Marvel Universe is saved by a Muslim character introduced in the Marvel series and people all around the world is in shock to realize that.

NOTE: if you haven’t watch Marvel’s New movie Avengers: End Game, there are spoilers ahead!

A Twitter account has started a discussion explaining how a Muslim man saved MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), and this discussion got about 20,000 retweets, reported The Independent.

Iron Man (Tony Stark) sacrificed his life to defeat the villain Thanos by snapping his fingers and died due to the high energy reaction from the infinity gauntlet.

Iron Man is loved globally for innovative tech superhero which debuted back in 2008.

Back in the day, Iron Man was captured in Afghanistan by a terrorist group called the Ten Rings. He meets a prisoner, a doctor called Yinsen and then befriended with him.

Yinsen placed the electromagnetic device and implant in his chest, which stopped bits of shrapnel from reaching Iron man’s heart. And later, Yinsen was murdered by the terrorists.

A Marvel enthusiast, Twitter user @malihaness made a discovery that the Muslim character who saved Tony Stark’s life in 2008, indirectly saved Marvel universe in the year 2023. This might seem a normal character playing an act of heroism, but this little act proved to be a big one.

Twitter user also cited the Quranic verse as well.

"..And whoever saves one, it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.."(Quran 5:32)
And without realizing the MCU manifested the most heroic act a Muslim could do, saving Tony Starks life that one day on May 2, 2008, Ho Yinsen indirectly ends up saving the whole universe in 2023. pic.twitter.com/ZSoyOjJvad

Yinsen led by example of Islam in terms of seeing the best in people. He knew Starks military involvement in foreign soil was the whole reason that he was in a terrorist camp, also likely why he lost his whole family yet he still spoke to Tony with respect.

He spoke to the side of Tony that wanted good for humanity. He patiently educated him on the what/where his weapons have been going and used for. He looks over Tony's mistakes.

So not only is this an amazing portrayal of a Muslim that isn't simply wearing a tasbeeh or reading the Quran but rather a real Muslim who was an embodiment of the Quran. A person whose actions inspired and changed THE TONY STARK and thereby impacted the Universe. pic.twitter.com/MeiSdWbD9p

Her tweets went viral all around the world, with Muslims and Non-Muslims expressed their love for her beautiful writing.

I never thought I'd say "read this Quranic interpretation of Tony Stark's character arc" but maybe read this Quranic interpretation of Tony Stark's character arc. https://t.co/5Me2Ih4L2z

Thank you for this thread, I have always thought that Yinsen is one of the most under appreciated Marvel characters, the scene you have pictured might not be the most emotional scene in the MCU, but it is certainly the most grounded.

Cheers to you.

Before this, Marvel got a lot of criticism of not welcoming more black superheroes and showing Muslims as a part of terrorist groups, so Marvel has now started taking more black and Muslim characters to their universe.
