Qudus Ewe, the young Islamic cleric from Saki, Oyo State, who recently brought ‘Osanyin’ to controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, now claims to be a Prophet of God.
In a viral clip on Sunday, March 9, Qudus Ewe boldly claimed to be greater than Prophet Musa, a revered prophet and the most frequently mentioned figure in the Holy Quran.
Prophet Musa is believed to have lived in the 14th or 13th century BCE.
Qudus said; “I am superior to Prophet Musa. I swear to God. I am a prophet. I am a prophet of Allah (God). Prophet Musa is not on my level. “I saw God face to face. This is not about boasting; and I know that not many people would believe what I am saying.”
He added: “I am more than the status of an ‘Alfa’ now. I am more than being a Sheikh. I am a prophet of God. It is God who called me His prophet.”
“Prophet Musa only heard God, but he didn’t see God. But I see and hear God. I am a prophet of God; I swear with the Quran. I swear with the day it will remain only me in the grave; I swear with my soul that I am a messenger/prophet of God.”
Qudus’ claim is considered sacrilegious in Islam, as the faith holds that Prophet Muhammad is the final prophet and messenger of God. According to Islamic belief, prophethood ended with him, making it impossible for any new prophet to emerge.
Recall that in January, Qudus, from Saki town in Oyo state, was spotted in Iyana-Ilogbo area of Ogun state with ‘Oseyin’, a Yoruba deity, offering prayers for singer Portable.
there are also claims that he practices a mix of Islamic and traditional beliefs, which has sparked controversy among religious circles.
An upset Ilorin, Kwara state-cleric, Sanusi Lafiagi, posted the new controversial clip on his known Facebook page and wrote:
“This mumu here has been misled by an evil Jinn. He saw one of Shaytān’s chief lieutenants and thought he saw Allah. He should be found and debated before he ruins some gullible people’s lives with his wicked lies.May Allāh protect us.”
