Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has explained how he convinced his wife, Priscilla Ojo, to accept Islam before their wedding.
In a recent interview with Afrikmedia, Juma Jux reflected on the challenges of supporting Priscilla, daughter of Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo, through a significant religious transformation.
Juma Jux credited his success in guiding Priscilla to the patience and support he received from Islamic scholars and mentors.
He emphasised the importance of a gentle approach, noting that he was advised to engage Priscilla in thoughtful discussions about Islam rather than rushing her into conversion.
The singer further revealed that it took time and effort to help Priscilla understand and accept the faith.
