Converts To Islam Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkSouth African fast bowler Wayne Parnell has converted to Islam after a period of personal study and reflection and will celebrate his 22nd birthday on Friday as a Muslim.
Parnell confirmed in a statement on Thursday that he converted to Islamic faith in January this year and is considering to change his name to Waleed, which means 'Newborn Son'.
"While I have not yet decided on an Islamic name I have considered the name Waleed which means Newborn Son, but for now my name remains Wayne Dillon Parnell. I will continue to respect the team's endorsement of alcoholic beverages. I am playing cricket in Sussex and this is my immediate focus," said Port Elizabeth-born Parnell.
"As I am approaching my first period of fasting, I ask that this special time is treated with respect. I am a young man, a professional cricketer by trade, and while I can appreciate and am grateful for the public interest in my personal life, my faith choice is a matter which I would like to keep private," said the promising Warriors left-arm seam bowler.
Proteas team manager Mohamed Moosajee, himself a Muslim, said Parnell's Muslim teammates Hashim Amla and Imran Tahir had not influenced his decision to convert from Christianity.
"Wayne already decided a few months ago to follow Islam," Moosajee said of the cricketer, who excelled during the ICC World Cup on the subcontinent.
"The decision to convert was his own decision, but I know nothing of the name change," added Moosajee.
Fellow players, preferring to remain anonymous, said they believed Parnell was very serious about his choice of religion and that he had not touched a drop of alcohol, forbidden to Muslims, since the recent Indian Premier League series.
Supporting Moosajee's denial of influence by Amla, the players said he had never attempted to convert them to his religion, although they had all been very impressed by the discipline and strict adherence that Amla showed to his religion, by refusing to participate in celebrations with them that involved liquor, staying steadfast in his daily prayers even while on tour, and refusing to wear the kit sponsored by South African beer brand Castle Lager.
In his first two years after making his debut for the Proteas in 2009, Parnell developed a hard-living reputation.
In October 2009, he was kicked out of the provincial side Warriors following an incident in a night club in the city of Port Elizabeth in the early hours of the morning.
He came to limelight when he captained South African Under-19 team in the U-19 World Cup in 2008. He was the youngest player to get a central contract in 2009 at the age of 20 years.
He is the second Christian to have reverted to Islam after Pakistan's Yousuf Yohana (now Mohammad Yousuf) in 2006.
Former controversial Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni, who acted in a number of hit movies during the 90s, has reportedly converted to Islam.
According to the buzz, the actress has reportedly embraced the Islamic religion after tying knot with her boyfriend Vicky Goswami on May 10. Presently, the controversial actor is believed to have settled in Nairobi, Kenya, with her husband.
Kulkarni married 52-year-old Goswami, after a long relationship, when he was in prison in Dubai. She was managing her husband’s hotel business in his absence.

Goswami is also not averse to controversies. He was arrested by the UAE police in 1997 for 25 years in connection with a drug smuggling case. His sentence was reduced after he converted to Islam. He was released on November 15, 2012.
In 1993, Kulkarni first landed in controversy when she posed topless on the cover page of Stardust magazine, following which she was charged under India’s many obscenity laws, and found herself under attack from both conservative religious groups, and women’s groups.
Mamta has acted in films like Aashiq Awara, Waqt Hamara Hai, Krantiveer, Karan Arjun, Sabse Bada Khiladi, Baazi, China Gate, Ghatak: Lethal among many other hit movies. After working in Bollywood for almost 11 years, Mamta took retirement from showbiz.

Brother, no one benefit when someone converts to Islam except the person who converted. The strength of the Islam neither the number of the Muslims nor famous people converting to Islam. It’s just the Quran whoever read it carefully will convert to Islam.
NIRMAL MISHRA
THIS IS JUST THE DISGRACE WHICH THESE COWARDS CANNOT TAKE .THESE PEOPLE CANNOT DO JUSTICE WITH ANY RELIGION .I HAVE READ YOUR QURAN THERE IS NOTHING ADMIRING THAT PEOPLE WILL CONVERT THEMSELVES . IT IS JUST THAT THEY ENJOY CHANGE & PEOPLE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE HALALED DURING THE TIME OF HOLI AND DIWALI AS TOKEN OF BALI FOR OUR GODDESS WHICH EMBRACE ALL HINDU HAR HAR MAHADEV

Well nirmal, Religion means respect. Respect to everything. And to help the brother, friend, neighbour, even enemy. I don’t know why you did not find quran admiring. But I found vedas admiring and so the bible. Books are our guides. Don’t look at the people. Look at the lord who is one. Allah may give us right thinking of his concept of nir ranjan nir akar.

Hameem please read book titled ‘UNDERSTANDING ISLAM THROUGH HADIS’ & then say whether you still want to be a Muslim . The book was published by voice of India written by Shri. Ram Swarup. Another book by Shri Sita Ram Goel titled ‘The Culcutta Quran Petition’ also published by the same publisher may be enlightening. I earnestly request all Muslims who made comments on this topic to spare their time to read these books.
A Muslim
You can write and publish whatever you want but that doesn’t mean its true.

Correct. Just because something is written by someone somewhere does not automatically make it true, far less can it be said to be the word of god. Now apply this new-found rational though process to the Quran and stop blindly believing in it as the absolute truth written by God, without any proof and based purely on the explicit truth of hell-fire. If not, then at least don’t lecture others about not accepting what is written in books as truth automatically.
