A number of videos claiming to show football star Cristiano Ronaldo reading the Quran in a mosque have been making the rounds on social media. Ronaldo and his wife have reportedly converted to Islam, according to a number of posts. Millions of people have watched the videos, which have generated a lot of discussion.
Is Ronaldo Reading the Quran?
A man is seen reading from the Quran in one of these videos, which has the description, “Cristiano Ronaldo Reciting Quran.” Numerous posters, particularly on Facebook and TikTok, assert that Ronaldo and his wife, Georgina Rodríguez, have accepted Islam and read the Quran. This claim gained more viral traction after one of these TikTok posts received over 58,000 shares and 1.7 million likes.
Iraqi Ronaldo lookalike
The individual in the video is not Cristiano Ronaldo, despite what some people have said. The person is Bewar Abdullah, a well-known Ronaldo lookalike who was born in Iraq and currently lives in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Because of his remarkable likeness to Ronaldo, Abdullah has become well-known and frequently uploads videos on the internet that mimic the football player.
The Truth
On July 20, 2021, Bewar Abdullah uploaded the popular video to his TikTok account (@bewarabdullah) with the caption, “Eat Mubarek🕌 (sic).” There are 1.7 million followers of Abdullah. Abdullah’s name comes at the end of the popular video, verifying his identification. Because of his likeness to Ronaldo, Abdullah is sometimes confused for the player.
Because of his resemblance to Ronaldo, Abdullah is well-liked on the internet and frequently gets invited to events and appearances. In addition to the video, there are a lot of people who say that Ronaldo and his wife have become Muslims. However, this is not supported by any reliable evidence. These unfounded rumors seem to have started from the same viral material about Ronaldo’s lookalike.
What’s the confusion about?
Abdullah’s striking likeness to Ronaldo and the tendency of social media posts to become viral, which frequently deceive viewers, are the causes of the misconception. “#Ronaldo #CristianoRonaldo #CR7 #SaudiArabia” and other Ronaldo-related hashtags and captions added fuel to the rumors and gave them more credibility in the eyes of the football player’s worldwide fan base.
AI Generated Viral Video
Apart from this, an AI generated video is also going viral of Christiano Ronaldo accepting Islam, doing Wudhu and reading Quran in a Mosque along with other Muslims
Although the video looks very much realistic and appealing, but sadly it is an AI generated video. hence, Christiano Ronaldo hasn’t accepted Islam yet.
and Allah SWT knows best.
May Allah guide him.
