Most people don't pray until they're in trouble. When people need help they pray a lot. But after they get what they want, they slow down. If a man takes five showers a day, his body will be clean. Praying five times a day helps me clean my mind.

Maybe Parkinson’s is God’s way of reminding me what is important. It slowed me down and caused me to listen rather than talk. People pay more attention to me now because I don’t talk so much.
Parkinson’s is my toughest fight. No, it doesn’t hurt. It’s hard to explain. I’m being tested to see if I will keep praying, to see if I will keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.

I’m not afraid of dying. I have faith; I do everything I can to live my life right; and I believe that dying will bring me closer to God.

The Nation Of Islam taught that white people are devils. I don’t believe that now; in fact, I never really believed that.
Our political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people’s views on what Islam really is.

I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world. True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion.

Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016) was an iconic American boxer and humanitarian activist. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Ali won a gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics and captured the world heavyweight title for the first time in 1964. He was renowned for his unique fighting style, blending speed, agility, and unparalleled footwork, often preceded by his bold confidence and catchphrases like 'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.' Following his conversion to Islam and renaming himself Muhammad Ali, he became a controversial and inspiring figure. His refusal to be drafted into the army during the Vietnam War in 1967 led to the stripping of his title and a three-and-a-half-year ban from boxing. However, he made a triumphant return in 1970. Ali was more than just a boxer; he used his platform to speak out against racism and social injustice, becoming a symbol of resistance and empowerment for many. His battle with Parkinson's disease, diagnosed in 1984, was fought with the same determination he showed in the ring. He passed away in 2016, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most important and influential athletes of the 20th century.
