Cricket Player ‪Wayne Parnell Accepts Islam - Convert to Islam - Official News

Wayne Parnell the South Africa left-arm seamer, has announced that he has converted to Islam. Parnell has not decided on a Muslim name yet and will still be known as Wayne Dillon.

"I converted to Islam in January 2011, after a period of personal study and reflection and it is a faith that I have always been interested in," Parnell said in a statement on Thursday. He also asked that the issue be treated with respect as he approaches his first period of fasting. "My faith choice is a matter which I would like to keep private."

Parnell confirmed that he will "continue to respect the team's endorsement of alcoholic beverages." South Africa's Test team is sponsored by Castle Lager, a local beer. Hashim Amla, also of Muslim faith, does not wear the beer logo on his playing kit after making a special arrangement with CSA because of his religious beliefs.

Do you know that Jesus is the only one who calls himself SON OF MAN (83 times in the Bible) when he is the only one believed by Christians not to be a son of man?! Even though we are all sons of man but none of us ever called himself or was called by others SON OF MAN But Jesus is the only one who used this term for himself according to the bible! If he is God , how can God call Himself SON OF MAN , and if he is son of God , why does he still need to call himself SON OF MAN?!
