My Journey 2 Islam >>> Mike Tyson
Those whom Allah (in His Plan) willeth to guide He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying He maketh their breast close and constricted as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe. {Al An’am (06:125}
When Allah wishes, He does it. Seek Guidance from Allah. Verily from Allah we came we will return one day.
Please seek forgiveness from Allah and repent your sins as the Final hour of your life is coming closer.
MIKE TYSON’S SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
MADINA – Former US heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who is on a visit to the Kingdom to perform Umrah, Sunday prayed at the Quba’ and Qiblatain mosques.
He also visited the Islamic University and met the university’s president, Dr. Muhammad Al-Oqla, and American nationals studying there.
Tyson was mobbed whereever he went. Large numbers of fans gathered around the hotel where he is staying near the Prophet’s Mosque. Some people waited for hours just to see him and take his pictures.
Tyson had to scurry toward the Prophet’s Mosque for Dhuhr prayers as fans gathered around him in large numbers. He used the Shimagh of one of his companions to cover his head but the fans recognized him and followed him.
“I am happy that I have fans who love me here in the Kingdom, but I hope they leave me alone to enjoy my spiritual moments at the Holy Sites,” he said.
“I couldn’t resist shedding tears when I came to know that I was in one of the gardens of paradise,” Tyson said referring to Arrawda in the Prophet’s Mosque.
Tyson was accompanied by Shahzad Muhammad, head of the Canadian Dawah Association, which organized his visit to Saudi Arabia .
“Tyson became emotional when offering Salam to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),”
“He remained in front of the Rawdah for hours praying, reciting the Qur’an and making supplications,” Shahzad said.
Later Mike Tyson went to the Meqat to change into Ihram for Umrah. - Okaz/SG
