The reason i'm announcing this is that in the Qur'an, Hadith and the Prophet that we are all following, it is not written anyplace that there is Shi'ite, Izala, Terriqqa, Tijanniyah, Salafiya, Ahmadiyya, Quraniyu or another sect in Islam. God told us to obey the 5 pillars of Islam and obey him as the handiest God.
"here's the same message He sent to Christians of old through Jesus Christ who we name Prophet Isa. but, up to date day Christians have nowadays grew to become their religion the wrong way up. The Ebira Muslim Ummah has these days became their faith to the manner of up to date day Christians on account of this Imamate subject. there's nothing like that in Islam. What they're doing is contemporary Christianity".
because the presenter tried to caution him, he insisted on making his element, asserting, "Don't be in a rush. I have a reason for announcing that because i'm heading someplace. Even you are going to still ought to go and verify your Bible nowadays.
"The historic era Christians who adopted Jesus Christ used to call him "teacher". He changed into despatched to the Israelites and given the Bible. We Muslims name him the spirit of God. Jesus instructed Christians that there is just one God who created him. that you can verify this in the Bible book of Deuteronomy 6:four. Jesus talked about and i quote; 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one'. Jesus instructed the historical era Christians in the ebook of Mark 12:19 when he became requested about God that; 'Hear O' Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one'. nevertheless in the publication of Mark 10:32, the Israelites affirmed what Jesus had been telling them, announcing, 'O teacher, you said it and also you are right. The Lord our God is one'.
"seem, Jesus was a Muslim. any person who's worshipping God in Ebira land know that each one we have referred to now's Islam. There is no different god however Allah alone and there's none beside Him, according to the Qur'an. The equal component that Jesus said then is what the Qur'an has pointed out now.
"It became after Jesus died that Saint Barnabas and Paul stood up and coined the note Christian, to mean Christ-like, lengthy after the demise of Jesus Christ. it is the Christian religion that people are following these days. That became no longer the religion of Jesus and that is what those struggling to develop into Imam are bringing into Islam nowadays", Asuku declared.
He noted the governor do not need been concerned within the issue of chosing an Imam have been it now not for he indisputable fact that as the State's chief executive, the safety and well-being of the society rests on his shoulders.
"We won't sit down down and allow Ebira land to be engulfed in crisis, otherwise the governor is simply too large to come back home and be participating within the technique of identifying an Imam", he noted within the forty four minutes, 20 seconds video.
Asuku warned Ebira youths towards abusing the state governor on the social media, promising that one among such individuals would soon be made a scapegoat with a purpose to serve as a deterrent to others.
