Statements have emerged suggesting that Roberto Carlos reportedly converted to Islam in Brazil approximately four weeks ago. This information was disclosed by Ali Sahin, a deputy representing the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey. Sahin made the announcement following a meeting he attended with representatives from the Muslim community in São Paulo.
According to Sahin, the details came from Sheikh Jihad Hammadeh, a prominent figure within the Brazilian Muslim community and the vice-chairman of the religious advisory council for the National Association of Islamic Lawyers (ANAJI). Hammadeh informed the Turkish deputy that he had maintained contact with Roberto Carlos. Furthermore, he stated that the former footballer had visited him approximately four weeks prior to the disclosure.
The reports indicate that during this interaction, details regarding the religious conversion of Roberto Carlos were discussed. The information relayed by Sheikh Hammadeh provided the basis for the news circulating about the athlete’s recent religious change. These statements offer the only current account of the conversion, sourced through Brazilian community leaders and subsequently reported to Turkish authorities.
