Nicolas and Islam

I have read an article about this household name in the world of football, Nicholas Anelka this morning.
Up until then, I never knew that his Muslim name is Abdul Salam Bilal Anelka and married to a non-muslim girl named Barbara Tausia. As far as I know, one Muslim cannot marry a non-muslim unless he/she is a true believer in the Holy Books (Torah,Zabur and Bible) or known as Ahl Al-Kitab.They were married in 2007, 3 years after he embraced Islam.But,this is not what I want to talk about.

I respect this guy because after living without a religion since birth, he finally found the religion that changed him from being a hot-tempered and over-emotional guy to a lot more calm and down to the earth person. And all credits to him for still being able to perform fasting during every Ramadhan eventhough Barclays Premier League usually kick-off at these time of the year.May God bless him,makes him a better Muslim(that does not mean I am better than him kay!) and shows the right path to his wife, Ameen.

p/s : I am starting to read articles about Chelsea, guess I am a True Blue after all.
