beaming with happiness. He announced with fantastic satisfaction that Hakeem Olajuwon

is actually stressed with basketball and invests as much time outside of school as feasible

Qur' an on a daily basis. In the house, at the mosque ... I would review it in airplanes, prior to
games as well as after them. I was absorbing the faith and also learning new meanings each

Ramadan (e.g., avoiding food and also beverage during daytime hours for concerning a
month), which occurred during virtually every season of his career. Olajuwon was noted as
