News Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 In March, Sinead O’Connor changed her name to Magda Davitt, a name she adopted for herself to be “free of parental curses.” Now, after announcing that she’d converted to Islam, she’ll be going by a new name: Shuhada Davitt. Her display name on Twitter has changed to reflect the name change. “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim,” she wrote on October 19th. “This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam.” This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada’ — Shuhada’ Davitt (@MagdaDavitt77) October 19, 2018 Her subsequent posts have found her singing the Islamic call to prayer, the Adhan, and sharing that her best friend gifted her with her first hijab. Here is my 1st attempt at singing the Azan. I got some pronouncition wrong because emotions took me from my page… but there’ll be hundreds of others onstage to come … https://t.co/vDFyheqOOc — Shuhada’ Davitt (@MagdaDavitt77) October 19, 2018 My best friend, Elaine just gave me my 1st Hijab and she got chills all over her body when I put it on. Not gonna post a photo because is intensely personal. And I’m an ugly old hag. But I’m a very, very, very happy old hag. — Shuhada’ Davitt (@MagdaDavitt77) October 20, 2018 pic.twitter.com/uFCtfzulel — Shuhada’ Davitt (@MagdaDavitt77) October 20, 2018 Davitt shared a new song, “Milestones”, in August, when she also announced she was working on a new album, No Mud No Lotus, due for release in 2019.
