NAIROBI, Kenya — A Muslim who put his faith in Christ after receiving a vision in a mosque in Uganda was hospitalized after relatives beat him, demolished his home and abducted his wife and six children, sources said.
Wambuzi Maka Uthman, a 39-year-old former sheikh (Islamic teacher), went to Friday prayers in Mayuge town council, Mayuge District in eastern Uganda on Aug. 1 as usual, then went to sleep in a corner of the mosque, he said.
“There I saw a man dressed in white, long clothing surround by four angels — the man called me by my name, ‘Uthman, Uthman, Uthman,’ three times,” Uthman told Morning Star News. “I was so frightened as I drew near to him, knelt down and worshiped Him. Thereafter He told me to go to my people and to tell them to repent and turn to the living God.”
As he returned home at about 5 p.m., he met a pastor from Elim Church, he said.
“I shared with him the strange message that I received of repentance,” Uthman said. “He took me to his church and shared the vision that I had. I then understood that it was Issa [Jesus] who had sent me to my fellow Muslims to repent.”
