00:00This is the story of Cassius Clay, who changed his name to Muhammad Ali.
00:17He knows how to talk, and he knows how to fight, and all the contenders will be out of sight.
00:25Think Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, he floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee.
00:35Muhammad, the black superman, who calls to the other guy, Ali.
00:47Catch me if you can.
00:49Now all you fight fans, you've got to agree, there ain't no flyers on Muhammad Ali.
01:01He builds the arena wherever he goes, and everyone gets what they're getting for.
01:09Muhammad, was known to have said, you watch me shuffle and I get on your head.
01:19He moves like the black superman, and calls to the other guy, Ali.
01:31Catch me if you can.
01:33He says, I'm the greatest the world's ever seen, the heavyweight champion, who came back again.
01:45My face is so pretty, you don't see any star, which proves I'm the king of the ring.
01:53Baham, sing Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, he floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee.
02:03Muhammad, the black superman, who calls to the other guy, Ali.
02:15Catch me if you can.
02:17Catch me if you can.
02:47Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, he floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee.
02:56Muhammad, the black superman, who calls to the other guy, Ali.
03:08Catch me if you can.
03:10Catch me if you can.
03:40It's not a dream, I'm going to be sitting there close, next to you.
04:10It's not a dream, it's a dream, it's not a dream.
04:16But your dream is a dream, there are all the challenges that you can achieve.
04:57We start with our program for this evening.
05:23I will request everybody to settle down wherever he finds a seat and if there are no seats available, you can go towards the other side and can watch things from there more comfortably.
05:37But keep the passages clear.
06:36أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا دُخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّ
06:48وَلَا أَتَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُّ الظُّ مُّبِينَ
07:08فَإِنْ زَلَنْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْتُمُ الْبَيِّنَاءَةُ فَاعْلَمُوا أَمَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
07:38فَإِنْ زَلَنْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْتُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ فَاعْلَمُوا أَمَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
08:02هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمَامِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ
08:25وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورِ
08:43وَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورِ
08:51صَدَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمِ
08:55Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
09:05Mr. Muhammad Ali
09:12Mrs. Yolanda Muhammad Ali
09:17Ladies and Gentlemen
09:22My task for this evening
09:27is both simple and pleasant
09:31Our guest
09:35for this evening
09:39is a person
09:42I don't have to introduce
09:45I don't have to even welcome
09:49I don't have to introduce him
09:53because
09:54he is so well known to us
09:59I don't have to welcome him
10:03because
10:04he is a part of us
10:06He is not a stranger
10:10He is not a visitor
10:13For him
10:15it's a long
10:17overdue
10:18homecoming
10:20We know him
10:29in many different ways
10:31But before I say anything about
10:35the multiplicity of our relationship
10:38with this gentleman
10:39I owe you an explanation
10:42We are a training institution
10:46We train people
10:50We motivate them
10:53We try to sublimate them
10:56into the higher ways of life
10:57And therefore
11:02Muhammad Ali's being here
11:04in a training institution
11:06may be rather
11:08enigmatic for some people
11:10to decipher
11:11his relevance
11:13to an institution like us
11:15But
11:18if you try to
11:20think about it
11:21it is very very easy
11:23to understand
11:23The basic task
11:26that we have before us
11:28is to train people
11:31to inspire them
11:34to motivate them
11:36to lead them
11:38to make them
11:41committed to a certain way of life
11:42to a certain attitude
11:44But how can you inspire people
11:47if you do not expose them
11:50to inspired persons
11:52how can you motivate people
11:55into higher responsiveness
11:58towards life
11:59if they do not meet
12:01really motivated people
12:03in their life
12:04How can you cultivate
12:06any degree of commitment
12:09if you do not expose
12:11your trainings
12:12to the people
12:13who are deeply committed
12:15to a certain way of life
12:16That is why
12:18Mr. Muhammad Ali
12:19is here with us
12:20Because he symbolizes
12:22commitment
12:22He symbolizes
12:24motivation
12:25He symbolizes
12:27sublimation
12:27And therefore
12:30we thought
12:32that we should invite
12:33and we should
12:35expose our trainees
12:36our participants
12:38who have come
12:39from all over the country
12:40Sir
12:41you are sitting here
12:43with people
12:44from every part
12:45of the country
12:46from the coast
12:48of Bloshistan
12:48and Sin
12:49up to the mountains
12:50of northern areas
12:52and Kagan
12:53You have a representative
12:56crowd of people
12:57who are our participants
12:58and therefore
13:00we thought
13:00that we should
13:02expose them to you
13:03to your very highly
13:05and esteemed
13:06presence in this academy
13:07As far as our relationship
13:11with you is concerned
13:12we have many relations
13:14and ties with you
13:15of course
13:17your professional excellence
13:19is something
13:21that comes to your mind
13:22but
13:24despite the fact
13:25that you brought
13:27poetry to the punch
13:28despite the fact
13:31that you brought
13:32elegance to energy
13:34despite the fact
13:36that you brought
13:38fairness to force
13:39despite the fact
13:41that you brought
13:43chivalry to sheik
13:44and despite the fact
13:46that you brought
13:47guarantee to your gate
13:49and despite the fact
13:51that you brought
13:52valor to your vigor
13:53you are known to us
13:55in a very very
13:56different context

15:13the relationship

15:48to the profession

15:50but
15:52we read
15:53your punches
15:54your stings
15:55and swings
15:56quite differently

16:04symbol

16:11of deliverance

16:31or a
16:32singer
16:32or a
16:33boxer
16:33it became
16:34the reflection
16:35of those
16:37people

18:58it is
19:04only afterwards

19:14we believe

19:17who joins
19:17us
19:18anybody who
19:19comes to
19:19our fold
19:20is a
19:20revert
19:21and is
19:22not a
19:22convert
19:22because we
19:24believe
19:24that he
19:25is born
19:25on
19:26aql-e-saleema
19:27fitr-e-saleema
19:28he is born
19:29as a Muslim

29:26statement that
29:27appeared in
29:28the press
29:28yesterday by
29:29Mr.
29:29Muhammad Ali

29:30I've been
29:31everywhere
29:31to many
29:32other countries
29:33including the
29:34Islamic countries
29:35but I found
29:36this country
29:36quite different
29:37and the warmth
29:38and the
29:39overwhelming
29:39love and
29:41commitment that
29:42was shown
29:42to Muhammad Ali
29:43was unprecedented
29:44The reason is
29:45very simple
29:46to understand
29:47Other countries
29:48have been there
29:48as geographies
29:49This country
29:51was created
29:52in the name
29:52of religion
29:52and that
29:53is what
29:54makes the
29:55difference
29:55I would
30:04request
30:05Mr. Muhammad Ali
30:09to say
30:12whatever he
30:13feels like

33:31but the
33:31power structure
33:32and the
33:34news media
33:35presented
33:36bad picture
33:37of Muslims
33:38whenever
33:40Muslims
33:41are mentioned
33:42people think
33:43about
33:44Palestinian
33:45guerrillas
33:45whenever

33:48are mentioned
33:48they think

33:53about
33:53Colonel
33:54Gaddafi
33:54and whatever
33:56he may do
33:57they consider
33:58rebellious
33:59my fight
34:02in the
34:02boxing ring
34:03was only
34:04to make
34:05me popular
34:06I never
34:08enjoyed
34:08boxing
34:09and never
34:10enjoyed
34:11hurting
34:12people
34:12knocking
34:13people
34:14down

34:16world
34:16only
34:17recognizes
34:18power
34:19wealth
34:20and fame
34:21according to
34:23their procedure
34:24so I decided
34:26when I first
34:27heard Islam
34:27in 1962
34:30I said
34:32I can use
34:33boxing
34:34as a vehicle
34:35to propagate
34:38the religion
34:39by becoming
34:40the world
34:41champion
34:42accepting
34:43the Muslim
34:44name
34:44living the
34:46life
34:46winning the
34:48people
34:48of all
34:49nations
34:49and after
34:51my boxing
34:52I can start
34:53doing all
34:55I can
34:55to represent
34:56and spread
34:57the faith
34:58so now
34:59that I'm
35:00finished
35:00I'm retired
35:01from boxing
35:02but my work
35:03for Islam
35:04is only
35:05starting
35:06we all
35:07should do
35:08all that we
35:09can
35:09for the
35:10cause of
35:11Islam
35:12and being
35:13in America
35:14a country
35:16which is
35:16basically
35:17Jewish
35:18and Christian
35:19it's a
35:20tough
35:21tough job
35:22propagating
35:23the religion
35:24so a
35:26person
35:27such as
35:27myself
35:28can reach
35:30a lot
35:30of people
35:31through my
35:32history
35:32in boxing
35:33I have
35:34many followers
35:35in China

35:48know the
35:49name
35:49Muhammad Ali
35:50now
35:52this is a
35:53perfect
35:53opportunity
35:54for me
35:55to go out
35:56and work
35:57for the
35:57cause
35:57my coming
35:59here
35:59is helping
36:01to make
36:01me much
36:02stronger
36:02after coming
36:04here
36:04witnessing
36:06people
36:06from all
36:07walks of

36:13ladies
36:14women
36:16children

36:20probably
36:20know
36:21no other
36:22boxer
36:22but Muhammad
36:23this is making
36:25me more
36:26strong
36:26in my belief
36:27in Allah's
36:28power
36:29by coming
36:30here and
36:31seeing and
36:31witnessing
36:32not reading
36:33about it
36:34not hearing
36:35about it
36:35but seeing
36:36with my own
36:37eyes
36:37the reception
36:38that I've
36:39gotten
36:40after becoming
36:41Muslim
36:42I was
36:43raised
36:43a Christian
36:44from the
36:46from the
36:47day I was
36:47born
36:48in 19
36:49years
36:4920 years
36:51old
36:51I was
36:52Christian
36:52and after
36:53hearing the
36:54powerful message
36:55of Islam
36:56I have to
36:57send the
36:57beautiful
36:58unity in
36:59Muslims
37:00I have to
37:01send how the
37:02children are
37:03raised
37:03I have to
37:04send the
37:04procedures of
37:05prayer
37:06I have to
37:07send the
37:07way we eat
37:08the way
37:09we dress
37:09just the
37:10whole attitude
37:12of Islam
37:12was so
37:13beautiful
37:14I said
37:15this is
37:15something
37:15more people
37:17have to
37:17know about
37:18this is
37:19something
37:19more people
37:20would accept
37:21and join
37:22if they
37:23really
37:24understood
37:25whether it
37:26be black
37:27or white
37:27red
37:27yellow
37:28brown
37:28Christian
37:29Jew
37:30Hindu
37:30Buddhist
37:31or atheist
37:31if he
37:32hears this
37:33along
37:33reads the
37:35Quran
37:35hears the
37:36plain truth
37:37about Muhammad
37:38he'll have to
37:39be affected
37:40in one way
37:41or the other
37:42so I said
37:43I use
37:44boxing
37:44as a method
37:46to make
37:47the people
37:47know me
37:48use boxing
37:50as a method
37:50to make
37:51the people
37:51like me
37:52and then
37:53after that
37:54I will start
37:55working for
37:55a lot
37:56because in
37:57America
37:58you can hand
37:59a person
38:00a Quran
38:00you can say
38:02Muslim
38:02and people
38:04may keep
38:04walking
38:05and say
38:05I don't
38:05have time
