Yoruba actress, Moji Olaiya has said that her decision to embrace Islam as a religion was born out of genuine desire to strengthen her relationship with God rather than the rumour that she did so because of any man.
The actress, who spoke in a recent interview with Encomium magazine, revealed that contrary to speculations that she converted to Islam on account of a man, she has always had roots in Islam hence her decision to fully embrace the religion.
“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”
Moji who converted from Christianity to Islam last year stated that she finds Islam to be a peaceful religion and also one which affords you direct communication with God.
“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. ”
