ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE

[misbah ul haya]

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From the world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: "The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to the semi final, 2 to the finals,
when I was holding the cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'

 

[AlQurtubi]

Did he embrace islam before he died?

I like this BTW
"me zulmat e shab me le k nikloon ga apny darmanda karwan ko
sharr fashan ho gi ah meri nafs mera shula baar ho ga"
