A Nigerian pastor, Oluwaseun Basil Alabi, has warmed the hearts of many after he renovated a debilitated 60-year-old mosque in Ikire, Osun state.

This was shared online by a Facebook user, Bakara Adegboyegba, who revealed that the building was commissioned days before Sallah.

Sharing before and after photos of the Mosque, Bakara wrote in part,

“It was a joyful gathering of Muslim leaders in the quiet city of Ikire, in Irewole local government area of Osun State on Friday the 16th day of July 2021, as a sixty year old Alatise mosque located at Popo junction of the town renovated by a pastor was commisoned for use.”

The Chief Imam of Ikire land, Alhaji Yunus, commended Pastor Alabi for his selfless act to the community. Thereafter, he led a special prayer session for the pastor who resides in Minnesota, US.

Speaking on why he choose to renovate the mosque, Pastor Alabi said,

”I grew up in an Ikire community where religion had no effect on our relationship. It was a time when chritians participated actively in the religious festivities of Muslims.

A time when you would find many hijab wearing women attending church sessions of chritian weddings and burials. It was a time you find young children, Muslims and Christians play together in the mosques and eat saara (food items brought to mosque as alms)together without fear or intimidation.

It was a time that humanity United us and made us one strong family, living and sharing our goodness with love and togetherness.”

Nice gesture

Hmm...

Jesus Christ whom you claim to serve won't do this.

Allahu Akbar

The Bible said we should love one another and I must say this is a great way to show that God loves us all irrespective of religion, tribe, race, beliefs and gender. More grease to your elbow, sir.

Mumu Pastor, assisting any other God is against the christian God. If you still think y'all worship the same God then you're nothing but deluded.

The Bible also said "do not worship any other God except me", so by doing this, he's not only assisting them worship another God, he's also enabling them.
What a good christian should do in this situation is try and win them over for Christ, but he wouldn't even dare, make dem use bomb destroy his home.

It won't stop them from preaching hate against infidels in that same mosque. Unless the contents of the holy books can be changed, everything else done to stop religious conflict will amount to beating about the bush

It still won't stop them from beheading you should their C in C give the go-ahead.

Don't be surprised when they tell you it is even a sin or a ridicule for an infidel to finance the building of a mosque.

Correct Guy, don't mind the mumu, he'll live to regret this I'm sure of it. To muslims if you're not worshipping their God then you're nothing but an infidel, and their holy book approves of your ambush/lynching/massacre.

The pastor is a human before religion, and has done what humans are meant to do for fellow humans (Providing shelter for them). Love knows no purpose.
Matt 5:44
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Your so called holy book is full of contradictions

Did Jesus Christ send you to save humanity?

He told you instead that the second most important thing you can do is love your neighbor as you love yourself.... but here you seem to think Jesus Christ was wrong !

So what if they do? Do you defy God because of what men can do?

Jesus Christ said fear God, the one who can destroy both your body and soul, more than you fear men who are only able to destroy your body alone.

Because when Jesus Christ went around doing good, He only did good for those who believed in Him?

So?

Let those who you consider your enemies gain the world if it they want to, you are instead meant to put all your energy and focus on gaining the Kingdom of Heaven in the end.

He never supported nor aided any other religion for He alone is the Way, the Truth and Life. Nothing stops the pastor from giving aid to Muslims in need but not to facilitate the false religion.

So you are saying that even though fixing a dilapidated mosque, and act that may save the lives of those who worship in it, falls under the banner of "love your neighbor as you love yourself", Jesus Christ would not have done it because it would have been construed as Jesus Christ giving aid to a false religion?

So when it comes to "love your neighbor as you love your own self", you believe it is only to be applied when the support given will not be mistaken for support of false religions?

Are you saying this because Islam in involved? The pastor should as well donate to shrines, cults and witches all inthename oflove.

It is from the Tithes and offerings he builts this mosque for them but I'm very sure they won't reckon to this fact

Go and love the witches and wizards in your area and village, make sure you repair their coven as a measure of your love to them as your neighbor

I have absolutely no problem with the witches and wizards.... I dont even consider them enemies but mere neighbors. If I saw my neighbor living in or frequenting a place that needed repair, I would do all I can to help prevent my neighbor from being killed by such structures.

Now can we get back to you answering the questions I asked.

Rather help a Muslim in need than facilitate Islam.QED

To what end
