كنا نظن انك قدوة وخير سفير لدينك لتؤثر بالآخرين ..
لم نتوقع منك أن تتأثر و أن تشاركتهم ( سب الله وشتمه ) ياصلاح ..
لاتكن كمن " يبيع دينه بعرض من الله قليل "
فتهنئهم لأجل الشهرة أو الرضا عنك أو المال !
"فمن أرضى الناس بسخط الله؛ سخط الله عليه وأسخط عليه الناس "

Mo Salah, I loved you as a Barca fan. I viewed you as my role model. Even though you never played for Barca, you inspired me. However, after this tweet, I can no longer view you as my role model. You broke my heart. If you don‘t delete this tweet, I will unfollow you.

زميلك النني خير مثال،افتخر بديننا الإسلامي افتخر به وسخّر هذه النعمة،لخدمة دين الله عز وجل بنشره مقاطع وهو يتلو القرآن الكريم،لعل أحدهم يراها ويهتدي بسببه، قال النَّبيَّ ﷺ: فو اللَّهِ لأنْ يهْدِيَ اللَّه بِكَ رجُلًا واحِدًا خَيْرٌ لكَ من حُمْرِ النَّعم ..

(تكاد السماوات يتفطرن منه وتنشق الأرض وتَخرُّ الجبال هدّاً، أن دعوا للرحمن ولداً، وما ينبغي للرحمن أن يتخذ ولداً، إن كل من في السماوات والأرض إلا آتي الرحمن عبداً، لقد أحصاهم وعدَّهم عدّاً، وكلهم آتيه يوم القيامة فرداً).

This is a pagan belief introduced to Christianity in the Council of Nicaea. Why does an omnipresent God need to give himself to save his own creations? Surely he can just forgive them.

As a Muslim conserned, this is not a good habits, as from today you lose my support to you.

تنتقدون محمد صلاح بسبب الاحتفال بعيد شعب يعيش بينهم ويحترمونه بل ويقدسونه لماذا تتناسون ان محمد صلاح يمارس طقوسه الاسلاميه بعد كل هدف هل تعلمون بان اطفال الانجليز صارو يقلدونه في السجود هل تعلمون انهم ينشدون ويقولون ساصبح مسلماً لاجل صلاح ويسألون عن طريق المسجد

وفرق كبير بينه وبين المسلم مسعود اوزيل فرق بين الثرى والثريا..

One thing I love about Mo Salah is that every year, he will post on Eid Mubarak and Christmas. He’s so unbothered about those of you who are crying in his mention. Lmao
