This thesis sought to analyze the challenges facing Somali Muslim Background Believers and their role in Christian-Muslim relations in Eastliegh of Kamukunji Sub County in Nairobi. The central purpose of the study investigated the root causes of the challenge facing Somali Muslim Background Believers from their former Islamic faith and the treatment of suspicions in their new home, the Christian Church, and find out opportunities in fostering Christian-Muslim relations. The study found out that Christians and Muslims were historically known for competing for converts and converts from one religion to another would be treated with rejection from their former faith and suspicion with their new home. Muslims should be discouraged from rejecting Somali Muslim Background Believers and concentrate on preaching from their own book to win converts. The Christian community, the new home of Somali Muslim Background Believers, should be discouraged from treating Somali Muslim Background Believers with suspicion and welcome them as brothers and sisters in Lord, helping them to foster Christian-Muslim relations
