Inspirational young Muslim-Love for religion and basketball can co exist.

[Deeniosity]

In a sad ending to Rohullah's career, he tore his ACL in the Summer before his Junior season. He had a couple of colleges who were watching him. Immediately after rehab he decided he wanted to continue his Islamic studies and subsequently received his GED at age 16. After studying Arabic for 2 years, Rohullah was then the imam of his local masjid in California @ 18. Rohullah is currently studying Islam in South Africa and inshAllah will be a Mufti in a couple of years. Keep him in your du'ua.

@9ANNERWAR don't be a hater, FYI IF YOU WATCH NBA if you know anything about it, point guards are short?!?! Aren't they. I'm guessing you can't play as good as him lol

[MsDan297]

The commentator assumption that "due to the nature of the religion, you don't see a lot of Islamic basketball players" is ridiculous because there's nothing in Islam against sports... But I do admire how strong the boy is in his beliefs and how his teammates look up to him. :) MashaAllah! May Allah swt bless him and keep him steady and strong on the path of Islam :)

[9ANNERWAR]

This shit Muslim is too small for basketball.

[arabprodigy1]

@9ANNERWAR  YOU SHIT RACIST IS TO FAT TO DO ANYTHING

[zeeshan55]

So proud of him!! this video does deserve the word "inspirational" in the title

[drx4sx]

a true legend !!

[samana1fromsomalia]

"because of the nature of his religion, you don't see a lot of Islamic basketball players" First the word you are looking for is Muslims not Islamic. And second that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life. My brother is a great basketball player. He was the captain in his high school team and he still plays basketball in college and yes you guessed it he is Muslim from Somalia. Islam doesn't restrict you from playing basketball just because you are Muslim.

[Wafa07977]

wow Its great to hear that, I am not fitting in my cloths in this moment, I am proud to be a Muslim and Afghan.... Love you Afghanistan,,,,

[talibalhidaya]

[desiboyh]

How does the nature of religion stop muslims from being athletic?? Their are many muslims in the NBA.

[nkhanzz]

@desiboyh .. yeah bro! but not practicing muslims

[desiboyh]

@nkhanzz

thats actually not true. Many players like Hakeem Olajuwon and there is a new Turkish muslim on the bulls who are or were practicing. Also being athletic is pushed as something good in Islam. For example, the Pakistani cricket is a world championship team.

[nasehaC]

MashAllah he makes me ashamed to be a amuslim :(

[sulyman751]

@nasehaC don't be shame sister, our Rabb is a Loving Rabb and He Forgives ALLL sin...I for one are proud of you to admits your short comings.

may Allah(swt) bless him in this life and the hereafter and accept his deeds. Ameen

[butterfly2729]

"because of the nature of the religion"...oh dear...doesn't he know that most major sportsmen are Muslims?

Aside from that, it's a great video and inshallah the brother goes far!

[DaPoetTV]

Thanks sister for uplaoding this video

this shows to people that whether be basketball or other aspects of life in western society Muslims can co-exist. We can practice our religion whilst living a normal life.
