Saeed Anwar narrated a story about Hashim Amla who is a Muslim player from South African cricket Team. He said that when Shahid Afridi asked Hashim Amla’s friend about him they said that when we are depressed and in tension after losing a match we see Hashim Amla relaxed and praying or reading Quran.
They said that we think if he is so relaxed in his outer appearance how much more relaxed he will be from inside?
Actually, if I ever needed inspiration I just turn to my left and see Hashim reading the Quran! Wat a #Legend
