Lekki Mosque Imam speaks on why ‘Jesus Christ is not God’ banner was displayed

The chief Imam of the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos, Ridwanullah Jamiu, stated that the banner declaring “Jesus Christ is Not God” displayed on the mosque’s fence was not intended to incite any individuals.

The banner sparked widespread debate after an image of it was shared online, with numerous individuals expressing concerns that it constituted an assault on Christianity.

Addressing his congregation, Jamiu said the banner was displayed to educate Muslims.

He said, “When you come to Lekki Central Mosque, at least you should learn something. You pass by the banners outside, you look here and there, you learn something because Islam treasures knowledge.”

The Imam said all the banners displayed outside the mosque contain Quran and Hadith verses.

He said after a photo of one of the banners went viral, he “received calls from the government, local government, and area command appealing to us to please remove the banners because of the festive period.”

He said the display of the banners was not to provoke anyone, noting that there’s a difference between propagation of Islam and provocation.

“It was not placed there just yesterday. It has been there for about two months or thereabout. We are peace loving people, we don’t provoke anyone. We only propagate our name,” he said.

Jamiu further stated that nobody can monopolise Jesus because Muslims also have what they believe about him as backed by the Quran which calls him Isah.

“If you don’t believe in Jesus, you are not a Muslim. We are Muslims and anything we believe must be in consonant with the Quran and the Quran says Jesus Christ is not God, he’s a messenger of God.

“We quoted this verse in the banner.

“Is there anything wrong if we paste what we believe on our territory to educate our congregation? It’s a verse of the Quran. This is freedom of religion, freedom of speech,” he said.

On the removal of the banner, Jamiu said he received multiple calls ascribing the gesture as cowardice.

“It is not cowardice. We removed it to let peace reign, to obey our government because we are peace-loving people and also because we know it’s a festive period, people may think it was actually calculated to enrage others.

“We are going to modify it and put it back. We are not cowards,” he said.

The banner has since been replaced with another which says “Allah is the lord of Jesus.”

    On the issue of the banner stating “Jesus is not God”, imagine if the situation was reversed and a church put a similar post relating to another religion, will that church be standing now?
