With difficulty and persistence, a Nigerian blogger who recently converted to Islam tried to read Surat Al-Asr in a video clip from in front of the Grand Mosque in Makkah Al-Mukarramah.
Joseph, who chose the name Ibrahim after converting to Islam, insisted on reading the surah many times, despite his stuttering. And the young man appeared in another clip while he was trying to read the short surah and wrote on it “I try juicing again”.
Ibrahim devoted his account on the Instagram site to clips that he filmed from Saudi Arabia, especially from the Grand Mosque and the Noble Prophet’s Mosque. This is according to Al Jazeera Mubasher.
In these clips, Abraham appears performing prayers or circumambulating the Holy Kaaba. The young blogger has 471,000 followers on this account, and he has one million followers on TikTok.

In 2021, Joseph announced that he had converted to Islam, and said that he had always been interested in learning more about the Islamic religion, that he had studied it for a long time, and then decided to crown this journey by embracing him.
Ibrahim was widely acclaimed by his Muslim followers, and the content he provided took a different path since his conversion to Islam, as he began publishing verses from the Holy Qur’an, hadith, and Islamic teachings.
Ibrahim decided to use his platform to advocate for Islamic principles, morals and beliefs, such as generosity, mercy and brotherhood in society, and to dispel the lies and misunderstandings that promote Islam.
