Singer, Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has shared his thoughts on religion and his beliefs.

Naira Marley stated that any Muslim who does not believe in Jesus Christ is not a true Muslim.

Taking to his X page, the singer wrote, “No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (Peace be upon him)”.

Since the start of Ramadan, a period of fasting and sober reflection, Naira Marley has been using his platform to share religious views.

Naira Marley’s recent post sparked a debate between Christians and Muslims. While Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, Muslims view him as a prophet of God, a messenger sent to the Children of Israel with the Gospel.

Here are some reactions on social media.

@UnlimitedEniola: Jesus doesn’t need your peace or for you to proclaim that peace be upon him, He’s a giver of peace

@GeniusHawlah: Also, a reminder that the Jesus in the Quran is different from the Jesus in the Bible.

@it_Rutie: You’re just here to cause confusion. Leave Jesus for us, we don’t care if you believe in him or not.
He remains the son of God, full stop.

@ToxiVenom25: Yes Muslim belive in Jesus. Because He is a messenger of god.

@Yusuph____: Jesus (Peace be upon him) was a prophet and messenger of God (Allah)

@abu_twinss: Yes but believing in Jesus as messenger of God not as Son of or as God.

@abu_twinss: You’re right but let me clear it for you; yes we Muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ. We consider him as one of the Almighty God's greatest messengers to humankind not as God or as Son of God. In fact The Qur’an re-affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities. Furthermore, his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation.

@Jamo_Danbatta: He is a servant of Allah and His Messenger (A S)
