British-American kickboxer and highly controversial influencer Andrew Tate, who was banned from all social media platforms earlier this year for his misogynist remarks, has now converted to Islam. Born in Chicago and grew up in Luton, the former kickboxer previously described Islam as \u2018the last true religion in the world\u2019 and he has now confirmed that he is Muslim himself after a video of him praying in a mosque went viral.<\/p>\n

Tate, a self-proclaimed \u2018success coach\u2019, made the announcement on one of his remaining social media accounts called Gettr. \u201cThis is why I\u2019m Muslim. Any Christian who believes in good and understands the true battle against evil must convert. So be patient, indeed the promise of Allah is TRUTH Quran 30:60,\u201d read his note.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy comment, he further explained the reasons for Tate\u2019s conversion and vouched for him. \u201cBrother Andrew is very sincere and his heart is with Islam. Let me clarify a few things. Why did I record us pray? Because it helps to post positivity,\u201d stressing that it is the first time that Tate has prayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew could have said no, he knows this could hurt his already controversial situation on social media, but he did it himself. By God, it was a special visit to the mosque. Only he and I wanted it. We planned it days ago, but today he reminded me to go,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad that we did this so that people could see the real side of him, and this was his first time in the mosque, and what a way to start his journey, as we went on Saturday night to the mosque to pray, and I spoke at length about the Qur\u2019an, hadiths and the actions of the Prophet Muhammad, may God\u2019s prayers and peace be upon him, and misconceptions about Islam, and so on.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed out that what they did was a way to motivate young children not to feel ashamed of being religious and praying. \u201cWe agreed that it shouldn\u2019t be shown on a podcast or anything else, because people would claim it was for influence or a fake following. No one is perfect, but thank God he has a good heart and pure intentions,\u201d Khan said<\/p>\n

Concluding, Khan called on his followers to allow Tate to announce the news the way he wants, pointing out that changing the lifestyle is not a quick thing, but accepting the truth and believing that it is necessary, because tomorrow is never guaranteed, as he described it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
