Chrislam is a Christian expression of Islam, originating as an assemblage of Christian and Islamic religious practices in Nigeria; in particular, the series of religious movements that merged Christian and Muslim religious practice during the 1970s in Lagos, Nigeria.[1] The movement was pioneered by the Yoruba people in south-west Nigeria.[1] Chrislam works against the conventional understanding of Christianity and Islam as two separate and exclusive religions, seeking out commonalities between both religions and promoting an inclusive union of the two.[1] Chrislam also occupies a distinct geographical space; Nigeria is often understood to be geographically and religiously polarized, with a predominantly Muslim North, and a predominantly Christian South.
The first dated Chrislam movement is traced to a Yoruba man named Tela Tella.[1] Tella was originally a Muslim prior to his career as a Chrislam preacher. Ifeoluwa is translated from Yoruba to mean "The Love of God Mission," which Tella uses to refer to his Chrislam mission. Similar to Islam, Ifeoluwa is based on 5 pillars: "love," "mercy," "joy," "good deeds," and "truth."[1]
The Ifeoluwa creed reads:
The God of Jesus is One
The God of Muhammad is One
Humanity is One
