A five-part film series depicting the true stories of several Muslims from different countries who, despite their strong faith in Islam and deep roots in the cultures in which they lived, radically changed their lives. Yet this required a touch from God. Perhaps prayer for Muslims is the most effective means of helping these people experience a conversion of faith. God finds His way, even though missionary work is punishable by death in these countries.

The first episode tells the story of Dini, whose father died when she was still a girl. After a personal crisis, she begins a journey of seeking God. Jesus answers her call by revealing Himself to her. When Dina’s family learns that she has become a follower of Jesus Christ, she is forced to leave home due to family conflicts. For Dina, however, the most difficult period began—a time of forgiving those who had hurt her and gradually reconciling with them.

The second part follows the story of Ali, an alcoholic who terrorizes his family when he’s drunk. Whenever he sobers up, he feels terrible about what he’s done, but he can’t seem to stop. So he leaves home to work as a bricklayer in Istanbul. There, he drinks away the money he earns. Over time, driven by his desire to stop drinking, Ali ends up in Saudi Arabia. He wants to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He wants to become a devout Muslim and mend relationships within his family. On the pilgrimage, however, he experiences a mystical dream in which Jesus appears to him. Based on this, he changes his life. He leaves Saudi Arabia. He encounters other strange moments that suggest the dream was not merely a figment of his imagination. Ali eventually returns home and renounces the Muslim faith. After facing certain complications in his life, he comes across the New Testament, and through it, he finds a path forward for the rest of his life.

The third story is about Chali, a devoted and zealous Muslim warrior. His life was marked by hatred toward Christians. As one of the most devoted, Chali is chosen to study the Bible and point out its errors and falsehoods in the fight against Christians. However, during his studies, instead of refuting the truth of the Bible, he begins to have serious doubts about the authenticity of the Quran. Moreover, he has a strange dream that includes a clue as to where he will find the lost Bible. Chali’s heart is ultimately transformed, and he becomes a new person.

The fourth story is about the life of Khosrow, who flees with his family all the way from Iran to Austria. The plot focuses primarily on events from his youth, when he was considered an oddball in his hometown. As part of his search for God, he ends up at a Christian church, where he encounters the New Testament. Yet he still feels that something is missing. He calls out to God, and God answers him. Chosrow is filled with joy, and his personality begins to change. He is healed of the wounds from his childhood. After fleeing to Austria with his family, Chosrow eventually makes his way to the United States, where he begins serving as a pastor.

The fifth story is about Muhammad, who grows up in Africa in a Muslim environment. He becomes a Muslim spiritual leader and teacher and longs to go to Saudi Arabia to study. However, he has several dreams that turn his life upside down. He abandons the Muslim faith and becomes an outcast, both within his family and the wider community. His own father attempts to have him killed several times. Before his death, however, his father summons him and repents for all the harm he has caused his son. He, too, decides to accept faith in Jesus Christ.
