I would respected bro Hashim Amla for his beard and his repulsion against income from alcohol companies. But when I heard that in the last Ramadhan he played against England; I don't know whether he broke fasting or not, but still it didn't seem to be fair to me and my respect for him drastically decreased. He could be a great model for muslim cricketers and for spectators also. Somewhere on this forum I read that he had islahi relationship with Shaykh Yunus Patel (RA). Correct me if I'm saying wrong. I think South African brothers should try to give him dawah to take him in Jamaat.
