The bayan was today after asar namaz at Blackburn's tablighi markaz. Yousuf talked for about half an hour and made some great points. He said:
We are muslims but don't live a life of a muslim. Dominic Cork said to Yousuf are u the only muslim in Pakistan team? Yousuf said maybe he was joking or said it seriously. The reason why he might have said it is nobody looks like a muslim and we don't practice Islam.
He said he made intention to spend 40 days in tabligh after the world cup but didn't go. Then he got dropped from Pak team and then he went for 40 days..said it was good in a way that he got dropped. Allah opened the way for him to go for 40 days.
He said when he scored 3/4 successive test centuries v Windies, Bravo and Chanderpaul asked him if he is scoring heavily because of the beard
Yousuf said it's all from Allah. They said shave for one series and keep a beard the next series
Yousuf also spoke to Brian Lara about Islam. He spoke to Lara for one hour and Lara didn't interrupt Once. At the end of the talk he said i have never seen the people u are talking about in the years i have been touring here (no practicing muslims hardly) He said when we talk to muslims about Islam they say why did u come to us we r muslims etc. Non muslims listen atentively.
He also said whenever i read namaz at Old Trafford, the players turn their music off and remain silent.
It was a great speach and i also met Mohammad Yousuf. He's probz the most humble superstar i have met alongside Saeed Anwar.
