“Praying 5 Times Daily Was Stressful” – Actress Habibat Jinad Opens Up on Leaving Islam and Her Life-Changing Dream

Popular Yoruba actress Habibat Jinad has opened up about her religious journey and the challenges that led her to explore Christianity despite being born a Muslim.

In an interview on Wasilacoded TV, Jinad revealed that she initially left Islam because she found praying five times a day to be stressful. However, her perspective changed after a profound spiritual experience involving her late grandmother.

“I abandoned Islam initially because I thought praying five times daily was very stressful for me, and I decided to practice Christianity,” she said.

She recounted that before her grandmother passed away, she had instructed the family to give her a rosary. Though Jinad attended church for a while, she later had a dream in which her grandmother appeared and handed her the rosary, a moment she described as life-changing.

According to her, ever since she embraced this spiritual symbol, her life has improved significantly, and she has been able to overcome challenges.

Jinad emphasized that she has come to understand that being close to God is not solely about attending a church or mosque but about having a deep spiritual connection.
