While Morocco rewrite their own history, they are also rewriting the history of a continent, and a faith too.

mention the hardships his parents went through to allow him to become a footballer, is something that resonates with me and many people. It shows these players are human and, before being a footballer making history, they are someone’s child.I can’t describe the emotions I feel when I see players on the biggest stage of their career seeking help, attributing their success and thanking God on a global stage, showing they are human — just like myself and every other Muslim.

For some reason, this is the closest I have ever felt to delight. I guess it is because I am a bit older to appreciate it.Maybe I am reminded of my lifelong neighbours on a small estate in London who were Moroccan and always greeted us on the street followed by ‘asalamu alaykum’ — an Islamic greeting meaning may peace be upon you.
