Along with Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy and Arda Guler, Diaz became the fourth Muslim in the royal club. Muslims around the world received this news with delight and applauded the Real star’s decision, which came in the holy month of Ramadan.
The great offensive lineman has made another major life change. He previously decided to wear the jersey of Morocco, the country where his father is from.
Brahim was born and raised in Spain. He took his first football steps in Malaga, and then went to Manchester City.
In 2019, he became a member of Real Madrid, but he did not get a chance right away, so he spent three seasons in AC Milan. On his return to Madrid, he finally got his chance.
The 26-year-old recently had an extremely difficult period for his career. He missed the penalty for Morocco’s victory over Senegal in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, and found himself under serious pressure from the nation.
He found spiritual peace in Islam. He accepted the faith and tonight everything was officially confirmed.
The decision to change his religion comes at a time when the public’s focus on him is extremely high. The media in Morocco have already written widely about his conversion to Islam, and social networks are full of messages of support.
