Muhammad Ali's Advice To His Daughters. by baski92(m): 6:25am On Jun 06, 2016
The following incident took place when Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were not modest. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters.
When we arrived, the chauffeur escorted my sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.
My father took a look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do we find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do we find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do we find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get them."
He looked at me with serious eyes ."Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too."
