You Can’t Be Muslim And Christian At The Same Time – Sheikh Raji Gbadebo To K1 De Ultimate

Popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Sharafudeen Raji Gbadebo, has waded into the ongoing debate about religious identity, making it clear that it is not possible for a person to be both a Christian and a Muslim.
Sheikh Gbadebo, who heads the Al-Madeenah Islamic Center in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, made this statement after Fuji music icon, K1 De Ultimate, made some comments during a viral interview.
K1 De Ultimate, whose real name is Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, had boldly identified himself as a proud and full member of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC). He even shared that he had built a parish for the church, stressing how strong his relationship with God is:
“I am a proud and true member of the Celestial Church. I even went as far as building a parish. My bond with God is very deep. I seek Him everywhere I go,” K1 said.
In reaction, a video of Sheikh Gbadebo speaking on the matter began circulating online. The cleric, speaking openly, explained that Islam and Christianity are completely different religions, and trying to combine both automatically makes a person a non-believer (Kaafir) according to Islamic teachings.
In his words:
“Someone who attends Christian vigils and still observes solah (Muslim prayers) at the mosque — let the person know he is a Kaafir (unbeliever). Islam does not permit someone to be a Muslim and a Christian at the same time. You cannot claim Islam and at the same time hold onto another religion.”
Sheikh Gbadebo also expressed concern about the growing religious confusion among the Yoruba people, warning that mixing different religious beliefs only leads people astray from the true path of Islam.
His comments have triggered wide discussions online, adding more fuel to the already heated conversation around faith and religious identity in Nigeria’s diverse society.
