"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Heb 9:27)
It seems as though all the world is praising Muhammad Ali, former boxing legend and devout Muslim. Many of his followers are saying that he is in heaven because of his faith in Allah and his "good works". Unfortunately, Allah cannot save anyone and neither can good works. Watch: The Fly Trap (below).
As a Muslim, Muhammed Ali rejected the cross of Christ and the only sufficient sacrifice for our sins. "[Jesus] who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed." (1 Peter 2:24). "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Cor 21). Sadly, Muhammed Ali (unless he repented and trusted in Jesus Christ, our sin-bearer, for the forgiveness of sins before he died) died in his sins and is not in heaven today, nor will he ever be, but rather he is now awaiting the final judgement when he will be cast into the lake of fire (Hell) forever!

Description:
In 1964, a young boxer named Cassius Clay ("the Louisville Lip") won an upset victory over Sonny Liston. Later that year, Clay changed his name from Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. to Cassius X, then to Muhammad Ali. Ali initially joined the nation of Islam (promoting "the Honorable" Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X) and refusing to be drafted into the Vietnam War. In interviews, Ali said that he changed his name because "Clay was a white name" and "a slave name," while "Muhammad" and "Ali" weren't. Ali eventually left the Nation of Islam and became an orthodox Sunni Muslim, though still later he became a Sufi. Following his death in 2016, Ali had a Muslim funeral and an Islamic prayer service.
Oddly enough, Muslim sources say that Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, was white, and that both he and his son-in-law Ali owned black slaves. Even more strange, Muhammad Ali was originally named after Cassius Marcellus Clay, the nineteenth-century Kentucky abolitionist who helped convince Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Hence, the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time was deceived by Islam. In this video, David Wood discusses how Muslim preachers took advantage of Ali's ignorance of his own history and of the history of Islam.
According to the Apologetics Index, the Nation of Islam is:
"A sect of Islam. Considered a hate group, because of its belief in black supremacy. The movement's current leader is Louis Farrakhan, who is notorious for his racist and anti-semitic hate speech."
"White people are potential humans ... they haven't evolved yet." (Minister Louis Farrakhan in His Own Words) ADL

One of the Nation of Islam's early leaders, Elijah Muhammad taught that white people were Devils created by an evil scientist.

"Farrakhan made many shocking claims during NOI’s Saviours’ Day keynote address in February [2019] at the United Center arena in Chicago. ...The preacher of Islam then appeared to mock one of the most famous passages from the Bible, John 3:16: 'God does not love this world. God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on a cross, there was no Calvary for that Jesus,' Farrakhan said."
