New Zealand Rugby Player converts to Islam

The All Blacks rugby player Ofa Tu’ungafasi has accepted Islam following a visit with his Muslim teammate Sonny Bill Williams over the weekend to the survivors of Christchurch mosque terrorist attack. John Fontain wrote on Tuesday that:

“Allahu akbar today Sonny Bill William’s mother and his teammate Offa Tuungafasi accepted Islam. May Allah make it easy for them and grant them firdous ameen. Podcast coming soon Inshallah.”

The All Blacks player is originally from Tonga. Tu’ungafasi and Williams spent time with some of the mass shooting victims at Christchurch Hospital; shaking hands, posing for selfies, and offering words of comfort. Tu’ungafasi described survivors as an inspiration and prayed for their speedy recovery. He posted on Twitter:

“Verily, with every hardship comes ease. Had the most amazing experience visiting the Muslim Brothers in hospital on the weekend…May the Almighty bless you all with quick recovery. Love and Duas.”
