mexican couple islam ertugrul

A Mexican couple in 2019 converted to Islam after meeting Celal Al who played Abdurrahman Alp in the hit Turkish drama series ‘Dirilis: Ertugru’. The couple said their shahadah [the Islamic declaration of faith] in presence of Al when he visited the United States.

Al then gives both of them a copy of the Quran in Spanish and in English. Inspired by watching Ertugral, the couple intensely researched Islam and agreed to become Muslim.

“First there was a lot (of) excitement. After we did it I feel more peaceful,” the man said in the video. His wife, who was seen wearing a Turkish flag cap, said, “Very natural, no nervousness. Something that I was waiting for.”

Their comments were translated for Al who responded with ‘Allahu akbar’.

However, the video is old but as the Turkish drama series became a big hit in Pakistan, it has gone viral once again.

The rising popularity of Ertugrul in Pakistan

Dirilis: Ertugrul is a Turkish historical story and adventure television series. Mehmet Bozdağ is the creator of the story. Engin Altan Düzyatan and Esra Biljic are the leading characters [making every Pakistani crazy with their looks and acting chops]. It has 5 seasons and hundreds of episodes.

This is the show that caught fame in Pakistan very recently for many reasons. And one can see how crazy everyone is for this show. A wider public is watching the show though it’s not in the Urdu language yet. Prime Minister Imran Khan also recommended the series to his followers which is also one of the reasons for its immense popularity.
