YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“My beliefs are more important than anything. If I have to give up basketball, I will.”
During the 1995-96 season, Denver Nuggets player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf refused to stand during the National Anthem as a form of peaceful political protest. As a result, he lost his career. Abdul-Rauf speaks about his experience and how Islam and his conviction kept him motivated and steadfast, despite the backlash. Check out his new documentary released on Showtime called, "Stand".

Each year, Yaqeen awards the Muhammad Ali Confident Muslim award to one presenter. Muhammad Ali represents an individual who combined conviction with contribution and touched the world. We hope to inspire a generation of confident Muslims to follow in those footsteps.
