Question
Recently a Muslim youngster from the U.K shot to fame in the boxing arena. After his recent fight he said: "I firstly owe my gratitude and success to Allah as all is in Allah's Hands". He says he owes all thanks to Allah but he is clean shaven. He takes pictures and posts them on social media like facebook and twitter etc, He recently spent a whopping one million dollars for his wedding ceremony in New York at the Waldorf Astoria (a very expensive Hotel). He holds hands with female fans while snapping pictures. The boxing events he is part of are all sponsored by Haraam Liquor outfits, yet he has the audacity to say that he is a role model for Muslim children in the 21st century and owes his huge winnings and success to Allah. People are now confused when we tell them that all sport is Haraam. Some molvis say that Allah has granted him success because he prays his Salaah. They say Allah aids a Muslim in all affairs so who are we to interfere. They give the example of Muhammed Ali and how great Allah made him in the sport of boxing. Obviously the chap is misguided and some molvis on this side have fanned his ego more by making dua for him. What does the Shariah say about this?
Answer
The misguidance of the boxer is not surprising. After all, he is a confirmed jaahil, faasiq, faajir. What is lamentable is the misguidance and jahl-e-murakkab (compound ignorance) of some molvis who disgorge absolute rubbish. From their mouths do they excrete rijs. About them, the Qur'aan Majeed says: "Thus, does Allah cast rijs (filth) on those who have no Aql (intelligence)." They are appallingly stupid, hence they speak kufr gibberish.
There was nothing great in Cassius Clay. The name 'Muhammad Ali' is a misnomer. This chap was/is (we don't know if he is still alive) a member of the 'Black Muslim' religion. He believed that AllahTa'ala is incarnate in the kaafir, Elijah who was their 'last prophet'. They have some very bizarre kufr beliefs. His hallucinated 'greatness' was reduced to humiliation when he lay sprawled, knocked out, by another kaafir.
This youngster is another buffoon who does not know what he is talking. There are 'greater' kuffaar boxers than him, and there are 'greater' kuffaar sportsmen and 'greater' kuffaar prostitutes, and 'greater' kuffaar in all spheres of life. Their 'greatness' may not be misconstrued and regarded as Allah's Pleasure, and that they are on the path of rectitude. The jaahil is undoubtedly 'great' – great by shaitaan.
It is indeed lamentable that Muslims are thrown into confusion by a stupid display of satanism. This testifies to their jahaalat. They are ignorant of the basics of Imaan and the basics of the Shariah, hence they are cast into confusion by any moron displaying some prowess in a field which is great to the kuffaar.
