Rapper Abdulazeez Fashola a.k.a Naira Marley has argued that Muslims who do not believe in Jesus Christ are not real Muslims.
Muslims consider Jesus as a prophet sent by God but disagree with Christians on their claim that Jesus is the son of God.
“No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (Peace be upon him),” he wrote via his X handle.
Fans reacted to his post.
@Ruth: “You’re just here to cause confusion. Leave Jesus for us, we don’t care if you believe in him or not. He remains the son of God, full stop”.
@Eidristaiwo: “I think many Muslims believe in Jesus, he was mentioned severally in the Quran, where the problem is Muslims not accepting him as “God” they’ve vehemently rebuffed it to irks or Christians. Christians however don’t believe in Muhammed. It’s just crazy”.
@AbuTwins: “You’re right but let me clear it for you; yes we Muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ. We consider him as one of the Almighty God’s greatest messengers to humankind not as God or as Son of God. In fact The Qur’an re-affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities. Furthermore, his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation”.
@Al bin Rashid Al Falasi: “Muslims believe in Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and his mother, Mary, so deeply that an entire chapter in the Quran is named after her. Yet, Judaism does not recognize Jesus as a prophet. Yet Christians love sending billions to Israel”
