I'm Shy, But Sometimes My Voice Is

I Was Doing Just My Duty, But That Was Impacting A Lot Of People And Making Them Proud. So, I Feel So Grateful To Allah For Giving Me That Opportunity While I Had That Chance To Make That Impact. And Thankfully It Impacted All The People - More Than I Realized.

The Most Important Thing In A Person's Life Is His Faith And How He Translates His Faith Into Practical Deeds.

When I Was Playing, I Didn't Realize How Much Of An Impact I Would Make On People, Muslim Or Non-muslim. We Played A Lot Of Games During Ramadan. On National Tv, The Announcers Were Commenting About Ramadan, And This Raised The Awareness To The General Public And We Made All The Muslims Very, Very Proud.

I Remember At The 1996 Olympics In Atlanta, Shaq Always Wanted Me To Show Him Steps Over And Over.

Allah Says In The Qur'an Not To Despise One Another. So The Criterion In Islam Is Not Color Or Social Status. It's Who Is Most Righteous. If I Go To A Mosque - And I'm A Basketball Player With Money And Prestige - If I Go To A Mosque And See An Imam, I Feel Inferior. He's Better Than Me. It's About Knowledge.
