Anelca is looking for Spiritual

Salvation in Islam

Nicolas Anelca, the French football player in the Spanish club Real Madrid, looks for spiritual salvation in studying Islam in preparation of embracing it.

The British popular newspaper “The Mirror” has recently reported that Anelca is hoping to acquire the spiritual strength that would help him improve his luck with the Spanish team, Real Madrid, by turning to Allah.

Anelca, the French striker whom Real Madrid bought from the English club, Arsenal, for about 23 million sterling pounds, is currently studying Islamic Sharia in preparation of converting to Islam and becoming a Muslim committed to his new religion’s teachings.

Anelca said that the matter of embracing Islam was a private one whose details he liked to keep to himself, yet he admitted that he was studying the Islamic religion for the purpose of knowing its teachings as a Muslim in the future. He went on to say that a large number of French players, who were less than 21 years, were studying Islam together for the purpose of converting to it and considered it as a spiritual salvation for them in a materialistic world which made them suffer from psychological trouble and spiritual vacuum.
