Lots of rumors about a conversion, but I don’t think it was ever confirmed. That article quotes extensively from the Sun, the Brit tabloid.
I feel old saying this, but you really can’t explain to the younger generation how much of a worldwide phenomenon Michael Jackson was in his heyday. What entertainer can even compare now?
johnpi 5:22 pm on June 25, 2009 Permalink |
True that. He was huge.
The integrity of his conversion might be visible in his funeral service…as a convert myself, so far, I have never had to attend a funeral service in my deen, alhamdulliah. Is there ritual?
Muse 6:16 pm on June 25, 2009 Permalink |
There is ritual in the way the body is cleaned and shrouded, but that part of it probably wont be publicized (at least, I hope to God it isn’t). As for the actual burial itself, the more public aspect of the whole process, the body is placed in the grave facing Mecca and the mourners pray the Fatiha prayer over the grave. There might be other rituals that I’m not thinking of.
Regardless of whether he converted or not, I hope he had some peace in his heart before he passed on.
Abu Noor 8:46 pm on June 25, 2009 Permalink |
Other than washing the body and the burial, the actual ritual that is performed with regard to the death of a Muslim, and the obligation of the community with regard to that death is Salat al-Janazah. If Michael Jackson was a Muslim, Salat al-Janazah will be performed for him.
However, it is not at all unusual especially among Blackamerican converts in my experience for there to be some kind of mixed service, as different family members may wish to have a Christian service or have their pastor preside over a service for their deceased family member. Alhamdulillaah I have been at many funerals where the family, although they had their own kind of service, would allow the Muslim community to perform Salat al-Janazah for the deceased in respect to their wishes.
johnpi 10:34 pm on June 25, 2009 Permalink
You’ve raised an interesting point here. The family response is sometimes more about themselves dealing with the death than about the deceased. I recall that when my grandmother died, my mother was so disturbed she didn’t even hold a funeral.
Naila 1:42 am on June 26, 2009 Permalink
Abu Noor, thank you for that link to Jermaine Jackson’s news conference. That pretty much confirms for me that he converted. Coming from a Jehovah’s Witness background, his brother calling on Allah in a public conference seems a pretty clear message.
Naila 1:52 am on June 26, 2009 Permalink
Oops, I forgot about Jermaine Jackson’s conversion to Islam…
In that case, i am back to unconfirmed reports that Michael was Muslim.
More the point, maybe, what a sad, sad loss. All the scandals aside (and I never quite believed them), his talent was a gift from the heavens. Coincidentally, I recently introduced my son to Jackson’s works from the early 70s when he (and his brothers) was more R&B. I played those today and they brought tears to my eyes to hear those today.
I hope he is in peace tonight.
My heart aches for his children. I cannot even imagine what they are going through. A parent’s WORST nightmare is to leave your children before they can stand on their own two feet.

It’s amazing how his child molestation charges are somehow redeemed just because he’s iconic and made good music once upon a time. It’s exactly this sort of star struck reaction that allows celebrities and people in power to commit such acts. They feel they’ve earned the right, I guess.
But he sang some songs people like, so I guess it’s all good.

Clay, You should thank Allah that you were presumably born Islamic, because you sound like the sort of person who believes every word he reads in the papers, which would have guaranteed that you would not have been very muslim friendly if you were a non-muslim (because of how the papers portray Islam). Keep this in mind next time you jump to wild conclusions and judgment.
MJ was a musical genius who respected the common people despite his extraordinary status. There are people who haven’t achieved even a fraction of what he achieved and they treat others condescendingly. A man who remains humble and respectful, Kind and compassionate, even after monumental achievement, is a real muslim! As a musician and producer myself, I pay my deepest respects to an extraordinary man, and I hope he did actually convert before his death and so I pray that Allah grants him eternal peace.
BuzzK 12:06 pm on June 26, 2009 Permalink |
Yes. MJ was a self-proclaimed Peter Pan who never wanted to grow up. Being a childhood star and pushed by family into the spotlight, one can easily understand and forgive him for that.
A twelve year old in a man’s body, a man with fame and millions of dollars, is an easy mark for predators. I think that is probably what happened. I doubt MJ ever matured enough to have a libido. What a sad soul.
Too late to apologize for the way people chewed him up and spit him out.

I am deeply saddened by the news of this loss. Michael Jackson was a legendary icon who felt like someone I’ve grown up with from childhood. His music influenced everything we hear today, the 1st black star to hit mtv, he was truly the greatest performing artist of my lifetime an there will be no other greater than MJ himself! Muslim or not, he deserves a dignified burial. Alot of jokes have been made already about his death, all I have to say upon this matter is what goes around, definatley does come around. The man was MISUNDERSTOOD and most importantly INNOCENT. Do your research and you’ll find he was acquitted of the charges of child molestation, not to mention remained adament of his innocence, the people who brought the charges against him were money hungry! May Allah grant him Jannat.

I use to be a regular poster on many of the Asperger E-lists. Jackson would crop up now and again as a topic, as an example of how oddballs face unfair treatment simply for being socially different — something most people with AS experience and thus sympathised with. I liked ‘Beat It’, but I was never a big pop fan. I’m still shocked and saddened by his passing. He was HUGE after Thriller.

He is passing along third hand information which is incorrect. According to brother Dawud:
“A November 21, 2008 Sun (UK) article spread internationally stating that Michael had adopted the religion of Islam through friendship with both myself and my colleague Idris Phillips during recording sessions in Los Angeles.
For the record: Though our professional circles did cross-over slightly with various common professional acquaintances – I never had the honour or pleasure of meeting Micheal Jackson personally, nor did we ever correspond on matters of our professions, personal lives or faiths.”

The thing that makes me sick is that if a Black man becomes a Muslim, then huge amounts of non-black so called ‘muslims’ immediately start to question if it was in fact a ‘genuine’ conversion and should the revert be trusted and accepted as a ‘real’ muslim? Who are they to question this? They should praise Allah for the fact that a new brother/sister has joined the Ummah!
if a white male or female becomes a muslim, they rejoice and then try their best to marry him/her so they can have sex with them. if a black man or woman reverts then there is instant and ongoing suspicion about the sincerity of the conversion, and the revert is kept at a distance and not embraced into the islamic community like a white person would be. They want to talk about music being haraam – WHAT ABOUT THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR???
This says alot about the spiritual mind set of non-Black so called ‘muslims’. They need to stop being such hypocrites themself and start reading a Qu’ran which they can fully understand – instead of just following Islam from what they hear some ignorant worshipper say – and that includes their parents.
Yes, there is no racism in ISLAM – but that doesn’t mean to say that a person who call him/herself a ‘Muslim’, cannot hate Black people – even other Muslims!
Allahu akbar. May brother Micheal be showered with Allah’s blessings and love.
As salamu alaykum.
Jaemon 10:52 pm on June 26, 2009 Permalink |
Dear the truth monger,
I think we all celebrate it when we see Mulims or any color — I personally feel very joyful and euphoric when I see a new black convert, going back to their roots and realizing the Truth, after being wronged for so many generations. Just yesteday actually I saw many clips of black musicians and rappers who have converted, Alhamdulillah. It makes everyone that I know very happy – its a blessed thing to see in the community….may Allah SWT bring us all closer to the stright path. It takes everyone little stpes, and I hope with all my heart Michael was taking them personally in his life as well. He was an intensely private man, and religion is something in the heart, not just words someone declares.
I hope you can shed away the negative impression about black converts. I haven’t seen or heard of such a reaction ever before! I have always seen people celebrating it and being in awe when more of our brothers and sisters embrace Islam, submission to the One God. Alhamdulillah, whenever I have met an African muslim, I always get so impressed at their humbleness and soft spoken nature, their peace with the surroundings
I say this very frankly…

My question is, why speculate about the faith of a man who never said he was Muslim publicly, either himself or through his reps (as far as I know, please correct me if I’m wrong)? We don’t “takfir” people who say they’re Muslim, so why call someone Muslim who never publicly claimed to be?

Michael Jackson was son of God not Christein or converted muslim.These all are man made religion if not clear read books how God has created this world ,which religion is the oldest God wants religion to bring people close to each other not fight .God bless his soul and he rest in peace away from these kind people who pull people for religion rather than saying prayers or saying good words for the person.He was son of God,son of his parents nothing to talk about religion .Religion teaches us to live happily and let others live happily.
Nasser 7:16 pm on June 27, 2009 Permalink |
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are not man made religions. They were from Prophet Abraham pbuh. All recurring message to pray to one God. God sent prophets and books to remind us of this. Our purpose in life is very short and is to believe in the unseen, the last day, to do good works, and tell each other the truth. -thats it. If you think religion is man made then you need to open your eyes and see the miracles of life everyday. Real religion brings people together.
The truth monger 1:02 pm on June 26, 2009 Permalink |
to Muse,
I have read articles that state brother Micheal accepted Islam in the company of other Muslims. These Muslims were actually named – and some of them were famous musicians. His brother Jermaine, another muslim brother, has also stated his conversion publicly.
If these stories were lies, why haven’t those Muslims come forward to challenge their authenticity and condemn brother Micheal for openly using their name for slanderous tales? The reason they haven’t is because the stories are TRUE! So, just accept it.
So many so called ‘muslims’ have a disease in their hearts – and that disease is called HYPOCRISY. Funny thing is, they are so deep in their hypocrisy that they don’t even recognise it any more, and it comes out in their words and deeds. They need Allah.
The future of Islam in the western hemisphere will undoubtedly be anchored and cemented by Muslim converts of African origin. Don’t fight ad/or doubt it. Help to ensure that the light of Islam shines brightly in the west and work with your African Muslim brothers & sisters to do Allah’s work.
So Muse, are you going to give takbir now – or are you still in suspicious doubt and distrust regarding your Black muslim convert brother?
As salamu alyakum
Safia 1:29 pm on June 26, 2009 Permalink |
“If these stories were lies, why haven’t those Muslims come forward to challenge their authenticity ”
They have done so. Yusuf Islam , and Dawud Wharnsby
And Michael Jackson never said anything about converting, so he wasn’t attributing lies to people. It was a story started in a tabloid, the Sun, and it spread from there.
Muse 2:03 pm on June 26, 2009 Permalink |
Lets take the rhetoric down a notch, shall we? Racism within the Muslim community is no doubt a real issue, but this isnt a context in which it applies, especially because (as you can see in this thread), most Muslims are happy to believe that Michael was one of them regardless of his race.
My point is simply that we should not speak about a man’s relationship with God, an intensely private issue, when he has made no statements about it himself, and will unfortunately never be able to do so again. I pray that God, in His infinite Mercy, will forgive his sins and accept his soul no matter which religious camp he belonged in. His matter is with God now, and we should refrain from speculating about that which we know nothing about.

If he had converted to Islam, Alhamdulliah then, and as a show of respect, I recite the Al-Fatiha for him.
If otherwise, I then extent my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. May God Forgive him. Million thanks for the music and rest in piece, brother.

I was so worried, until now when i search this website that i fully agreed with Micheal’s conversion to Islam, i really missed him infact since that same day, i was listening to his music, so the thing that we shall do for him is MAY ALLAH (SWA) reward him with Jannath Firdausi, AMEEN

despite reports of him converting to islam, im still not convinced as it has never really come out of MJs mouth. Remember these reports came out of the BRITISH and AMERICAN PRESS which could have been rumors. im sure if he really did convert you would of heard about it alot more.
Also does he pray 5 times a day?
has he visited Mecca?
did he understand Islam?
i guess the funeral service will tell, its most likely going to be a christian service, but does it really matter? I dont judge people by what RELIGION or COLOR they are. Michael Joseph Jackson was the greatest musical talent on earth and he will always be remembered. may ALLAH be with you MJ

i think u all muslim fanatics are gone terribly wild u just dont see anything other then religion thats why u muslim freaks are behind every community in the world .what will u get if he has converted to islam now.when he earned all his fame he was a christian and in the end days of his life when he was totally ruined and was under immense debt he converted to islam,this shows that if u r christian GOD is with u and gives u all the blessings of the world and when u convert to islam u get ruined beacuse allah just cant help you because he himself is helpless.i dont know weather he was converted to islam or not ,but i would hope that he had converted to islam so tht all of the destruction of his glorious life goes to his exceptance of islam,because where ever islam goes it just do destruction and can nothing good for anybody but to destroy the peaceful lives of the people.

Zeeshan, please, this is an Islam website. What has happened is absolutely written by God. If you’re saying that when he converted his life fell apart, then, you’re saying that your God do not love and care for other people except to those who follow your God? Allah SWT loves every creature he made. Do not insult Islam. You’ve gone too far.

MJ a great soul and and may he rest in peace ,and may the muslim fanatics ,fundamentalists ,extremists and lslamaniacs stop just arguing abt him that he was a christian beacause thats the only job of islamaniacs to talk abt islam and try to convert everybody to islam ,because they muslims can never take lead in science and technology ,so instead waisting thier time on thinking abt science and technology and they r thinking 24/7 how to convert non muslims to islam.

Hey Zeeshan
Where are you from? What country?
How long have you been a Christian? Are you a Jehovahs Witness?
Can you explain for me how Allah is helpless and does not exist? That is interesting.
Awais 4:03 pm on July 8, 2009 Permalink |
Well Mr Zeeshan since you are a Jehovahs Witness you should know that the rest of Christian world does not even accept your faith.
There is no God But Allah the Almighty (the owner of the imense throne)He is Allah the Lord of Abraham,Issac,Ishmail,moses and all the universe.
Do your self a favour go and ask Allah for forgiveness and convert to Islam If you wish to go to paradise otherwise Jehovah will not be able to save you from the Punishment of Allah

awais i will reply u later.coming to ur question buzzkill i am from a stupid muslim country(i will not mention the name because u know these islamaniacs will behead me if they know where i am living).now coming to ur second question i am convert to christianity from islam.and the answer to ur third question is that i am not a jehovah witness ,i am a protestant.and lastly u wanted me to explain u how allah is helpless well brother allah is the god of muhammad p.b.u.h as mr.muhammad himself is helpless because as u know whnever u say the name of muhammad u send “darood”on him by saying peace be upon him ,so it shows tht muhammad himself didnt even know weather he will be in peace in the heaven or will be in the pain in the hell fire.so he himself want u guys to pray for him so he is helpless,now allah god of muhammad from wht muhammad claim tht he has has bring the message of allah so he himself(allah)is helpless.
Buzz Kill 12:47 pm on July 9, 2009 Permalink |
Thank you for the answers. This thread is really about Michael Jackson so we should end this discussion. My last comment is that a darood is not said for the Prophet Mohammad ( although I appreciate your clever argument). The darood is said for the Muslim who says it. It is a constant reminder that one’s religion is sacred and cannot be taken lightly.
Islam is clear on the basic tenet that one person cannot bear the spiritual burden of another.

To navala Mumin – did you personally witness micheal jackson drinking alcohol or eating haram food? I bet you didn’t did you? Do you and your immediate/extended family all pray 5 times a day too? Like hell they do!
So, instead of looking at the speck of saw dust in somebody elses eye, why don’t you look at the whole amazonian rain forest in you and your family’s own? You don’t even deserve to be called a muslim, you blood clart hypocrite!

FRIENDS, I AM APALLED TO READ ALL THE REACTIONS FROM MUSLIMDS AND NONMUSLIMS. THEY ARE FIGHTING UNNECCESSORY.
THE FACT IS THAT MJ NEVER PROCLAIMED PUBLICLY THAT HE IS CONVERTED TO MUSLIM. IF, AT ALL , HE GOT IT DONE IN PRIVATE. THEN GOD ONLY KNOWS, WHY SO MUCH FUSS ? BE COOL ENJOY LIFE AND HIS SONGS. MUSLIMS ARE ALWAYS CREATE HOOPLA REGARDING CONVERSION- YAAR KAUN KIYA KAR RAHA HAI- KARNE DO- KYON PARESHAN HO RAHE HO- BP KYON BADHA RAHE HO- COOL.

wishful u asked me a question tht how do i know he was not a muslim?wishful the answer is tht r u blind?have not u seen his funeral his funeral was a christian funeral not a muslim funeral.MJ never publicly claimed tht he was a muslim.if he was a muslim then it raises many questions. if he was a muslim then why did not he publically announced tht he is a muslim like muhammad ali did? it means he was ashamed of being a mulsim.and now i ask u another question wishful how do u know tht a secret muslim funeral held for MJ?did u attended the secret funeral ? r u the relative of MJ?did they invite u on a secret muslim funeral?if the answer to every question is “no” then shut up u ignorant and accept the fact.MJ was a christian and a christian funeral was held for him.the christian funeral for MJ is a slap on the face of bloody islamaniacs like u wishful. see ya later aligator.

Well it brings doubt to my mind if he really converted considering he was about to do the london concert…. if he had converted he would have left music…. Well one more thing…. it dosent matter whether he converted or not, if he converted good for him. if not he would suffer…. Allah will decide no point wasting our time…. We dont require famous personalities to propogate our religion… If every muslim acts in the right way and follows the correct islamic way… the world would be a better place and everone would adopt islam… everyone of you is a walking advertisement…. Live your life in accordance to islam..

Mikaeel (Murder) Conspiracy
Michael Jackson (MJ) was known as the most loving person in the world. He gave up most of his assets for charity and all his life, he fought for equality of the African Americans, AIDS victims, Against Drug Abuse, Against Abortion, Against Child Labor and secretly channelled his properties for the hungry children of the world. However, he wasn’t peace at heart. He always think of himself as a child trapped inside a man’s body. Being Peter Pan is all his dream, never to grow up, forever a child. That inspires him to build Neverland – a heaven for children. Children of all ages and races are welcomed to Neverland. MJ had so much love to give.
However, he made a mistake which he didn’t know of the consequences. He saw the peaceful life his brother, Jermaine (Muhammad Abdul Aziz) had as a Muslim – true, Jermaine faced so much pressure that he moved to Bahrain.
In 1989, MJ made a press conference which shocked the world, “I have seen the Islam in the life of my brother, I have read the books about Islam. And I’d love to someday feel the calmness and peace of Islam….”
Since that, MJ’s life was never the same again.
He was accused of so many accusations against child molestation. MJ was not someone who can deal with much pressure as he is a ‘delicate child’. All the extortion and black mail followed after that. Everything he did was being seen as wrong in the eyes of the Media. All these are to influence his fans to hate MJ. If he is hated, then he would not be influencial anymore.
For several years, he stayed in England. Getting motivation from a long time friend, Cat Stevens, who had converted into Islam – named Yusuf Islam. From him, MJ learnt how Yusuf had survived being Muslim. He made friends with a song writer, Zain Bhikha too, who wrote a song titled, “GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH”, which he wanted MJ to sing whenever he is ready. GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH. You can download this song here: http://www.ziddu.com/download/5617143/MichealJackson-GiveThanksToAllah.mp3.html
Following his trial, MJ withdrew to Bahrain, where he was the special guest of sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain’s king. It was then that Michael began to give conversion more “serious thought.”
MJ stayed in Bahrain for approximately 3 years. He studied Islam, the prayers and learn to read the Koran (al-Quran).
Finally, he came back to Los Angeles and in November 2008 MJ had formally converted to Islam in a ceremony at a close friend’s house in Los Angeles.
He perform Haj with the King of Bahrain and son on December 2008.
He had a hidden agenda when he wanted to make a final comeback. He annouced in a press conference on March 2009, “This will be my final concert. I’ll see you all in July….”
He planned that during his concert, he would announce that this is the FINAL concert as he wouldn’t be performing anymore. He will declare that he is a Muslim and will only sing with Yusuf Islam and Friends.
At the end of the concert, he will be singing the song, “GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH” with Yusuf Islam. That is the reason why he chose London as his final concert venue instead of the USA. It was because he thought he could escape the USA’s extortion, and that he could perform with yusuf Islam who is in England.
At 12.30am, 25th June 2009, he hugged his production manager and said, “After reherasing for 2 months, I am finally ready for the concert…”
Before leaving to sleep, he waved his dancers, “It was a good night everyone. I’ll see you all tomorrow…”
The next thing… He was pronouced dead at 2.26am….
When 911 was called, there are so much questions asked. It is as if they didn’t know who MJ is and where he lived. The questions asked are more towards to delay time.
The hospital said the autopsy result can only be obtained after 2 months – very illogical as even the worst African technology could obtain the result in less than 2 weeks.
MJ’s family members opt for second private autopsy as they started to feel something fishy is going on. The result came out in about 4 days – MJ was drugged with high dosage of anaesthetic – drug that brings about a reversible loss of consciousness, if used to much could stop the heart from beating.
Another result which was not aired in the media was, MJ’s stomach is empty of this drug, but his blood were filled with it – same case as the death of Marilyn Monroe.
The private doctors also found many needle marks, afraid to be forced injections given to MJ on his bed.
In CNN Live after a week, Barack Obama was interviewed. And he said, “I love MJ, I grew up listening to his songs. It is a great loss, but rest assured that there is no conspiracy in his death…”
Now, why must a President made such statement before the official autopsy result came out? How would he know that there is no conspiracy without the post-mortem result? Seems like someone is afraid of his shadows.
MJ was known to the world as a person who is against drug abuse. Why must he be addicted to drug, then? If he wanted to commit suicide, why rehearse for his concert? And why will he want to see his dancers the next day?
Enough about his death. I am sure people around the world is not stupid anymore. These supreme power can fool us during the Marilyn Monroe conspiracy, Martin Luther King and Princess Diana. But in this MJ’s case, they left too many loopholes for those who think…!!
MJ’s family was about to give him a Muslim burial with the help of The Brotherhood of Islam. But, the CIA showed up at Neverland’s door – blackmailed them that if they do so publicly, Katherine (MJ’s mother) would be pull off from MJ’s 3 children’s custody as well as MJ’s estates. Instead, they’ll hire Debbie Rowe for the purpose, and the court will be in their favour. So much for democracy and fairness…
Finally, they agreed to let MJ have a Muslim Burial in Neverland. But in condition, must show to the public a Christian Memorial Service, as to prove to the world that MJ was never a Muslim.
So, Staples Centre was just a normal show. That’s why the coffin was closed and sealed.
MJ was buried days earlier. The Gold Coffin was empty. They were about to bury the Coffin according to Christianity ways in Hollywood – as in their deal with the USA Government.
These happened, because the USA is afraid of the rising numbers of Muslims in the world.

This story has Big Foot’s imprint all over it. BF is a known neocon and operates a very clandestine center for the New World Order which the Bush family has been caught up in. Big Foot was the master mind the whole time and alot of people don’t know this about Big Foot: He is actually Arab, he is from Bahrain.
If you find Big Foot, you will find the truth about MJ and about the rising numbers of Muslims in the world. And the Chupa Cabra of course.
