MUHAMMED ALİ CLAY

Muhammed Ali would go on a boxing match three years after he became a Muslim. A boxer named Ernie Terrel, who could not digest her to be a Muslim, addressed Mohammed Ali as his former name Cassius Clay at the time the duo was interviewed. This situation made Muhammed Ali very angry, and they almost got into a fight while giving a double interview. Muhammed Ali was going to teach Ernie Terrel such a lesson that he would meet in the ring in the following days that a movement that would set an example for all Muslims of the world would emerge. The day had come and both boxers had been in the ring. Muhammed Ali was putting punches one after another against his opponent Ernie Terrel; He was playing in the ring with Terrel like a tiger playing with his prey. “What’s my name?” what is my name? The word he wanted to hear from him would be “Muhammad Ali”. He did not knock out his opponent on purpose. Because Terrel did not say what he wanted to hear. Muhammed Ali got angry with each round: “What’s my name stupid?” What is my name stupid? she shouted. Terrel was proud and did not address Muhammad Ali with his new name despite the beating he ate. The price of this mistake was paid by the beating of Muhammad Ali throughout the rounds. Terrel’s eyebrows burst; His face was swollen, unrecognizable. As for the last rounds, Terrel could not stand and replied “Muhammed Ali”. Thus, Mohammed Ali proved to all humanity how much he attached importance to the two names he loved the most. His Muslimity consisted of firm faith and absolute surrender, not a temporary enthusiasm. Mohammed Ali, who was imprisoned after being a Muslim, who was forbidden to box and was insulted, was tried to be paid the price of being a Muslim. Muhammad Ali, who did not resist any pressure and torture, turned into a great personality and legend by leading Muslims and oppressed blacks in America. Mohammed Ali, who is also interested in the problems of all world Muslims, became a supporter and follower of all Muslims from Bosnia to Chechnya, Africa to India, France to America.

Such a legend came from this world and passed. Rest in peace !
