So is God real or not?&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;I just want the truth. I was so confused.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;Do not always believe the media. Try to always question and double check the facts.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;Islam teaches that to save a life is to save all of humanity.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;We should respect everyone, whether they&#39;re Christian, whether they&#39;re Jew, it doesn&#39;t matter.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;The moment I stopped debating, the only moment I opened my heart, I opened the Quran, I had the answer.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;I realized that no one in my church thinks about the Father.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;I didn&#39;t want Islam to be true, because I will have to change everything.&quot;</p><p>🌟 &quot;There&#39;s much more to learn, do not be so hard on your own bubble.&quot;</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters</p><p>03:30 Mariana&#39;s Childhood and Early Struggles</p><p>06:31 Journey from Doubt to Faith</p><p>10:41 Missionary Work and Evangelism</p><p>14:17 Preaching in Muslim Countries</p><p>16:27 Understanding Islam and Christianity</p><p>21:24 Theological Insights and Revelations</p><p>26:12 The Story of Bilal: A Symbol of Equality in Islam</p><p>30:05 Dreams and Signs: A Journey of Faith</p><p>33:34 Questi
