In this television interview in front of a packed live British audience, boxing legend Muhammad Ali is asked what his plans are after he retires. No one expected what he was about to say…
He begins by calculating how many years he has left until he is 65 and works out he’ll spend around 9 years sleeping…
…After calculating things like travelling and entertainment, he works out he has only 16 years to be productive…
…then he begins his Da’wah, he says he will spend the rest of his life getting ready to meet God…
…and explains business and wealth will not get a person to heaven.
He then asks the audience ‘how many believe there’s a God?’. Many affirm that they do and some don’t…
He then asks a series of questions to those who don’t believe in God to make them think.
He gives simple but powerful examples, he takes a cup and asks if it could make itself…
…and if the television studio could have come into existence all by itself.
He proves that such a thing would be absurd so claiming the Universe came about without a Creator would also be absurd.
He then proceeds to remind everyone about death and that it can come anytime…
And that we all have a Creator who Sees and Knows what we do…
He reminds everyone that this life is temporary and the main life is in the hereafter, either heaven or hell…
…and that this body of ours, our children and family have only been given as trusts to us.
He ends by mentioning that we have been put into this Earth so it can be seen which of us is best in deeds and are good to humanity.
