“Honestly, Islam is a peaceful religion. The aspect I love most is that you don’t need any pastor to get closer to God. You don’t really need anybody to pray for you. You can always pray on your own and Almighty Allah will answer your prayer without any intermediary. I have been doing that since I became a Muslim and it has always worked for me.”
Lizzy is a popular Yoruba actress. She was born in Christian family.

But rumors have i that her conversion was made because of her new date, an Alhaji – a big boss from Lagos.
She said on her conversion that:
“Actually, my conversion to Islam is not new, it’s only that people were not aware. I have been a Muslim for long. I even have pictures to support that. Although my name is Elizabeth, which is the Christian name my dad gave me because he was a Christian.
Then, I also have a Muslim name, Aishat, given to me by my mother, who was a Muslim. Also, some from my mother’s family members also named me Sekinat. Even my daughter’s name is Rufaidat. So, I grew with the two religions. And being the only child of my parents, I was given so many names, including Egandogo, Omosolape, Akanke. My Badagry name is Yenukunmun, meaning Isoju ota ni nse maa se rere (I will excel in the presence of my enemies).”

secondly, they’re all together unwise
all christian should wake up to fight this battle to finish on our knee tonight.
I think, they were not.
The fact that they were born to christian families or attended church worship services dont make them christian; point of correction.
They were only church attendees (church people) who never encounter salvation which should eventually make them christians.
No wonder, they never experienced peace, never had formidable homes nor found covering in their pastors.
The Bible did not say if a man be in church is a new creature, rather if a man be in Christ. 2 Corinth 5:17.
Very soon, others will soon jump out because they are in church and not in Christ. Those in Christ are rooted and rugged, but those in church without being in Christ are not planted but are just hanging.
POWER, DOMINION, GLORY AND HONOR BE TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS, IS AND IS TO COME AMEN!
the christianity is not a religion coz it wasn’t stated in the whole bible. so also jesus, jesus doesn’t knw the name Jesus.
my fellow nigerians join in the world only religion which is Islam
Causing Us our Woes — Sheikh Khalid Yasin
The renowned islamic scholar critcises
Muslims for failing to be accommodating
with Christians as many Christians are with Muslims.
He said that whereas Christian families are
tolerant of their Children, who dress in Islamic garb and praying the Islamic way, Muslims are not so accommodating of Christians.
This unlike the behavior of the Prophet
of Islam whose uncle, Abu Talib did not
convert to Islam, yet Allah (God) sent
help to the Prophet through him. Abu Talib defended & protected the prophet during
his mission in Mecca. It was after he passed that the prophet left Mecca.
Further highlighting this poor attitude and lack of tolerance of today’s Muslim, he gave the example of Egypt, where Muslim Brotherhood leaders led the oppression of Christians in Egypt. It was not long after they oppressed the Christians that the military seized power from them, and they were scattered in all direction.
Sheikh Khalid pointed to the prayer-room used as a Church that the Christians gave to Muslims to use for prayers.”
Muslims are accommodated much more in Christian countries, a generosity that is hardly
reciprocated Muslim countries. This in his words is leading to the loss and down fall of Muslims and reducing their capacity for effective Dawaah (evangelism).
“Muslims bad behavior,” he said, “is why Allah took the Dawaah (evangelism) from us”.
Despite much aggitation, all these ppl have their reasons for conversion but the best of all reasons is if done for the sake of God Himself. Allah knows best*
