Pierre Vogel . Brief Profile
According to various media sources, Pierre Vogel is a professional boxer who was born on July 20, 1978 in West Germany.
Pierre Vogel started to become a professional boxer when he was 22 years old and only fought for 2 years. In total he has competed for 7 times, all ended in victory. Although fairly short, this does not reduce the value of the horror and ferocity of the fighter.
The story of his early interest in embracing Islam was when he felt the turmoil in life. Vogel, who used to feel that his life was meaningless despite being an undefeated professional boxer, then he found Islam as the answer.
"I started to feel restless and restless when I was 14 years old. In my heart a question arose about God. Finally I decided to leave boxing because I thought about the true meaning of life in religion," said Vogel.
Pierre Vogel's first interest in Islam
Initially he studied all religions. Until finally meeting people who hate Islam, Vogel, who at that time agreed, invited that person to discuss.
After that he tried to study the Koran many times and finally decided to embrace Islam. The hatred in his heart had faded.
After so long studying until the opportunity to go to Medina to study Islam. He then broadcast Islam. His name was changed to Sholahuddin Abu Hamzah.
Through his da'wah, hundreds or even thousands of Germans have embraced Islam. Told in 2011 when he was speaking in front of the German people, there was someone who called him a heretic. Vogel smiled and called the person to the pulpit.
Reported by Jugendnetzwetiar, in front of thousands of people he spoke out loud about Islam and miraculously many people decided to take the creed followed by an echoing takbir. No less than 1500 people converted to Islam at that time. Allahu Akbar.. Allah is the one who gives guidance..
