The woman in the photo is named Rola. She says she found the phrase (There is no god but Allah) engraved in Arabic script on the walls of her grandmother's house in Spain... And when she asked her mother in astonishment, her mother revealed to her secrets that had been kept for hundreds of years and told her that her ancestors were Muslims:
"Oh Rola, your ancestors lived in a time when the (Inquisition campaigns) showed no mercy, and they monitored every aspect of our lives; the people running those campaigns would first search the (bathrooms) as soon as they entered the house; because your ancestors were the pinnacle of cleanliness and purity, using water in the bathroom instead of paper towels.
They monitored water consumption; so anyone who bathed a lot or purified their home and sprinkled the courtyards with water would immediately be accused of performing ablution and praying... And their punishment was death! So they would purify their homes in complete secrecy and with extreme caution.
The Quran and prayer beads:
Finding a piece of paper with an Arabic letter or (prayer beads) meant the end for that person... So they would engrave the declaration of faith inside the stone and cover it with paint, and they would count prayers with their fingers inside their pockets.
A tongue that bears witness to the truth:
To this day, Spaniards utter words like (ojalá) whose origin is (inshallah), and the word (olá) whose origin is (wallah), and even the word (cabreír) to describe cruelty, taken from (kafir), which our ancestors used to describe those who betrayed the covenant and double-crossed the Muslims at that time.
My daughter, even in death, your ancestors would deceive death to keep their faith alive... So to this day, in villages in southern Spain, when someone passes away, people recite mournful melodies and ambiguous words like (laila... laila) or (lala e lala).. They think it's just a tune for farewell, but the truth that our ancestors hid from the eyes of the Inquisition courts is that it's a distortion of the declaration of faith (There is no God but Allah).. They would teach the deceased Muslims the testimony through 'the melody' so the authorities wouldn't understand, and the word remained on the tongues of the descendants as a 'sound' after its original meaning was lost in the hearts for hundreds of years."
And in the end, Rola announced her decision, saying: "After everything I've learned, I can no longer stay silent.. I must now be a Muslim just like my ancestors, I want to return to their true image and carry the trust they engraved on the walls with their blood and souls."
And Rola recounts with heartache what happened after her conversion to Islam: "Since entering Islam, I've started crying for them by days, weeks, and months.. I would ask myself bitterly: I wonder what you must have felt, my ancestors, when the inquisitors entered your homes to search them? What was your feeling in those moments? With every nightfall, and with every prostration I make now, my tears pour forth with longing and pain for what they endured."

@aissaataaa Toute ma nation sera pardonnée, sauf ceux qui auront parlé de leurs péchés, comme dans le cas de l'homme qui commet un péché la nuit et qui, le matin, alors qu'Allah l'a dissimulé, s'adresse à quelqu'un en disant : "Écoute, cette nuit, j’ai fait telle et telle chose."
