A Miftaah scholar explained why they are having the UFC legend on board with them, even though he is not an Imam.
The Scholar explained,” “Why is Miftaah hosting Khabib Nurmagomedov? What is the purpose behind it? He’s not a scholar, he’s not an imam. He’s not an instructor, so what’s the objective? When your brothers and sisters throughout different generations and eras they have individuals that have been able to inspire people towards becoming better Muslims.”
“We are excited to host khabib not because simply of his career and him being 29 and 0. Or us just being fans. But also because we do hope to inspire people and inspire ourselves to become better Muslims, humans, and how we can put Allah at the forefront of our decisions. How we can learn from his career, learn from his ups and downs, and hopefully allow our lives to, at some extent, embody the lives of those that are pleased with Allah.”
