Nollywood actress Adunni Ade in a lengthy Instagram post she made yesterday April 26 has revealed that she feels fulfilled since converting back to Islam.
The actress disclosed that she was born and raised a Muslim but converted to Christianity at a point in her life but is now back to being a Muslim.
The Nollywood star in her post also made it known that her father gave his children the free will to choose whatever religion they wanted.
Adunni goes on to say that her mom, stepmom and stepsisters are Christians while are stepbrothers are Muslims.
She goes on to say she has been to church many times but even as she attended different churches, Islam never left her as her lifestyle is based on what she learned from Islam.
She also talked about feeling afraid of what her folks will say if she returned to Islam after many years. She summoned the courage to live her life for her on December 31st, 2016. This she says was her journey back to Islam and since then she has felt fulfilled and happier.
Sharing the news with her followers, she wrote;
Do you know why I hardly talk about Religion on here? It is quite sensitive for me. The prejudgment that comes with it and all. You’ve gotta be extremely close to me know what I practice.
So for the curious ones who have been asking, Yes I am a Muslim. Born into a Muslim home and was raised as one. If you care to know, B2 in my WAEC Examination.
”I have a loving Muslim Father who has given his children the free will to choose any religion they like be it Christianity or Islam. My Mom is a Christian, though not a practicing one. My Step mom is a Christian, My step sisters are Christians, my Step brothers are Muslims.
”Have I been to a Church before? Plentyyyyy of them. I once converted, name the Church, MFM, RCCG, CLAM, CAC sure been there but one thing was certain, Islam never left me. My ways of dealing, my upbringing, all I learnt was from a Muslim and was what I truly knew. I was scared what folks would think about me if I went back to Islam and this went on for years. About 4 years ago, dec 31st 2016 I decided I would live my life for ME. Me alone! I came back to Islam. I feel fulfilled. I’m happier. I have received more Blessings this way. My Oldest son practices Islam, prays and Fasts as well.
Yes, I wear what I like, be it modest or not. Who are you to decide my inner intentions.
You know, it’s easy for you to type on your key pads and make assumptions, but folks who know me will say otherwise.
”Islam I was taught teaches me that we are judged on our intentions by Allah alone. What’s within, not what you see.
”Not looking for acceptance from anyone. I want people to live their life’s to it’s full potentials. Worry less of what the next fellow is doing. Judge less, focus on you and you alone and watch great things happen to you.
The mother of two also advised that the Ramadan period be used wisely. She concluded her post with the words:
”As Muslims do know, during the month of Ramadan, the Heavens are opened to accept our supplications and prayers and Hell is Closed and satan is caged down there. Let’s use this time wisely! I experienced Allah’s Greatness this time last year. I am looking forward to receiving my Blessings this year and every other day afterwards.
”I hope I’ve been able to clarify a few things…. y’all have a lovely night rest.”
