The following incident took place when Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were not modest. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:

When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them."

He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too." Source: Taken from the book: More Than A Hero: Muhammad Ali's Life Lessons Through His Daughter's Eyes.

No, bro. this Muhammad Ali Clay the boxer. I would like to share one more thing about him that i have heard long a ago, not sure if it is true. That he carries a match box or lighter in his pocket all the time. Once someone asked him why do you carry this while you don't smoke, so he replied. anytime shaitan try to work on me i lit this match or lighter and feel the pain of fire than think of what is the hell fire will be like.
May Allah subhanahu watala keep us all away from hell fire & keep his mercy on us. Aameen

Mohammed Ali, he was called on one talk show, after 911, compare ask him, are you ashamed of being Muslim, as this evil act has been done by Muslims, He smile and ask compare, what was the religion of Hitler, that compare was stunned, he was not expecting this question, he embarssingly answered, he was Christian, then Mohammed Ali ask with smiling face to him, are you ashamed of being Christian, because Hitler was Christian. That compare had no answer.

I don't want to contradict, but is this true that Mohammed Ali is Qadiyani?

Nice one.
but how do we explain it to our daughters and sisters ?
go out in karaci , lahore and islamabad , bazars or education institutions , and you can see thousands of our girls like STAR PLUS / BOLLYWOOD style.

No advise is effective till we act on it , we should try to improve ourself in light of such advises and if we do not that means we are just enjoying reading .

Islam is all about practice not just knowledge of something.

Mohammad Ali was with Nation of Islam in the beginning but then he reverted back to true Islam.
