Islamic blogger explains why he converted to Christianity
British TikToker Kieos from Birmingham, who had an audience of more than 100,000 followers, left Islam after seeing Jesus in dreams three nights in a row.
British TikToker Kieos from Birmingham, who for several years defended Islam before an audience of more than 100,000 followers, has publicly announced his conversion to Christianity. He spoke about this in an exclusive interview with Britannia Daily.
The turning point in the blogger’s spiritual search was a vision: in his own words, he “saw Jesus in dreams three nights in a row.”
“Honestly, I still haven’t made real sense out of it. I never have dreams,” he said. “People could argue that if I were looking at images of Jesus, they could be brought forward in my subconscious whilst sleeping. But I never did, which makes it strange.”
This experience prompted Kieos to study Christianity in depth. Before that, he had converted to Islam on his own at the age of 25 – through social media and religious literature – and built a large following on TikTok. Over time, he accumulated questions about a number of hadiths and Quranic verses, but said he never received satisfactory answers from Muslim scholars. He began to perceive the faith as a “system of obligations” rather than a genuine connection with God.
“My relationship with God started just feeling like a checklist, kind of like a point system instead of that relationship. I was so focused on trying to get perfect with what I’m doing instead of getting to know God,” he said.
His public statement about changing his faith sparked a sharp reaction: about 80% of Kieos’ Muslim followers reacted negatively, some of them with death threats. Among his non-Muslim audience, by contrast, support was around 90%. The blogger noted that only three Muslim friends maintained their relationship with him despite his decision.
As the UOJ reported, the daughter of one of the Hamas leaders also publicly spoke about her conversion to Christianity. Cases of conversion from Islam to Christianity in Western countries are often accompanied by social pressure and threats against new converts from their former co-religionists.
