MIKE TYSON’S SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
By Majed Al-Suqairi


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),” said Shahzad.

“He cried for more than half an hour while standing in front of the Prophet’s grave, raising his hands.”

“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.

Correct yourself before criticizing others . He's a Muslim , and he has a right to do what ever he wants , even if that is haram , he's doing zulm on his own self .

Don't ALWAYS CRITICIZE OTHERS .

Some Tattoos are permanent you can't get rid of them. They might be the one he had em before converting.

Islam Means Submission to your wills to Allah, You can't do whatever you want , you only do what Allah wants from You..

O believers enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of Shaitan, surely he is your clear-cut
enemy.
If you falter after receiving the clear-cut message, then keep in mind that Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Are they waiting for Allah to come down to them in the shadow of clouds, along with the angels, and make His
decision known? Ultimately all matters will be presented to Allah for decision. (Surah Al-Baqara, Ayah 208-210)

Point is , He's a new Muslim , he wants to stick with TATOOS , its his and Allah's Masla .What if they were permanent and he could not get rid of those ?

I agree with you, bro on this , I never critisized why he has performing hajj while having a tatto, but i disagree with this point "

he has a right to do what ever he wants" .

P.S I may be most sinful muslim on the face of earth.but that' doesn't mean that I got Right to Do Whatever I want.
Because we don't have such right.
Jazakallah
