Islamabad, July 14, 2025: Recently, social media has been flooded with rumors that a Kuwaiti prince, named Prince Abdullah Al-Sabah, has converted from Islam to Christianity. The viral posts, mostly shared by Christian influencers, claim that the prince accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and is ready to face any punishment for his new belief.
The claim states that Prince Abdullah Al-Sabah left Islam and became a Christian. One post even shares a dramatic quote from him: “If they kill me because of it, then I will appear before Jesus Christ and I will be with Jesus Christ forever.”
Supporters of the claim say the prince made these remarks in a recorded audio message, adding fuel to the online buzz.
The rumor first started from a 12-year-old video, which first appeared in 2012. The man in the video appeared as a Kuwaiti Royal and was featured on a Egyptian Christian channel called Truth Network. However, it is almost certainly the man is not from the Kuwait as according to most Arabic speakers, the man’s Arabic was Egyptian.
However, after checking, there is no real proof that a royal named Abdullah Al-Sabah exists in the Kuwaiti royal family. A quick search online shows no link between this name and any official member of the royal family. This suggests the story is not true.

On a quick Google search, the name “Abdullah Al-Sabah” mostly refers to Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah, a known economist and politician. He was Kuwait’s Oil Minister (2009–2011) and became the country’s Prime Minister-designate on April 15, 2024, officially starting his role on May 15, 2024.
In addition, the picture most often shared with the claim seems to be a photo of a Muslim Kuwaiti prince named Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah. He is the founder and chairman of Action Hotels.

Though the topic is sensitive and apostasy in Kuwait can lead to serious punishment, this specific claim has no verified source or truth. The man in the video is likely not a royal, and the story lacks any current or solid evidence.
