Touring the black continent for years to introduce Christianity to
Africans, a Sierra Leonean Christian missionary has reverted to Islam,
turning into a Muslim preacher who helped thousands of Africans to find Islam.
“For many years, I tried to persuade Muslims in my country to adopt
Christianity, then I had a dream in which I was invited to adopt Islam,”
Musa Bangura said.
Bangura with Islam started twenty years ago when he had the same dream of “Islam invitation” for three consecutive times.
Converting to Islam in 1993, he became one of the leading Muslim preachers in Africa and Sierra Leone.
Instead of spanning across Africa to call people to adopt
Christianity, the new Muslim preacher had a new mission to find
differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity.
“I revealed the contradictions in Christianity which resulted in my
discussions with Christian priests, I proved them that Islam is the real
religion.” Bangura said.
Muslims believe in Jesus (peace be upon him) as one of the great
Prophets of God and that he is the son of Mary (peace be upon her) but
not the Son of God. He was conceived and born miraculously.
In the Noble Qur’an, Jesus is called “`Isa”. He is also known as Al-Masih (the Christ) and Ibn Maryam (Son of Mary).
As for his crucifixion, Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified
but was lifted up to heaven. Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon
him) will come back to earth before the end of time to restore peace and
order, fight the Anti-Christ (Al-Masikh Al-Dajjal) and bring
victory for truth and righteousness. The true followers of Jesus will
prevail over those who deny him, misrepresent him and reject him.
Abandoned by his family and wife after converting to Islam, Bangura
tried to build a bigger family by helping needy Sierra Leone Muslims.
He later launched ‘Why Islam’ website to introduce true information
about Islam as well as directing Why Islam In Action (WIIA)
organization, sponsored by a Turkish organization, IHH Insani Yardim Vakfi.
The website achieved huge success, helping more than 8,000 non-Muslims to adopt Islam.
“I now work for the Christians in my county and try to help them realise the truth and choose Islam,” Bangura said.
