CHRISTCHURCH – In a viral video, a youngster asked New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to embrace Islam.
“To be honest with you, what brought me here it’s you. I have been crying every day for the last three days. I have been making one Dua from Allah and I said I wish other leaders can look at your leadership skills. And my other one wish is I hope one day you enter into Islam and I wish I will be with you in Jannah,” he says. To that, Ardern replies that Islam taught humanity and she felt she had it. Caravan Daily can not vouch for the authenticity of the video.
