So far:
- Praying on a cricket field before the India match,
- Praying on the streets of San Francisco,
- Cleaning the Kaaba,
All on video, on social media, all got a lot of attention, his faith maybe genuine, I feel he is going to try and be the next Pak PM.
Okay, this guy is just overdoing it now.
He has it in him to be the future Prime Minister of Pakistan. Incredibly nice and humble guy. A hero
I am assuming that you guys are non Muslims thus are ignorant about the importance of cleaning and Kaaba to us Muslims. (Even though you belong from a country which has multiple religions yet are ignorant about Islam).
Islam has 5 pillars that need to be followed.
One of those pillars is to do Hajj in Makkah once in your life time if you could afford it. This is one of the most difficult thing to do as not many have the means to do this.
Currently, due to the break in Pakistan cricket during the Hajj season (which is next week), Rizwan, Babar, Ifikhar, Fakhar and Faheem Ashraf are currently in Saudi Arabia to do Hajj. Many people do Umrahs, but doing Hajj is itself a big achievement and an honor.
In this process, Muslims want to spend as much time as they could pleasing Allah. They will help the people around them and even try to clean the areas of Kaaba because they want to please Allah.
Now, in Pakistan, common people tend to avail these opportunities to clean the Kaaba, also take part in the sewing process of the cloth that is placed on the Kaaba and etc. People also like to take pictures and make videos of this to remember these events.
Alot of my relatives have made videoes of themselves when they got the opportunity to clean the praying areas of Kaaba.
Rizwan never made this video, its the people around him that made it. Forget Rizwan, even Faheem Ashraf was seen sewing the cloth of Kaaba when he was there for Umrah, and no one took notice of it even though his video was there.
Point is, rizwan gets more coverage and thus the criticism aswell.
Also, this is why our so called muslims need to not criticize Rizwan for each and everything, because than people of other faiths take this as an opportunity to hate Rizwan and critisize him for doing anything related to the farz of Islam.
Look at these comments by our Indian posters. Two of them are claiming he is trying to become the PM which makes 0 sense, while one is claiming overdoing it. Overdoing what? Just because you dont know about Islam so Rizwan is over doing it.
I dont blame these non muslim posters for these posts, because when our own muslims bash Rizwan, the opportunist will take the opportunity and join in on the criticism aswell.
Here are Indian cricketers doing something similar, but no one said they are over doing it or trying to become a BJP member or the PM of India.
You can see Surya Yadav and Kuldeep here.
Here is Tendulkar
Here is Ravi Shastri before a Test game between India vs Bangladesh.
