"THE WORLD'S GREATEST" HAS GONE TO REST




Muhammad Ali was not only revered for being one of the greatest boxers in history but also for the man he was. He had his beliefs and staunchly stuck to them, despite what it would cost him; he overcame various obstacles and even long after his retirement and stricken by Parkinson's Disease later, he was still regarded as "The World's Greatest."




The world has lost a true legend and we are all very sad. But we must remember him at his very best; his magnificent boxing skills and flamboyant style, social activism,  devotion to Islam and his major influence on important personalities, and the next generation of boxers. Despite his illness, he remained active; showing the world he was still strong at heart. And the world will never forget him.

Brother Muhammad Ali, you are now finally well and free. Everything you overcame, struggled for and gained all the years you were on earth, was by the grace of God. And now, He has called you home. We already miss you very much but we know you are in a much better place now. 

 May Allah grant you Al Jannah Firdaus. 
Rest in perfect peace.
