Being a Muslim makes Manchester United (MU) central midfielder Paul Pogba feel inner peace. In fact, in his statement, Pogba admitted that his life is currently going well.
In an interesting interview with 'The Times Life Times' some time ago, the French footballer claimed that he was only interested in studying Islamic teachings when he was an adult. Although the mother practices strict Islam, her three children were not raised conservatively, in a religious context.
Pogba became interested in Islam and deepened his faith, not in his mother's lap. Another factor, namely the environment that made Pogba grow as a follower of the belief of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam.
After going through difficult times at the age of 20, he confidently anchored his choice to become a devout Muslim. "This is a nice change in my life, because I was not born a Muslim even though my mother is a Muslim. I grew up that way, thanks to everyone," Pogba said in the statement.
The decision to become a convert was not taken haphazardly. Pogba said he often discussed with his friends and did in-depth research before deciding to become a Muslim.
"It all started because I had many Muslim friends. We always talked. I questioned many things in myself, then I started research. Once I prayed with my colleagues and I felt something different," he continued.
There is nothing wrong in Pogba's practice of finding his identity, being a Muslim through many big questions that he must meet first is one of the journey of a convert. His faith increased when the 27-year-old player performed worship (Umrah) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Pogba visited the house of Allah SWT to deepen his spiritual journey.
Since becoming a convert, Pogba has felt many changes in his life. His mind became more open and made him feel that he had become a better person than before.
"I feel really good. From that day on, I (kept) going," Pogba explained.
