Martina Oberholzner from Germany is currently living in Dubai where this is the first Ramadan of her life after accepting Islam.
According to Emirati media, 26-year-old Martina Oberholzner’s name has now become Maryam and the world now knows her by that name. She accepted Islam at the beginning of this year and now this is the first Ramadan of her life in Dubai.
According to the report, Maryam is finding comfort in her new faith with the German edition of the Quran.
According to reports, Maryam’s journey to Islam began at the age of 14 when she first visited a mosque in her hometown of Munich in Germany, where she and her friends were warmly welcomed.
According to Emirati media, Maryam, 26, a marketing executive, says that at an early age I felt a deep connection with Islam, although I was brought up in a Christian family, but I was always drawn to the teachings of Islam.
They say that I used to wear ordinary clothes and often wore a headscarf, but in January 2024, I accepted Islam by going to an Islamic information center in Dubai and learned about the Oneness of Allah and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger announced to accept. In addition, Maryam has written on social media regarding Ramadan that Ramadan is not only the name of abstaining from food and drink, it teaches us the importance of patience and gratitude.
