Prominent Islamic cleric, Sheikh Sharafudeen Raji Gbadebo, has clarified that a person cannot be both a Christian and a Muslim at the same time.
Sheikh Gbadebo, who serves as the director of Al-Madeenah Islamic Center in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, emphasized that Islam and Christianity are completely distinct religions.
This comes after Fuji maestro Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal professionally known as K1 De Ultimate who is a Muslim during a recent viral interview stressed that he is a proud member of celestial Church of Christ. Apart from being a bonafide member of CCC, K1 De Ultimate said he also built a parish for them.
In his words; “I am a proud, bona fide member of the Celestial Church. I even went as far as building a parish myself. My connection with God runs deep. I seek Him everywhere I go.”
Amid the trending controversy over K1’s alleged pledge to the Christian faith, a video of Sheikh Gbadebo addressing a question about merging different religious traditions surfaced online.
The Islamic Scholar said; “Someone is attending Christian vigils and also observes Solah (an obligatory form of prayer performed five times a day by Muslims) in the mosque, tell the person that he is a ‘Kaafir’ (unbeliever).
“Many things are happening in Yorubaland. The reason many people have become disbelievers is because they claim they are confused about where their prayers can be answered. Islam does not endorse being a Muslim as well as a Christian. You cannot embrace Islam and claim you are also a follower of another religion.”
