Founder of Islam Got Talent Foundation (IGTF) and Association of Nigeria Islamic Music Scholars (ANIMS) , on Friday, asked talented Muslims to step on the “hatred” conjured by some Muslims to eradicate arts in Islam.
Ifeleye, in his statement , condemned the longtime ambiguity relating to Music or arts in Islam especially in Nigeria.
The first OAP to broadcast Islamic music on media urged all talented Muslims affected by this criticism, concerned professional associations and leaders of religious sects to do the needful to help talented Muslims use their talent for the propagation of Islam.
IFELEYE said, “My fear is people with good heart (like you) ain't doing anything about it either. Talented Muslims like me seemed trapped in the middle of nowhere and almost going to lose it sooner than later. It's now 3years and one month that my team and I have began this journey trying to speak for voiceless but talented Muslims in our society
“We began broadcast majorly on Islamic Music on media while others were suggesting we should do something else since no support is coming from anywhere. We declined this suggestion and went ahead to organize awards for our Muslim artists, Organize conferences, career talk, online and physical trainings, competitions and more……But, yield nothing or little.
The inventor of Nigeria’s first Islamize competition further said that “Islam is the origin of artistic civilization which includes music and I can prove it to the world! So why this hatred? By now, we are taking this one more step to announce to the world that enough is enough!
“Let these haters divert their hate for Islamize Musicians towards people terrorizing, misleading or confusing Muslims using Islam as a shield. Leave Islamize Musicians alone or support them to do right things with their talent.
