Muslim Man Converts After Attacking a Christian Church in the Central African Republic
ICC Note:
On March 16 on this year, a ‘warrior angel’ saved a Central African Republic church during an attack by Muslim extremists as reported by Christian Post and posted by ICC earlier this month. Ibn Yakoobi was among the extremists who attacked worshipers at an Assembly of Loving God church. During the attack, he tried to kill the pastor, Musthafa, with his sword. However, Yakoobi witnessed a miracle – an angel allegedly pulled Musthafa to safety. Although Yakoobi was a devout Muslim, he and others couldn’t deny the supernatural events that occurred. After witnessing this miracle, Yakoobi’s anger towards the Christian grew more fervently until Jesus revealed himself in a dream, converting the previously devout Muslim.

In a report published to its website on Monday, the organization explained that Yakoobi even tried to kill the congregation’s pastor, Musthafa, with his sword. However, the organization claims that Yakoobi witnessed a miracle, as an angel allegedly pulled Musthafa to safety.
Also according to the report, worshiping Christians were kept dry by a miraculous cloud while rain and hailstones fell on the persecutors after the roof of the church had been destroyed.
Although Yakoobi was a devout Muslim, he and others couldn’t deny the supernatural events that had occurred that day.
“While Yakoobi remained full of questions, many in the neighborhood were softening in their attitudes towards Pastor Musthafa and the assembly, all former Muslims. Some, mostly women from neighboring houses, had begun joining them for their prayer services over the next two days,” the report reads. “But the Imam of the mosque and other religious leaders became only angrier with the new developments.
On Friday, the local imam told the worshipers at his mosque that they were forbidden from believing the Christians and attending their prayer meetings. The imam reasoned that the Christians were no better than the black magicians and their magic destroyed by Moses.
