We were all caught by surprise when Jamal Gaddafi announced that Tanasha Donna is now a Muslim and she will be called, Aisha.
This news came during the holy month of Ramadhan where she spent some days giving back to society by donating food to a children’s home in Eastleigh.
In an interview with Jalang’o, he asked her why she made the decision to convert to Islam yet she was born and raised in a Christian home.
“Why did you convert to Islam was it for Diamond or a personal decision?” He asked
To which she responded saying,
All these roles played a role but the majority reason it was a personal decision. I am a very spiritual person and I like to explore my spirituality. I do not like being closed in a box I like thinking outside the box.
So whenever I explore my spirituality the question on religion comes in. But I feel like there is really not much of a difference between Islam and Christianity it is just that Islam is more detailed but it is the same story different religion and we all serve the same God. We focus so much on religion when we should be focusing on the One we serve. It was a personal decision and I do not regret it because Islam is a detailed version of Christianity.
Diamond mentioned in an interview about a month ago that he wanted to marry a Muslim and so Rekado Momo played a huge role in convincing Tanasha to convert.
Is Jamal Gaddafi replacing Diamond? Tanasha reveals their relationships status
“It is true. When we were in Kigoma she changed her religion and became Muslim. And for that, I thank God and Rekado Momo who really stood in the gap of this conversation. He always tried to convince her and teach her on the Islam religion and even more I would want to be married to a Muslim so it was a win-win.
So slowly, Tanasha started saying she loves the religion and she wanted to convert and I asked her if she is sure and even told her to think about it first and she said she was sure and she converted.” He shared
Sadly they did not make to the marriage part but they seem to have moved on.
