French reality TV star Marine el Himer converts to Islam, performs Umrah

Says this is a choice of soul, heart, and reason

French model and reality TV star Marine El Himer has converted to Islam and performed Umrah pilgrimage.

Himer shared her photos in a hijab near the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest site in Mecca, saying that these moments marked the “happiest day” of her life.

“There are no words strong enough to express the intensity of happiness and emotions experienced at this very moment. A spiritual journey that I hope will continue to uplift and guide me Inshaallah,” she posted on Instagram.

She revealed that she had accepted Islam a few months ago, adding that this was “a choice of soul, heart, and reason.”

Himer, who is followed by millions of people on social media, shared a video of herself stating the ‘Shahada’, the declaration of the Islamic faith.

Himer featured on the reality television show “Les Princes et les Princess de l’Amour” (“The Princes and Princesses of Love”) in France.

The popular influencer also thanked her followers for their support and kindness.

French media reported that Himer grew up with her stepfather, conducted some research about her biological father and where they originally came from for a long time, and met Islam during this period.
