JJC Skillz recalled how he was beaten at the time, which made him never practice Islam.

JJC Skillz shared his religious journey on Instagram as he confirmed he has now returned to Islam, his father’s religion.

JJC Skillz was originally born in Islam but chose to practice his mother’s religion, Christianity. Explaining his choice of returning to Islam, JJC Skillz said he was once lost but now he is found.

His post read: “I was lost but now I’m found O Allah, I ask You for Your pardon and well-being in this life and the next. O Allah, I ask You for well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, and my family and my wealth.

“O Allah, veil my weaknesses and set at ease my dismay, and preserve me from the front and behind and on my right and my left and from above, and I take refuge with You lest I be swallowed up by the earth.”

Speaking further on his religious practice, the award-winning rapper and music entrepreneur told Muslims News during an interview recently that it was a design of God that he would embrace Islam.

He said: “I was born a Muslim – AbdurRasheed by name. My dad, Bello is a Muslim but my mum is a Christian. Back then I used to go Islamiyah but all I remembered about it was getting beaten. They used to scare us with hellfire so, I never practised.

“It’s God’s design that I will return to Islam. I thank Allah for sparing my life. I am so happy I found Islam again because it has given me peace. It has given me direction and focus. I was truly lost but now, I am found.”
