Moeen Ali is an English cricketer representing England and Worcestershire Country Cricket Club. He is the first Muslim and British Asian to captain England in a T20 match in 2020.
Ali revealed that as a teenager, he was not a practicing Muslim. He said, “I never imagined myself as a religious person at that age. I was very relaxed and chilling out at the time. I never imagined myself playing for England with a big beard.”
Later, at 18, the cricketer met a former Christian who had converted to Islam. He asked the man. Why did he become a Muslim when the religion forced marriages and other negative aspects? The man responded, “That’s not your religion; that’s your Pakistani culture.”
Since then, Ali began praying five times a day and fasting for 30 days every Ramadan. He also mentioned that he plays cricket better during Ramadan than on other days.
Who is Moeen Ali’s wife, Firoza Hussain?
Ali married his wife Hussain when he was only 21 years old. However, they did not break the news, and it was only after an English Cricket correspondent broke the news of their marriage.
Later, Ali confirmed his marriage in an interview and revealed that their parents arranged their marriage. It is widely assumed that Ali met Firoza on a cricket tour to Bangladesh.
The cricketer later asked his parents to talk to Hussain about marriage. Soon after, the couple wed in a private ceremony in the presence of their close friends and family. The ceremonies were kept low-key to avoid media attention.
Hussain is a supportive wife who travels to Ali’s international and league matches with him. Hussain prefers to remain out of the spotlight. She is also very religious and is often seen wearing a hijab in public. As she likes privacy in her life, little information about her early life and education is available.
Moreover, the couple’s bond is so strong that she has never visited Bangladesh without her husband, and she only saw her home without him twice in their entire marriage, and only with his permission. Furthermore, as a true Muslim, Moeen never flirted or dated anyone because he was and still is a stringent follower of Islam.
Does Moeen Ali have children?
Ali and Hussain have two lovely children: a son and a daughter. They named their son Abu Baker in honor of Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W’s collaborator and father-in-law.

Likewise, they named their daughter Haadiya. They intended to educate both of their children in religion. He is not only a talented cricketer but also a caring father and husband. Ali tries to spend as much time as possible with his children.
Ali’s family enjoys attending his games. The cricketer’s children and wife accompany him to T20 leagues such as the IPL. Hussain can be seen in the stands with other cricketers’ wives cheering on their husbands.
Moreover, Abu Bakr has expressed an interest in cricket and is said to have a bowling action similar to that of Lasith Malinga.
