Roberto Carlos is at the center of a reported Islam conversion that surfaced about four weeks after it allegedly happened in Brazil. The claim has spread while he has not issued a direct statement confirming it.
Turkish press reports said the 53-year-old recited the Shahada during a meeting with Sheikh Jihad Hamada in Brazil. That puts the story on a tight timeline: a personal religious claim, a public figure, and no direct response from the man named in it.
Souhaila El Tahiri
Souhaila El Tahiri is part of the same public record. The reports say Roberto Carlos signed his marriage contract with her, and she is described as a FIFA-licensed players' agent who manages players' professional careers and football-related projects. In January, information about their marriage emerged, and the couple later held a limited ceremony on 25 July attended by family members and close friends. Pictures of Roberto Carlos also circulated again on 17 August, keeping the personal story in circulation alongside the conversion claim.
The marriage background matters because the relationship reportedly began on a professional basis before becoming personal. That detail gives the report a clearer path from private work contact to a public family arrangement, rather than treating the latest claim as a standalone rumor.
Ali Sahin on X
Ali Sahin said on X that he met Sheikh Jihad Hamada during a visit to the Brazilian Charitable Union of Muslim Youth, and said Hamada told him Roberto Carlos had been in contact with him for a long time before visiting him four weeks ago. Sahin also used the words “a life full of peace, health and blessing” in his congratulatory post, which is the closest public praise in the file but not the same as a direct statement from Roberto Carlos.
The contradiction is simple: the report is circulating as a conversion story, yet the only direct voice on the record is still missing from the person at the center of it. For readers, that means the safe reading is narrow and factual — the Shahada report is public, the marriage context is public, and the personal confirmation has not come from Roberto Carlos himself.
