Brésil : mariage avec une marocaine, conversion à l'islam, Roberto Carlos apporte des précisions
Former Brazilian international defender Roberto Carlos has addressed reports that he converted to Islam after his marriage to Moroccan Souhaila El Tahri. The 2002 World Cup winner wanted to put an end to the speculation that has been circulating in the press for several days.
According to several Turkish media outlets, Roberto Carlos converted to Islam approximately four weeks ago. The former Brazilian international defender for Real Madrid reportedly recited his profession of faith during a meeting with Sheikh Jihad Hamada, a prominent figure in the Muslim community in Brazil.
The rumor gained new momentum after a statement by Ali Sahin, a member of parliament for the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey. On the social network X, he claimed to have met Sheikh Jihad Hamada during a visit to the Brazilian Muslim Youth Charitable Union in São Paulo.
According to Ali Sahin, the sheikh explained to him that Roberto Carlos had been in contact with him for a long time and that he had visited him a few weeks earlier to pronounce the profession of faith and convert to Islam.
Faced with the growing attention this information has received, Roberto Carlos has finally decided to react. In comments reported Wednesday by the Saudi daily Okaz, the former Brazilian international categorically denied his conversion.
"I have the greatest respect for Islam, and it is wonderful to see my wife praying, but the rumors circulating about my conversion to Islam are false," he said.
Roberto Carlos's marriage to Souhaila El Tahri had fueled the speculation. The former Real Madrid player explained that several ceremonies had been organized to respect the religious beliefs of both families.
"The celebration took place in several forms. We wanted to organize a ceremony in accordance with the beliefs of the family members, given that they are Catholic, as well as another ceremony adapted for my wife and her Muslim friends," Roberto Carlos explained.
The Brazilian thus puts an end to rumors concerning a possible conversion, while reaffirming his deep respect for the Muslim religion.

Si un homme musulman peut épouser une femme catholique et l’accompagner à l’église, sans renier sa foi musulmane, afin qu’elle reçoive son sacrement de mariage, pourquoi la réciproque ne serait-elle pas vraie? Cette flexibilité que les prêtres catholiques ont intégré n’est mentionné nulle part dans le dogme catholique; c’est juste une sorte d’intelligence sociale.
J’appelle mes frères musulmans et leurs imams à en faire de même car au fond seul Dieu sait celui qui est dans le vrai et dont le cœur est bon et on est tous des enfants de Dieu. La religion ne doit pas être un prétexte pour contrecarrer les plans amoureux des individus.
Elle est dans le pêché ABSOLU./
Musilim rek !!!! Toi tu refuses
