“A number of stars of the French football league and other countries who converted to Islam during the current season and last season are in this country to perform Umrah.”
Some Saudi newspapers have also written about the words of these players. They have visited many holy places in the world. But the spirituality that they saw in Mecca and Medina, they did not find in any shrine or court.
“Jacques Vati”, a Senegalese player of French origin and the “Suzhou” football team of this country, who has won the championship with the French national youth team in the World Championships, said that this is the third time he has come to Mecca; However, on the previous two occasions, he traveled to this country only to participate in a football game with his club teams and did not know Islam.
He continued: But now that he has come to visit the holy places of this country, he has just realized that the spirituality and spirituality he was looking for should be sought in Islam and in its holy shrine. He has now changed his name to “Dawood”.
On the other hand, Omar Duff, the captain of the Senegal national team in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan and the current striker of the French “Brest” team, has also said that after becoming a Muslim, his outlook on life has completely changed and the successes that he always had throughout his life He waits for them, he has earned them.
Among these players, “Frederick Doubles” is also present, who, according to himself, converted to Islam two years ago, but this year he was able to perform Hajj. He said that he owes the comfort of his soul and soul to being in Masjid al-Haram and being alone with his God.
During the last two seasons, 17 players from different European leagues have converted to Islam, among them are “Juventus” French forward “David Trezeguet”, “Chelsea” striker “Nicola Anelka” and “Shah Mohra” Franck Ribery. “Bayern Munich” are present, who have traveled to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah.
