Lying Wonders: Baby Boy Born In Nigeria ‘Clutching A Copy Of The Holy Quran’ Hailed A ‘Miracle’ By Imams And Islamic Scholars

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.”

For those who may not know, the name of Satan is “heylel” in Hebrew (Isaiah 14:12, “Lucifer”). The Arabic equivalent is the word “hilal”, which means “crescent moon” …

“OLALEKAN OLABULO reports on the baby boy, who at childbirth in Lagos a few days ago was found clutching a copy of [the] Holy Quran.

The most talked about issue in Lagos and Ogun states in the last one week, is the birth of a baby, who was said to be clutching a miniature Quran, in his hand, at the time of his birth.

The birth of the baby, who was later christened Abdul Wahab Iyanda Irawo, has generated serious argument and discussions from Muslims and Christians alike…

The 32, Shonde Street, Ijeshatedo home of the 32-year-old mother of the baby, became a Mecca of sorts. People from different backgrounds stormed the house to catch a glimpse of the new born baby whose fame had spread to the east, west, north and South of Lagos and Ogun states. Residents of the two-storey building were forced to accommodate the large crowd, who daily besieged the house.

The new baby became an instant commercial merchandise as his photo instantly found its way into calendars, soft sell magazines and tabloid. He became a reference point for Islamic scholars during homily. Millions of naira have exchanged hands since the birth of Abdul Wahab Irawo, as people also gave out money as gifts to his mother and other needy people in the spirit of rejoicing on the birth of the boy.

Residents and workers around Ijeshatedo had since the birth of the new baby listened to more Allahu Akbar than they might have done, probably in the last few years. Every new person that visited the new baby kept shouting Allahu Akbar, apparently to glorify God.

The mother of the baby, Kikelomo Ilori, had confessed to have tried to abort the baby, despite several warnings from the church. Kikelomo was until the birth of the baby, a Christian and the young baby was born at a Cherubim and Seraphim church. This has also created serious arguments on religious superiority.

Kikelomo, while speaking on the birth of Abdul Wahab, stated that a friend of hers, Kehinde Ogunlana, took her to the church after the baby refused to come, when the pregnancy was due. It was after she had spent many days at the church that she finally delivered a baby boy, whom many are now describing as a miracle baby…

Imams and Islamic scholars from different Islamic organisations and foreign missions, all paid their respect to what they described as ‘miracle of [Allah].'” Read more.
