How are you guys doing? I was here
doing Amra in Mecca in Mukarama.
And I met,
a very famous person, a celebrity who was
converted to Islam,
and she's from Ghana, aren't you? Yes, ma'am.
Tell us what you used to do before
and what made you come to Islam.
I used to be a video assistant
Yeah.
Photo model,
and also
Does it gonna have, like, a Mollywood? Does
it does it have something like Mollywood? It's
a Gollywood. Is it Gollywood?
Gullowood. Yeah.
Okay. So I
got through my photo shoot test to do
that makeup photo shoot, and I did one
of them
my mom wasn't,
surprised at all. What what made you what
about the religion of Islam in particular attracted
you about it? So you said, okay. Your
the people, the the brothers and sisters, they
gave you a good support. What was there
anything else? The
in Islam, I seek peace in it. Yes.
I I used to be peace Yeah. And
I did the church. Yeah. Though they said
Allah looked into the heart
of human. Mhmm.
I didn't see that Christian could feel me
down to me. Mhmm. But since I joined
Islam
Mhmm. There are some things that I used
to do before. I used to be loud.
I talk about people issue.
I'll be there. I'll wear transparent things. I'll
be dancing, working on social media.
It can cause issues. The kings and the
chiefs of Ghana will be calling on me
on radios. They
at a point, they said I should change
the name of Eklappin Polo because Eklappin is
the name of one of the
cities
in Ghana.
Mhmm. Polo. Mhmm. So because of my behavior,
the chief ordered me to stop missing
the people. I didn't listen, so I had
issue with the with with the cops. Do
you think Islam gave you discipline then? That
that is what I want to say. Mhmm.
Yeah. That's what very, because
Islam has really take me down. Mhmm. I
sometimes, I feel like if you put in
on something,
put on camera on me, then, no. I
will post it. Even if I tried doing
the video, I I can't post it. I
will move. I can never put on anything
transparent,
showing my hands outside.
How do you feel praying here in Becca,
and what was the experience like? You came
here for Umrah and prayers as well. How
did you feel about it? When I was
coming, I didn't know the feeling.
So when I got here,
that night, they said we have to go
and do our own.
Oh my god. So I
so is more than
1,000,000,000.
Yeah. And no country, no religion can hold
such.
This is serious. It's
Yes. No one is sleeping.
I'm bigger than you. I'm rich than you.
I have to sit here, and you have
to sit here. You know, if if in
Christian religion,
if you have money, you have to sit
in France. Really? The rich people,
they have where to sit and the poor
people, like, not that poor. You know, That's
how they arrange in the church
that were up up Yeah. People. So, yeah,
it's not like that. Eco Ground sits the
same place. Just that it's in Islam,
they don't mix women
with men. Mhmm. So in Islam,
the women
will be
an an at different
sometimes.
And then the men will depend
how the arrangement is.
That's really good. You've done really well for
yourself, I have to say. And do you
think that because you've seen both kind of
lives. You've seen the discipline, spiritual life of
Islam,
believing and worshiping one god. Because Islam I
mean, for people that don't know what Islam
is that are watching this in Ghana and
from West Africa and from Africa, from where
else in the world,
you need to understand that Islam is a
religion where we only believe in 1 God.
Yeah. We believe in Abraham and Moses and
Jesus. We believe that all of these prophets
came
with only one message, which is to believe
in 1 god
and to be good to your fellow man.
So we don't believe, for example, like Christians
believe that Jesus was god himself. Mhmm. We
don't believe that he was part of the
trinity. We don't believe in the holy spirit
was god or that the trinity is true.
So this is the main difference between Islam
and Christianity. Because we would say, why is
it the case that you have a man
who's God anyway? How could you have a
man that's God? Because a man is limited
and God is unlimited. God is the creator
of the heavens and the earth. Whereas a
man, he had a beginning. Anyone with a
date of birth cannot be God. Jesus had
a date of birth. Birth. Therefore, Jesus could
not be god. But we believe in Jesus.
We believe that he's the messiah. We believe
that he's the prophet. We we respect him.
We respect Mary, his mother. So these these
are the main differences between Christianity
and Islam from a theological perspective.
But I was gonna ask you now, imagine
as people because you
obviously, you're in touch with the younger generations.
I mean, you you're very much, you know,
Gen Z and Millennials. They know your work
and they know what you're about, especially in
your area.
Do you think if more people took the
turn that you took, done the things you've
done, which is become a Muslim,
embrace discipline, spiritual and physical discipline, do you
think that
the world would be a better place, that
Ghana would be a better place? It will.
With what I saw at the where the
carvings, where I went to my this is
like, the whole world will be peaceful. Mhmm.
Very peaceful. They used to say that in
Islam, there's no peaceful. But when I joined
and I don't think anything is going to
take me back.
Sometimes my sisters, my friends, they'll say, Muslim,
peace, so don't let anything take you back
or don't let it me,
4.
So that should tell you that
Christian, where I go is because I my
son is with me. Mhmm. So if I'm
going to church, my son's with him. We
used to go to church, but
my son is Islam.
My father is Muslim. So I want
to bring him up
in Islam so that when he grow up
and he say, oh, me, I want to
be Muslim. That is his own
decision.
Me. So myself, since I'm interested in the
Islamic religion,
I I took the lead. I thought of
taking the lead, going to mosque,
and going to the teachings. I think it's
language and teaching with my son. So that
when you grow up, you shouldn't You
You lived a life before you became Muslim,
you were saying half naked pictures in a
dancing, but, you know, acting maybe.
And you've seen all this kind of thing.
Did that give you happiness?
It didn't give me happiness because each and
every day that I post something,
I know that this stuff I'm going to
post, they'll give me insults.
Mhmm. They use tissues. Yes. It have What
kind
Mhmm. They use tissues. Yes. It have What
kind of insults like you? I've been a
troublesome person on social media. Yeah. Yes. For
some, you
if you have an
issue, I'll pick on you. Like, if you
get married, at least, I'll just say that,
oh, you're married because your wife is pregnant.
Oh, I see. And then defaming your your
your your So you've been defamed before? Yes.
That's what I've been doing to people.
And so
after aside that, I do
bikini pictures. Mhmm. Yes. And when I do
it, it change.
Mhmm. Anytime I do it, it goes viral
depending on how I do it. Mhmm. And
I wear transparent something, and then I'll be
and I'll post it. Mhmm. So it was
causing problem. Mhmm. Yes. It it and I
got attention of the president, even a president
Mhmm. And the chiefs, and even outside the
country, the celebrities
outside the country. Because here's the here's the
thing. Like,
many people,
many women across the world and some men,
of course, but mostly it's a female dominated
industry, would would post things like that, would
post sexual pictures and stuff. And there there's
a difference between
influence and fame. Mhmm.
Okay? Because some people think, okay, well, if
they get a 100000 views, if they get
a 1000000 views, that means influence.
But really, that that person is being used
as, sorry to say, a pornographic entity, like
a handkerchief.
It's only that the person doesn't care
about. You know? So what I'm trying to
say is that
when you leave
that life That life. You're no longer being
used as an object. Yes. And and And
now you're a human being again. Yeah. And
now some
at first, some
businesses and some companies didn't want to work
with me Yeah. Because they say that,
I'm not good for their brand
with what I've been doing. And some of
the celebrities
were even saying that because of things that
I do, I'm not good for their brand.
They can't shoot a movie with me. Mhmm.
Sometimes contracts will come. We know that the
producer will send a script to me, and
then he will let me know the movie
that is on board. Later on, I will
see the movie showing in Unlock.
I see. Yes. Sometimes to some,
companies
wouldn't want to
work with me because of, that
I but since I stopped all these for
the past 2 years now that I stopped
all these things, if you look at the
big man that came Mhmm. Just at first,
he will not come to me because I'm
too loud and no
right person,
no one in their right senses will come
close to me and and behave there like
that. Mhmm. Because everyone who cherish the Mhmm.
And it behaved there like that. Mhmm. Because
everyone the temptations and yes. So now that
I've come, I'm able to enter some places
that those days I'm not able to enter.
And when they call big people, they call
me to
Mhmm. Do some brands that were giving me
money
Mhmm. Because some likes skincare products because I
was exposed to instill Mhmm. They were coming.
Mhmm. But some big big companies like
phone shops and, like, phones and
You know, the prophet told us prophet Muhammad
told us that if you do something
to try and please the people,
but it displeases Allah,
Then Allah makes the people displeased with you,
and he becomes displeased with you.
Whereas, if you do something
which it's displeasing to Allah,
it's displeasing to the people, but it's pleasing
Allah, then Allah makes the people pleased with
you and Allah pleased with you. That's your
story is a beautiful
example
of that because now you have a whole
family of 2,000,000,000 people, the Muslim
people, brothers and sisters, who don't see you
just as some kind of pornographic entity or
to relieve their desires. They see you as
a human being
with ideas
who they have genuine love for, that they
wanna be connected to, that they will protect.
You're you're
more than just the numbers on the screen
or a 100000, 200,000,000 people, whatever it may
be, but they don't care. Now you're part
of a family.
And, something else I wanted to say to
you is that when you become Muslim,
all of your sins in the past have
been removed.
This is, you know, like like you have
born again Christians. We also, as Muslims, when
you become Muslim and you say shahada, the
same idea applies. So anything you've done in
the past, whether it's half naked pictures, whether
it's even worse than this, anything you've done
even if you kill somebody,
we believe
that Allah, he removes and cleanse
cleanses all of your purifies all of your
sins,
and you become like a newborn baby.
So you don't have to think about your
previous life now. This is a new life,
alhamdulillah. Well, tell me, find
some things bother me a lot, especially the
picture I took with my son.
I've been taken when he grows up. Well,
that was all you all you will say
to him is that was in my past,
and this is my future. Some of the
greatest people and figures in Islamic history had
a horrible past, but then they became good
Muslims, and no one remembers them for the
bad. They only remember them for the good.
Like, the companions of the prophet, some of
them. The prophet's friends, some of them, they
had the hard lives. You know, they were
a bit like gangsters and these kind of
things and doing haram things, but then they
became Muslim, and all of their sins are
removed. In fact, even their sins can become
good deeds.
So you don't have to worry about that
Now you are fresh and clean like a
new snake. With that, guys,
we are gonna conclude because we need to
pray and do other things. But thank you
so much, sister, for for that. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. So this is like
a new thank you because I've been watching
you on YouTube a lot and following your
programs,
and I I didn't know a day like
this would come. I'm so blessed. Well, I'm
I'm blessed as well for having Mhmm. Met
you and to hear your story is very
inspirational, to be honest. It's very powerful.
Guys, make sure,
if
anyone attacks our sister online or tries to
say a bad word about her or spread
mess bad messages,
especially brothers and sisters in West Africa who
are following that you defend our defend our
sister because this is our duty to defend,
As the Quran says,
