\u201cPrayer calms my soul\u201d, Blum told Bild newspaper<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

German Footballer Danny Blum has announced his reversion to Islam, the religion he describes as of hope and strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cIslam gives me hope and strength\u201d, Blum told Bild newspaper on January 26.<\/p>\n

Entering the fold of Islam was a momentous turning point for the young man who- in his own words- was \u201cshort-tempered, erratic and did not know where to belong\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrayer calms my soul\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Blum joined FC N\u00fcrnberg in Bavaria last July. The team plays in the Second Division of professional football in Germany, the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n

Shortly after joining the team, he injured his knee and was forced eventually to take six months off.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, he took the decision to revert to Islam, joining the world\u2019s fastest growing religion.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving in the lap of luxury. Every weekend make alarm. No responsibility for anything. And what actually comes after retirement?\u201d the questions came to Blum as he sat at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have visited a mosque and I immediately risen the heart. I felt this is something for me and wanted to know more,\u201d Blum told Bild.<\/p>\n

Ever since, he prays five times a day and eat halal food. Informing his parents with his decision, the 24-year-old player said they were scare at first.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are devout Christians. But soon they said that I have to go that route if I believe that it is right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

May Allah bless him and keep him strong and firm on this true path. Ameen.<\/p>\n
