Netizens were made busy responding to Haaland's reply, which turned out not to be the only time he used words or prayers that were often said by Muslims.

On several previous occasions, the owner of the 2019 U-20 World Cup golden boot has also often uploaded certain words on social media. Haaland has typed the word Alhamdulilah several times, either on his Twitter or Instagram accounts.

Like when he re-uploaded his celebration with Dortmund's Mahmoud Dahoud. This makes netizens ask about the beliefs they hold.

"Haaland is Islam?" ask account @lanes******y.

"Why do you use King @ErlingHaaland, God willing? Can someone explain... I really appreciate it, O ALLAH," commented the account @Muhammdrizk******ah.

"Are you not Muslim, bro? @ErlingHaaland?," exclaimed @TheRammdhn***.

"Is he Muslim?," asked the account @Alyagu****i

It is not known exactly what faith Haaland holds, but it is possible that Haaland knew the familiar words used by Muslims from Dahoud.
