Spreading the call between Canada and Ecuador

The AROPL Media team continues its series of interviews with new members of the faith, sharing diverse personal stories that reflect the universal appeal of the Riser of Truth from the family of Muhammad. These testimonies showcase epic journeys toward peace and light under the guidance of Aba Al-Sadiq.

Miriam Robalino Satamaria, originally from Ecuador and now residing in Canada, reflects on her spiritual evolution. Having spent over 20 years as a Christian Evangelist before transitioning to Shia Islam for 2.5 years, Miriam eventually embraced the AROPL.

"I was seeking the true purpose of life," she explains. "I realized it couldn’t just be about material success—degrees, jobs, or family. Even those who seemed to have it all often felt empty. I needed to understand the true objective of existence."

Miriam’s journey was not without struggles. "I was initially misled by false pastors, passionately preaching that Jesus died for us all. Later, as a strict Muslim, I followed the rigid rules dictated by non-working sheiks, striving for divine grace. Yet, something was still missing."

A pivotal moment came during the inauguration of the 2024 Olympic Games. "I wanted to watch it on YouTube but stumbled upon a live program where Aba Al-Sadiq was discussing Imam al-Mahdi. At first, it seemed suspicious, but I couldn’t stop watching. One video led to another, and eventually, I was completely convinced."

Before encountering Aba Al-Sadiq, Miriam experienced profound moments of spiritual resonance. "I often heard a voice urging me to seek Imam al-Mahdi. It was so powerful that it affected my ability to concentrate or sleep. Once I found Aba Al-Sadiq, everything clicked."

Since embracing the faith, Miriam has been active, sharing the message with friends, family, and her community. Her sister has also joined the call, and together, they distribute flyers and engage in local outreach.

Their efforts extend beyond Canada. "We plan to travel to Ecuador to spread the dawah there."

Miriam draws on her background as a Christian Evangelist. "I want to implement a door-to-door approach in Ecuador. People there are familiar with this style and may be more receptive to hearing about the call."

Additionally, she contributes by translating Aba Al-Sadiq’s messages into Spanish and placing posters in public spaces, including shopping malls.

Miriam acknowledges resistance from some Muslims and other acquaintances. "When I mention that the Quran has been changed or that Ramadan is celebrated at the wrong time, people become upset. Some accuse me of creating a new religion or warn me of divine punishment. But insha’Allah, they will see the truth one day."

Miriam’s dedication to spreading the message of peace and light reflects her unwavering commitment. She remains undeterred by challenges, holding firmly to the teachings of the RISER of TRUTH.

As Matthew 10:26-27 reminds us:

"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs."
