When asked why she had come back, she replied: “This is what I wanted for me and I also think that it is the wife who joins the husband and not the other way around, so it is so. that I interpreted it “

She admitted how difficult it was at first when she announced her decision: “Actually, it wasn’t easy for me because my family didn’t understand why a strong Muslim woman should marry a Christian and even marry a Christian. enter Christianity.

She then recounted how a midnight prayer after her first child was the main catalyst in her decision to replace the mosque with the church.

When she woke up she called her husband and they said a Christian prayer and the problem was solved later so she joined him for the service this Sunday and since then she has kept her faith.

She revealed that her husband, who is a public servant, was a Methodist, “so I joined the Methodists and since then I have been a Methodist.”
