I found peace РIgbo lady who converted to Islam addresses critics as she sets to marry her Muslim fianc̩

A Nigerian woman, Rahamat Chinenyenwa Ekechi, from Enugu State, who converted to Islam is set to marry her Muslim fianc, barrister Muhammad Jaji, of Plateau State.   The wedding fatiha will be held on July 19, 2025 at Masjid Moh’d Nasir Jummat Mosque in Kaduna State.   Her family, who rejected her decision to embrace Islam, would not be attending the wedding.   The mother of three took to Facebook to address the online criticisms she has been facing since she announced her wedding.   Rahamat said she had previously battled depression which almost cost her life and therefore won’t entertain criticisms over her personal choices.  Only those who are close to you and cares will understand your pain and journey and they are the only ones who will appreciate what makes you happy. But those who are far, who doesn’t know you and even never cared to know are the ones that will talk and even dictate to you how to live your life, she wrote.  “Those who are close to me knows that on a normal, I’m not stubborn but when you are seeing me from afar, you don’t know me, we have never had any conversation and you never cared to know how I got to where I am, and then booooom you want to judge me, dictate for me and suppress my emotions? Sorry I will have to be a little bit stubborn here cuz depression is real. “I have been traumatized and depressed before that I almost lost my life and I’m not ready to go through that again! not now not anymore and not for any reason!! “These past weeks has been challenging back to back and it brought back past unpleasant memories that’s almost draining and getting me depressed again but moving forward, I won’t allow it. Na Igbo I be. Na ISLAM I embrace. Na single mother I be. Based on the circumstances that was beyond my control and my quest for a religion I found peace. So I no kil+l person abeg. Today I’m UP, STRONGER and GRATEFUL. La hawla wala quwwata illa billahil aliyyil azim,…Next week is my wedding so let the count down continue.      The post I found peace – Igbo lady who converted to Islam addresses critics as she sets to marry her Muslim fianc appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
