Muhammad Ali's Advice To His Daughters 
==========================
“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger 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 good look at us,
as i was wearing clothes that were quite revealing,
 He 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 you find diamonds? 
Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
==========================
Where do you find pearls? 
Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, 
covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
==========================
Where do you find gold? 
Way down in the mine, covered over
with layers and layers of rock. 
You've got to work hard to get to 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.”
==========================
This was an incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing.
==========================
This was the story as told by one of his daughters:

Muhammad Ali's Life Lessons Presented Through His Daughter's Eyes
==========================
It's never too late to return to God 
==========================
The glorious Duran Surah An-Nur 24:30-31
==========================
    وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَـتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَـرِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلاَ يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلاَّ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ وَلاَ يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ

 إِلاَّ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ ءَابَآئِهِنَّ أَوْ ءَابَآءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَآئِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَآءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِى إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِى أَخَوَتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَآئِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـنُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّـبِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُوْلِى الإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُواْ عَلَى عَوْرَتِ النِّسَآءِ

 وَلاَ يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّ وَتُوبُواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُون
===========================
 And tell the believing women to lower their gaze, and protect their private parts and not to show off their adornment except that which is apparent, and to draw their veils all over their Juyub and not to reveal their adornment except to

their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their women, or their right hand possessions, or the Tabi`in among men who do not have desire, or children who are not aware of the nakedness of women.

 And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. 
And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.)
