in UK. I'm constantly studying Quran and related Islamic scriptures and at awe how I remained in darkness and prayed at hollow statues for 64 years whom could do no harm and neither help me in anyways.

@@aplikacijaaplikacija798 In case you did not know, music is bad for you. I know for sure. It plays in your head long after you have stopped listening to it. Hence, it occupies the limited bandwidth of your brain. And thus it gets in the way of cognitive performance. Also, the nonstop orchestra becomes extremely annoying. This is a huge problem for neurosensitive persons like me. In short, Shariah is a miracle. The incredible genius, the boundless wisdom of Shariah can't be denied. For it is from the All Wise, All Knowing. Shariah only forbids that which is bad for you. Like noise, err, I mean, music. Come to think of it, music is noise. For it is meaningless sounds - the very definition of noise. So I am pleased to say that I hate this ear drug that you call music. 😃

[@jeremycrawford4004]

How can God be three persons united by one life? The same way that a man, the image bearer can be a FATHER to his son, a SON to his father, and have an eternal SPIRIT inside himself and still be ONE person all at the SAME TIME. That's the UNITY of the Godhead explained..."Hear o' Israel the Lord our God is ONE" (Deuteronomy 6 verse 4)... Now, how can the eternal Son be equal to the eternal Father? The same way that a man, the image bearer, has a son, and that son carries on the name, image, and life of his father. The equality among father and son is life based, while recognizing the father as the greater vessel. That's the persons of the Trinity explained..."I and the Father are ONE" (John 10 verse 30)... Every single question about the Trinity is answered by the life of the image bearer, man. The Trinity is literally the easiest reality of God that can be explained because God made a living and breathing illustration of who He is, and that is man, His created image bearer. Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 "let US make man in OUR image" Genesis chapter 1 verse 28 "be fruitful and MULTIPLY" Feel free to ask any questions...

🎉Christians say Jesus is God, then they say, God was born from marry, then they say God walked, talked, sleeped, eat, was killed. Then, they say say God Jesus died... Muslims: Allah or God is one, creator, Almighty. HE not sleeps, eats, walks, dies etc. HE is not born to any one, nor Is associated with any partner. No son, no father. HE gives us life & death. HE creates any thing from any thing. HE creates life from non-living. HE created Prophet Jesus from Marys womb without any male intervention. HE is the supreme creator. Jesus Is prophet of Allah or God, Almighty like other prophets. Jesus or Isa or Isaiah son of Mary is alive and will come back not once again as prophet and will die & buried too like others. The last Prophet was Prophet Mohammed pubh with the last Message Quran. Jews reject the Prophet to sent among non-jews, they think they are superior so are in ego. Iblees shaitan because of ego and let failed to followed orders of Allah or GOD to prostate before Adam in the beginning. So, Shaitan was expelled from heaven with curses because of ego of superiority said, "I have been created from fire and Adam with soil". Jews too killed or crucified messengers or prophets of Allah. Christians should know not only Isa son Mary was created without father but Adam, Gabriel, Angles too were created without parents. More over see the power of Allah, EVa a female, mother of humanity was created from Adam (a male). Think over it, Allah has the power to do anything beyond our imagination.
