conversion from Christianity to Islam which she did about a
year ago. Speaking with Encomium magazine, she said no
man influenced her decision to convert... and explained
why she did it.
"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. " she said.
The actress says she was born by a Muslim mother who
was an Alhaja but she later married a Christian man and
converted to Christianity. She dispelled claims by some
people that it was a man that influenced her conversion
back to Islam...
"That is the problem I have with people. When you say
you are doing something, they believe a man must be
responsible for it. No man influenced my decision to
identify with Islam. I have just said it, my mother was
an Alhaja before she converted to Christianity. Islam
has been a religion I have always loved. I have been in-
between Christianity and Islam but just recently I
decided to embrace Islam fully and there is no regret
doing so" she said
