Habib Shonga, formerly known as Herbert Shonga, a self-styled tycoon has today donated thousands of dollars (over Uganda Shillings 13,000,000) to a Mosque in Kampala. Shonga who split with his former wife Dorothy and got engaged to Sheilat a Muslim, converted to Islam recently.
Shonga visited the Mosque where International Promoter Suudi Lukwago prays from.
Suudi posted pictures about the event and thanked Shonga for doing more for Islam than many who had been in the religion for many years.
Suudi’s post on social media read as follows:
“Habib Shonga became a practicing Muslim a few months ago but what he has done for the religion is greater than what some will do in their lifetime.
Today, he surprised us with a special package for our Gaba mosque. He gave us a heavy envelope in dollars, (Over sh13m) and promised to paint and provide carpets for a total of 4 sister Mosques spread around the country.
Mr. Shonga and your beautiful and humble wife Sheilat, this is to express our sincere gratitude to you. What you have done is great. In Islam, It is appreciated if one feels care and compassion for one’s fellow human beings.
Several hadith refer to this deep affection and brotherhood which you just did. May Allah Grant you your wishes and give you a great marriage with Sheilat.
Whoever thought that when you split with Dorothy Shonga, you became broke is mistaken!”
