Christian converts to Islam after attending Muharram sessions in Nigeria

During the 12th day Ashura Majlis in Kano on Thursday, a youth who attended the mourning session converted to Islam. Obviously touched by the message of Ashura, the youth voluntarily presented himself before Sheikh Muhammad Mahmoud Turi after night prayers and pronounced the Shahadah or testimony (is an Islamic creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet). He chose Muhammad as his new name.
