Letico Tirado Murga, the Spaniard, who took Islam after reading and studying the Holy Koran, moved to Egypt for a more comfortable and free life.
Murga, who settled in the Tunisa of the Egyptian province of El Fayyum in 2017 and received the name Melek from local residents, told Anadol about the problems that she encountered in her country, and about a new life in Egypt.
Murga said that she loves Safari and campaigns in the desert: “Since childhood, I was a man who was not indifferent to cars. When I was 5-6 years old, I loved to travel by car with my family. In the desert I find myself and my soul. People ask me to show them a desert. I am happy to walk with people in the desert and show them beautiful places. “
I want to live among Muslims
Murga prefers to live in Egypt, because, after I accepted Islam, I encountered certain restrictions and social pressure in my country.
“I accepted Islam 2 years before arrival in Egypt. I decided that I want to live among Muslims,” she said.
According to Murge, before arriving in Egypt, she was little familiar with the way of life of Muslims and Arabic culture: “When I arrived in Egypt, I did not plan to stay here and I had no specific plans. Honestly, the Egyptians surprised me. People surprised me. They treat me very well and with love. I felt here the beauty and freedom of religion, I am happy and I want to live in this environment. “
If people follow what is written in the Qur’an, then everything will be in order
Murga said that she loves to read books very much and once began to read the Holy Quran. Opening the Qur’an for the first time, she stumbled upon Sura Nisa.
“I thought to myself. If people follow what is written in this book (sacred Qur’an), then everything will be fine and ordered. What is written in the Qur’an has acquired a special meaning for me. I began to study the Qur’an and I learned that this book was not written by people, but is the word of Allah. I believed in it and live in accordance with its principles, ”she said.
Having become a Muslim, she faced various problems in her country
Murga emphasizes that, having become a Muslim, she faced many problems in her country. According to her, I had to abandon many habits, and her life has changed dramatically.
In conclusion, Murga says:
“If you are convinced of something, then for you there is no such thing as” difficult. “For example, people in Spain are used to eating pork and love it very much. They ask me:” Why don’t you eat pork? – And they are surprised. “
