KUWAITI Prince, Abdullah Al-Sabah Converts Into CHRISTIANITY “”if they kill me because of it, then I will appear before Jesus Christ”
In an audio file posted on a Christian satellite TV channel, prince Abdullah al-Sabah declared his faith in Jesus Christ. Muslims have attacked him saying “he isn’t a member of the royal family”.
According to reports, a Kuwaiti royal prince has become a follower of Jesus Christ. In an audio file posted with his name, he affirms that if he is killed because of a recording he made where he talks about his conversion, he firmly believes that he will meet Jesus Christ face-to-face. The news comes from Middle Eastern sources which state that al-Haqiqa – a Christian satellite TV channel in Arabic that transmits Christian religious programmes – broadcast an audio file attributed to the Kuwaiti prince, identified as Abdullah al-Sabah. The al-Sabahs are the royal family of Kuwait, a country rich in oil. The name Abdullah (servant of God) frequently appears in the Emir’s family tree.
In his audio file, Abdullah declared: “First of all, I fully agree with the distribution of this audio file and I now declare that if they kill me because of it, then I will appear before Jesus Christ and be with him for all eternity.” In this statement, the prince demonstrates his awareness of the fate in store for a martyr of the faith, according to Christian doctrine. The television channel stated that Abdullah is a member of the royal family, and that he recently renounced his faith in Islam and became a Christian, without specifying which particular branch of Christianity he had chosen. After stating his full name, the prince declared: “I will accept whatever they do to me, because the truth in the Bible has guided me towards the right path.”
In the audio file, Abdullah talks about the Islamic groups that are winning the elections in Egypt and declares: “Islamic communities have always wanted to attack in different parts of the world but God has preserved the world and still protects it. This is why we have recently seen disagreements appearing among Islamic groups who are now fighting with each other. They are about to divide further into different groups.”
Mohabat News, a Christian Iranian website which has been following the fate of Christian minorities in the Middle East closely and which has monitored Abdullah’s statement, confirms that this news was published briefly by Arabic news agencies and also by the Iranian state news agency. Some independent websites with Shiite leanings denied the reports and quoted another Kuwaiti prince, Azbi al-Sabah, who said: “There’s no one by that name in the Kuwaiti royal family.” In actual fact, the name Abdullah does not appear on the list of the 15 members of the royal family who rule this small, extremely wealthy country in different capacities: from the Sheikh down to Princess Nijirah al-Sabah, who testified in the US Congress under the assumed name of “Nurse Nayirah” on the humanitarian situation in the country after the invasion by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and just before the Gulf War. That isn’t to say that this high-profile convert is not hidden somewhere within the extended family, under a different name.
In Kuwait the overwhelming majority of the population is Muslim (only 4% is Christian) and the country’s Constitution states: “Islam is the official religion of the country and Sharia is the main source for legislation.”
As is well known, the problem of conversions from Islam to other religions is a recurring problem in relationships between followers of the Prophet and other faiths and it is a very serious problem in all countries where the majority of the population is Muslim, even those that at first sight would seem socially progressive. The problem has always been there, but in the last few years the majority religion has become more sensitive in towards the increased evangelical activity being carried out, not so much by “traditional” Christian religions who have always been used to the insurmountable limits of living alongside Muslims, but rather by Protestant faiths.
These seem to be enjoying enormous success – not just in Kuwait; it’s likely that the mysterious prince could be one of their followers – but also in countries that are definitely more mistrustful, such as the theocratic Iran of the ayatollahs.
After Heidar Moslehi, the Iranian intelligence minister, asked Muslim seminaries to become proactive in stopping the spread of Christianity, a high-ranking cleric declared that Evangelical Christianity is the most horrifying intelligence and security organisation in the world. This statement seems to have appeared on press agencies close to the Revolutionary Guard.
In a conference on “New Age cults” held in Varamin, a district south of Teheran, Akhond Mohsen Alizadeh declared: “We should not allow these cults to question Islamic jurisprudence under the cover of mysticism.” He went on to add: “They tell the youth that God is wrathful and horrible in Islam but is love in Christianity. Also, Christian preachers answer the questions and doubts of youth in their own interest and try to attract them.” Nevertheless a whole series of signs seem to indicate that non-traditional Christianity – there are Catholics and Orthodox Christians in Iran as well as a large Armenian community – is spreading. The regime’s press recently spoke of them with concern and the number of cases of repression and condemnation following conversions is growing.

The problem with muslims and their religion is that they only want to convert Christians into Islam but they do not want muslims to be converted into Christianity for which they even mercilessly kill. I have no trust in muslims and their so called prophet. You are welcome Prince Abdullah al-Sabah to the only true light, Jesus Christ, son of the living God.

Such are lies God in Islam is said to be merciful and beneficent and every chapter of the Quran except one begins with the opening in the name of God the most merciful the most beneficent. Christians and Jews are not deemed as disbelivers rather as the pipo of the book and considered our brothers what individuals do in the name of Islam is their own madness just as we have some christians who are doing crazy things let a man choose his destiny I am a proud muslim and yet know so much about christianity

The king of kuwait Al-Sabah has realised that muslims are extremely violent and i wonder if that’s what their qoran & prophet muhammed tells them to do. Look at how the islamic sect called Boko Haram has caused alot of deadly killings to our defenceless christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria by this heartles group of people.Boko Haram(no western education)as you call yourselves stop this devilish act. Meanwhile we welcome the king of kuwait with both hands to our christian faith. Muslims we like you , but stop your evil and violent acts.You are the only religion which is violent and we tired of you.

Animal, plant and all creation know who their master is, but this is much more than what these people oppossing should know that Jesus Christ is Lord.Our brother has truely answered the words in the book of Revelation which says that Remember where you have fallen.Truely he has been given the opportunity to choose between what is right from wrong by acknowleging that Jesus is Lord of all creation including his very own brothers who still live in the dark by thinking Mohammed is the greatest.
Oh glory be to God the almighty, he will truely guide his faithful ones through trials and tribulations of this world.
Blessings and Honour be to God forever and ever amen.

This guy also has to change his name since Abdullah means ‘Servant of Allah’.
Jesus is mentioned in the Holy Quran 25 times as compared to Prophet Muhammad only 5 times.
For example:
“..WE GAVE JESUS THE SON OF MARY CLEAR SIGNS AND STRENGTHENED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT”
HOLY QURAN 2:87
“..O MARY! GOD GIVETH THEE GLAD TIDINGS OF A WORD FROM HIM: HIS NAME WILL BE CHRIST JESUS, THE SON OF MARY..”
HOLY QURAN 3:45
“..CHRIST JESUS THE SON OF MARY WAS (NO MORE THAN) AN APOSTLE OF GOD..”
HOLY QURAN 4:171
“..AND IN THEIR (the previous Prophets’) FOOTSTEPS WE SENT JESUS THE SON OF MARY..”
HOLY QURAN 5:49
“AND ZAKARIYA AND JOHN, AND JESUS AND ELIAS: ALL IN THE RANKS OF THE RIGHTEOUS:”
HOLY QURAN 6:85

if this is really true true thi misguided brother shud change his name to “abd li masih”.one thing he shud nt 4get is that even christianity prescribes killing for apostasy.ruling on apostasy is that the apostate is sentenced to death is not only restricted to Islam but to all the major religions : Islam , Christianity and Jews. Here is what the Bible says about the issue: Deuteronomy Chapter 13( King James Version) 1) If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,( 2 )And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; (3 )Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (4) Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. (5) And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.am a muslim

May the Lord Jesus Christ richly bless the prince & all others who wil take a similar step.

Come out of the darkness and come onto the light. Jesus loves you, He is the true light, the way and the life. As the prince took the step of faith today, i can assure you heaven has recorded his name in the book of life, and has escaped the eternal condemnation of the hell fire. My advice to you Prince – be strong, continue in the new way and God shall surely see you true. IJN

The canon of saints contains several converts who retained their pagan theophonic names. Bishop Mercury didn’t change his name until he was elected Pope. Whether he takes a new name on Earth or not makes no difference; Jesus will give him a new name in Heaven, just as he has promised all of his faithful ones a new name better than offspring.

sibbaweh mohammad you are quoting the bible wrongly and out of context. What you are reading in Deuteronomy is the Law but Chritians, including the Prince are no longer under the Law but under grace. No one is allowed to take some body’s life in Christianity no matter how much agrieved you are with them. Romans 8 vs 1-2 says ‘There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.SO YOU CAN NOT CONDEMN THE PRINCE, HE IS NOW FREE AND NO WEAPON FASHIONED AGAINST HIM WILL PROSPER, EVERY TONGUE THAT WILL BE RAISED AGAINST HIM SHALL BE REFUTED AND CONDEMNED-ISAIAH 54 VS 17

Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

God has spoken through the prophets for centuries about the coming of his son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the promise, and the word made flesh
Gods Commandments is, “Thou shall not Kill” so in what name are people being killed…
Let us not judge so as not to be judged.
Punishment will come from God for the wrong that we do, why does anyone have to quote Gods words and pass judgment, We have no authority to do so.
All of Jesus’s teachings were on Humility Love and Peace.
Love your neighbor as yourself, this will bring peace among us all
Every knee shall bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Amen
I am a Christian and I am blessed to be one Thank You Jesus for considering me to be a part of you
