In one of his interviews, Ozil had said, "I always do that before I go out .

I pray and my teammates know that they cannot talk to me during this brief period."

He observes fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan, but he has admitted that: "Because of my job I cannot follow Ramadan properly. I do it only the few days I can, only when I have a free day. But other than that it's impossible, because you have to drink and eat a lot to stay at peak fitness."

In May 2016, he performed Umrah.

What a brave Muslim...

Does it make you feel good about yourself? Instead suppressing his mistakes and praying for his proper guidance by Allah, does it make you feel good about yourself to point out his mistakes and label him as a lousy Muslim? Does it increase you in your closeness to Allah? Does it increase you in faith? Do you think that Allah just gave you a pat on your back for publicly humiliating a brother cuz of his errors? I really wanna know cuz if it does then maybe I should start pointing out the mistakes of others that they do out of sheer ignorance and start feeling good about my own high holiness!

Respekt Bruder Mesut

BS.

Sen Türk milli takım formasını kendi üzerine yakıştıramıyorsan demekki o forma sana bi kaç beden büyüktür.
Türk Milli takım forması giymek tercih değildir şereftir.

Once again , a person's own choices can't be held against them for persnal satisfaction , he may have changed in the present and that is still his own choice

People make mistakes, especially when you are young, famous and a millionaire by the time you're a teenager.

Anyone who feels compelled to judge should instead pray for the brother to find guidance and for thier own sins to be given. There is no scope for pride in piety.

None of the girls in there seem attractive. All have cosmetic surgeries done and look plasticy. He shud look for pretty girls.

This is the case with Pakistanis, defending a man because he's a muslim. If instead of him it was a muslim girl flirting around with guys & holding alcohol, can you guess how many will defend her & what would be the language used for the girl.
