Why do we make such a fuss over celebrity conversions?

Assalamu alaikum, After all the excitement about the famous footballer Roberto Carlos embracing Islam, he has now said it's not true. So, I'm wondering, why do we go overboard with joy whenever a celebrity becomes Muslim? It feels too much and not needed. Islam is not in need of celebrities.

The guy probably got paid to say that. Celebs are all about money and attention, not sincerity. Islam doesn't need their shallow endorsement.

It's natural to be happy when someone sees the truth, but we can't depend on them to represent Islam. The Prophet (PBUH) didn't chase after the rich and famous; he taught everyone equally.

True, we need better role models from our own scholars and leaders, not just anyone with fame.

Alhamdulillah for the reminder. We should focus on our own iman instead of celebrity drama.
