Famed Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, best known hit version of Nothing Compares 2 U, has converted to Islam and changed her name to Shuhada, reported CNN.
The singer made the announcement via Twitter stating, “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant.”
Irish Imam, Shaykh Dr Umar al-Qadri, also posted a video of Shuhada sharing her Islamic name.
She also stated how she was ecstatic at receiving her first Hijab as a girl.
Shuhada, who recently had changed her name to Magda Davitt also posted her Islamic declaration of faith on Twitter.
The former singer’s decision to convert to Islam has been met by approval and congratulatory messages have been pouring in for her from Muslims around the world.
