According to Mubarak al-Bathali, who is labelled as a Kuwaiti ‘preacher’ who has 63,000 followers on Twitter, Mo Salah was injured against Real Madrid for a specific reason.
Al-Bathali believes the Liverpool star was punished for breaking his Ramadan fast early.
As punishment for being a bad Muslim, it’s claimed Salah was punished by God. Al-Bathali tweeted:
God punished him. Unfortunately, [he will] bear the burden. Do not think the Muslim believes that life is managed by reason and effort, but life is the hand of God comes to whom he will, whether hard or not diligent.
اللاعب محمد صلاح قرر اللعب مفطرا لأجل ليفربول كما صرح بذلك فعاقبه الله ..
لا يظن ظان وخاصة المسلم ان الحياة تدار بالعقل والجهد بل الحياة بيد الله يأتيها من يشاء سواء اجتهد او لم يجتهد ..
هداك الله يا محمد صلاح ولعل الأمر فيها خيرا لك في كل نواحي الحياة..— مبارك البذالي (@mubaark) May 27, 2018
So does that mean Sergio Ramos was actually doing God’s work?!
Of course, most will consider this to be a fringe opinion without merit.
