Despite his young age, he currently sits as the highest point scorer in the Premier League for this season. He also sits at the second place just behind Christiano Ronaldo as the second highest point scorer in the Champions League.\n\nHe is unapologetically Muslim and is often seen prostrating in Sujood Al-Shukr (the prostration of thanks) after scoring his goals. He is also often seen off the field reading the Quran.\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Secret behind Salah\u2019s Goals \u2764 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qN2jtj21Yr\">pic.twitter.com\/qN2jtj21Yr<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 AbuBakar Muhibbi ??\u2764 (@abubakarmuhibbi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abubakarmuhibbi\/status\/983801549901230081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 10, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\nIn an age of heightened fear of Muslims and Islam, many have also considered him the solution to Islamophobia. Playing for Liverpool FC, he has an extremely large following of British Non-Muslims and many now look up to him as a role model.\n\nIt\u2019s commonplace to see weekly tweets of his fans even saying they\u2019re willing to convert to Islam as well.\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/22mosalah?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@22mosalah<\/a> You&#8217;ve full on converted me to Muslim at this stage mate.

His appearance in the commercial proved so successful that calls to the Anti-Drug Hotline increased by 400%.\n\n\n\nMay Allah accept all the efforts of Mohamad Salah and make him a role model for all around the world. May Allah also allow the beauty of Islam to flourish through his actions for the world to see the truth of this religion.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Mohamad Salah and why does the world love him Mohamad Salah has taken the world by storm and it\u2019s not just the Muslims who are in love with him.
