Some 16000+ Including World Leaders attend his funeral prayers, at Freedom Hall in Muhammad Ali's home town of Louisville, Kentucky, the venue where Ali defeated ‎Willi Besmanoff on Nov. 29, 1961.

Imam Zaid Shakir, co-founder of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California, led the Janazah. Ali and his family planned his funeral for 10 years, making sure it would honor his Muslim faith.

I've never felt so emotionally sadden to hear about a loss of a famous person/celebrity than the passing of Muhammad Ali. He paved the way for African American fighter and athletes. You cannot underscore this man's importance to the world and how much he inspired it. The reason we refer to him as "The Greatest" isn't cause of how great he was in in the boxing ring, but it's what he did outside the Boxing ring. He was a man of conviction and fought for what he believed regardless of what was in front of him. Think of how many years and generations have passed since he was in his prime and look at how many people still have his quotes in their wall or in their offices. This man left behind a trail of peace, wisdom, positivity and inspiration. He introduced the religion of Islam of the mainstream. I believe that key to Immortality is inspiring those around you and eventually, those around the world. Ali loved life and he loved giving back to those who had far less than him. He never once talked about money cause he never really fought for that. He fought for civil rights and fought for every black man in America and in the world. This man will forever be my hero and someone who I will always aspire to be like.

May Allah grant him a high rank in Jannah (Heaven) and forgive him for any sins he has committed. Amen.
