Maryam Lemu | The Muslim Marriage Crisis | TAM #4
Ghanaian Muslim preacher ‘UTI Dawah’ challenges Christian claims against Islam, arguing that Muslim scholars meticulously preserved both authentic and weak hadith; including narrations on sensitive issues, rather than concealing them. He contrasts this with Christianity, accusing its proponents of failing to show the same transparency about their own history and doctrines, before questioning when the Church of Christ was actually founded. #dawah #islam #christianity FOLLOW ONE NATION MEDIA: Website: https://1nationmedia.com/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1NationMediaTV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1nationmediaFB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1nationmediainsta X (Twitter): https://x.com/1nationmediax TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@1.nation.media Telegram: https://t.me/onenationmediaTG
Islam’s Honesty Vs. Christianity’s Deception
Are African Muslims embracing modernity, or slowly losing sight of the values that define us? More than 600 years ago, Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun warned that defeated societies often begin imitating those who dominate them. From how we dress and socialise to how we define success, relationships, marriage and family, Shoni Lesoga explores how much of what we consider “normal” today has been shaped by Western influence. #africa #islamichistory #islam FOLLOW ONE NATION MEDIA: Website: https://1nationmedia.com/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1NationMediaTV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1nationmediaFB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1nationmediainsta X (Twitter): https://x.com/1nationmediax TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@1.nation.media Telegram: https://t.me/onenationmediaTG

Nineteen-year-old Shonisani Lesoga, a Black South African convert to Islam, says she faced more criticism over her decision to embrace the faith from fellow Black Africans than from non-Black people. Growing up, Shonisani believed Islam was a religion exclusively for Indians, but says learning about the faith broadened her perspective and challenged many of her previous assumptions. She now encourages fellow Black South Africans to step outside their comfort zones, engage in open conversations and seek knowledge about Islam and opportunities they may not have previously considered. #islam #southafrica #muslims FOLLOW ONE NATION MEDIA: Website: https://1nationmedia.com/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1NationMediaTV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1nationmediaFB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1nationmediainsta X (Twitter): https://x.com/1nationmediax TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@1.nation.media Telegram: https://t.me/onenationmediaTG
