Sofia Ahmed (22), from Lower Juba, Somalia, left Islam to follow Jesus in March. She soon paid a terrible price for doing so.
Her uncle, Sharif Hussein, questioned her why she hadn't been going to the Mosque prayers on Friday.
Sofia then shared she received Christ and encouraged him to put his faith in Jesus.
“Her uncle returned with three other male relatives. Hussein asked her again if she had converted to Christianity. ‘I kept quiet,’ Sofia said. Her relatives immediately began attacking her with sticks and struck her nose with a sharp object.”
“She has remained committed to her faith despite pressure to renounce it. Her condition has improved but her recovery is expected to take weeks where she faces mounting medical expenses.”
Heavenly Father, thank you for the courage that Sofia demonstrated by witnessing to her uncle. She has suffered greatly at his hands for following Jesus. Bring her back to health quickly. Provide for her many needs especially in covering her medical expenses. Give Sofia wisdom to know where to live and support herself since she has been attacked by her family members. May the underground Christian community surround her with encouragement and support. May the hope of salvation in Jesus continue to spread in the hostile nation of Somalia. In Your name we pray. Amen.
“But I am afflicted and in pain; may Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.” – Psalm 69:29
@MasterMaliq You have not done anything here, back up your points with verses in your Quran and let others respond to it that are versed in Quran.I am sure you will change your mind.
Terrorists are demanding sharia implementation in Oyo as one of the conditions that must be met before they release the abducted school children and teachers.
Can you now understand why Islamic cleric and Muslims are quiet over the terrorists attacks? It's because Islamic terrorism is Islamic jihad as commanded by the Quran and the prophet. Islam is terrorising Nigeria.
Last Thursday night I ran out of fuel on Third Mainland Bridge.
11pm.
Phone at 2%.
No powerbank.
I want to tell you what happened next.
I pushed the hazard lights on and sat in the car.
Trying to think.
Cars were flying past me.
Nobody slowed down.
Not one person.
Lagos at night on that bridge is a different kind of alone.After about 15 minutes I saw headlights slow down behind me.
A danfo bus.
Old. Battered. One headlight slightly dim.
The driver came down.
Big man. Rough looking. Dirty shirt. Chewing something.
My first thought was fear.
My second thought was I had no choice.He looked at my car.
Looked at me.
Said "fuel?"
I nodded.
He didn't say anything else.
Just went back to his bus.
I thought he was leaving.
He wasn't.He came back with a small gallon.
Maybe two liters.
Old plastic container with a rubber pipe attached.
Like he kept it specifically for situations like this.
He poured it into my tank without being asked.
Without negotiating.
Without even looking at me for approval.I started the car.
It came on.
I came down immediately and opened my wallet.
I had ₦15,000 on me.
I held it out to him.
He looked at the money.
Then looked at me.
And shook his head.I thought he wanted more.
I told him it was all I had.
He said "keep am."
Just like that.
Keep am.
I stood there confused.
This man just helped a stranger on a bridge at 11pm and didn't want anything.I asked him why.
He leaned against his bus.
Took a long breath.
And said something I have not stopped thinking about since.He said in 1998 he broke down on that same bridge.
Night time.
Pregnant wife in the passenger seat.
No phone. No money. No fuel.
He said he sat there for almost an hour crying and praying.Then a man in a big car stopped.
Suit and tie.
Looked like someone who had no business stopping for a danfo driver.
But he stopped.
Bought fuel from somewhere.
Came back.
Filled his tank.
Refused every kobo he offered.
Said only one thing before he drove off."Pass am forward."
That was it.
Pass am forward.
The man in the suit drove away and he never saw him again.
25 years he carried those three words.
Third Mainland Bridge.
Waiting for his own turn to use them.I stood on that bridge and didn't know what to say.
This man had been holding onto someone else's kindness for 25 years.
And he chose me to give it to.
A stranger in a car he had never seen before.He got back into his danfo.
Gave me one nod.
And drove off into the night.
I stood there watching his one dim headlight disappear.
Holding ₦15,000 I couldn't give away.I sat back in my car for a long time before I drove off.
Thinking about the man in the suit in 1998.
Who had no idea what he started.
A chain of kindness that crossed 25 years and found me on the same bridge.I don't know who that danfo driver is.
I don't know his name.
But somewhere in Lagos tonight he is driving that old bus.
With one dim headlight.
And a heart that has been quietly changing lives since 1998.
Pass am forward.
*What are you passing forward today*?
Karma!!!!!
You will definitely reap something some day.
Depends on what you have been sowing!!!!
@jiddah_mk Some people don’t know the difference between marriage and dating, you must have a good reason why you want marry that person and why you prefer him to others and you want to divorce your reasons must be genuine and valid enough not because you’re seen another man.
Tinubu is not my candidate because he is Yoruba.
Yoruba people are not buying bread cheaper.
We are not buying fuel cheaper.
Our children are still being kidnapped.
Our businesses are struggling.
Our purchasing power has collapsed.
So why exactly should I vote based on tribe?
Hunger has no tribe.
Insecurity has no tribe.
Suffering has no religion.
I said NO in 2023.
I will say NO again in 2027.
Vote competence. Vote capacity. Vote character. Vote Peter Obi.
Nigeria is bigger than tribe.
Fulani Terrorists Declare War Rooted in Prophet Mohammed's Jihad Teachings, Demand Nigerians Convert to Islam or Face Death
Fulani terrorists have reportedly declared that their war is rooted in the teachings of Prophet Mohammed on jihad, urging every Nigerian to convert to Islam or continue being slaughtered. The declaration has raised alarm among religious and community leaders.
Critics are questioning why some groups still claim to be proud citizens of Nigeria while terrorists openly plan to Islamize and kill.
Leaving Islam was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made, but I have never regretted it for even a single day.
I am sharing this to encourage someone who is still afraid of taking that bold step toward Jesus Christ.
The day I decided to leave Islam, it felt like my whole world was collapsing. I honestly thought I could lose my life. The persecution was real. The rejection was painful. It was not easy at all.
But the God who called me out of darkness into His marvelous light preserved me. By His mercy, I am still alive today, and He is still using me to lead others to the truth.
I will be honest, I once persecuted Christians myself. I used to mock them and say they were worshipping a man. I even threw stones at missionaries who came to preach in my area.
Today, I am the one being mocked.
I am the one being persecuted.
I am the one being rejected.
But I count it an honor because I know I have encountered the true and living God through Jesus Christ.
And even if my life ends today, I know where I am going.
Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life. Every Muslim needs Jesus. Without Him, there is no salvation.
If you are afraid of giving your life to Christ because of persecution, remember this: the God who calls you is able to preserve you.
Jesus is worth everything.
Europeans whining about Muslim attacks, stabbings, grooming gangs, and no-go zones: Stop complaining.
You opened the borders, cheered multiculturalism, and imported millions from Sharia-loving cultures that conquered and dominated every society they’ve entered. You silenced critics as ‘racists’ while your daughters were raped and streets became unsafe.
Remember: very soon, Europeans will face Islam’s three choices for infidels - Convert, submit as a dhimmi and pay the humiliating jizya tax, or be killed. That’s not ancient history. It’s becoming reality.
You invited the enemy into your home. Now it’s time to pay the price.
I did not meet Jesus in a church. And I definitely was not looking for Him.
I was not saved by a pastor.
I met Jesus while reading the Quran.
And the wildest part was this:
He was already there.
Surah 3:45 calls Him the Messiah, honored in this world and the next.
Surah 4:171 calls Him a word from Allah and a spirit from Him.
Surah 3:49 says He gives life to the dead, heals the blind and the leper, and creates from clay.
And I remember sitting there thinking:
There is no way this is “just another prophet.”
So I compared Him to Muhammad because I had to.
One gives life.
The other led wars.
One is called sinless.
The other prayed for forgiveness.
One raises the dead.
The other could not overcome death himself.
And I started asking questions I was never supposed to ask:
Why is Jesus the only one called the Messiah?
Why is He the only one born of a virgin?
Why is He the only one coming back to judge the world?
Why does the Quran give Jesus divine titles but never fully explain them?
That tension wrecked me intellectually.
Because the same book telling me not to worship Jesus could not stop elevating Him above every other prophet.
And eventually I realized something:
I did not leave Islam because I hated it.
I left because I followed the clues honestly.
And every single one of them led me to Jesus Christ.
HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
