MADINAH: Former boxing champion Mike Tyson, who embraced Islam while
serving a prison sentence in the 1990s, is on his first visit to the
Kingdom to perform Umrah. He arrived in the holy city of Madinah on Friday
to perform prayers at the Prophet’s Mosque.
While in Madinah, Tyson met Dr. Muhammad Al-Oqala, president of the Islamic
University, who briefed the world heavyweight champion on the services
being rendered by the university to students from across the world.
From Madinah, Tyson will travel on to Makkah to perform Umrah, press
reports said. He will also visit Jeddah, Abha and Riyadh as part of his
Saudi tour. His visit to Saudi Arabia was arranged by the Canadian Dawa
Association (CDA) as part of visits it organizes for new Muslim celebrities
to the Islamic sites in the Kingdom. Shazad Mohammed, president of CDA, was
present at Prince Muhammad International Airport in Madinah to receive
Tyson.
Mohammed, an ambassador of peace with the United Nations, said Tyson would
be in the Kingdom for one week, visiting the holy places as well as
important landmarks in the country and meeting with Saudi people to get to
know their culture and traditions.
