Well, well, well, It turns out that rumour i heard about Michael Jackson converting to Islam was not a rumour after all.
“Michael Jackson became a member of the black group Nation of Islam, the New York Post tabloid reported.
The newspaper quoted unnamed sources as saying that Jackson became a member of the black Muslim organisation led by Louis Farrakhan on Wednesday night. “The King of Pop is restyling himself Jacko X”. Farrakhan?s organisation, which is controversial because of its leaders? anti-Jewish declarations, would not comment on the report. Jermaine Jackson, another ex-member of the Jackson Five family group, converted to Islam in 1989.”
Now, even though this would be good news under other circumstances, as Michael has a big fanbase, and his converting to Islam could motivate his fans to learn more about Islam and check it out seriously.
But under the current circumstances in which he’s being charged for child molestation, it’s not really the best of times.
I think it kind of gives Islam a bad reputation that people like Michael Jackson or Mike Tyson convert to Islam when they’re in bad situations like these. Michael when he’s being charged for child molestation and Tyson after he was put in jail.
It could get people thinking that Islam is a religion for bad people which is so very untrue.
I won’t say it’s wrong or bad that Michael is converting, it can only be good news, it’s just that the timing is a bit sticky.

[Update: It seems this information is not entirely true. Michael Jackson did ally himself with the Nation of Islam, but it’s not sure whether he converted to Islam or not.]
it is strange that all his problems started about 10years ago, just when his brother Jermaine became muslim.
The powerful lobbies didn’t accept his ties with Black muslims Group of Louis Farrakhan …
Im happy that michael jackson has woken up,and looked in the mirror and said, all my life,what have i proved???? answer hit to his mind..and recieved, nothing.
As he is free to convert hopefully without any knives and axes from martin bashir and the press,with little evidince of his guilt,he should do fine.He is helping his fans out,as i think alot of them are wasting time on how to dance like him,but should see his spiritual part,which will be now Islam.
Im sure he thaught to himself,fans???they may support me in this life time,but what about the other,i will be alone…just alone..JUDGEMENT DAY
i agree with Mohsan strongly
dear Michael salam, congrats for being getting converted to muslim, one thing that i would love to say to you is Islam is for every one and it will keep its arms open for till the end of this world. Getting into islam is a big responsiblity and u recieve infinite problems in the way but thats where the journey bigins………
……………………..Allah haviz
The Muslim people and religion have come under attack in recent years, mostly unfairly, because of a minority of fundamentalist lunatics. The last thing Muslims need is the world’s most famous unrepentant paedophile to join them. I do not think his strange and timely conversion will be welcomed by decent genuine people of the Islamic faith.
THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE MR JACKSON AND KNOWS THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IS ALLAH. AND MAYBE HE (ALLAH) IS GUIDING JACKSON INTO BECOMING MUSLIM FOR JUSTICE OR FOR REPENTANCE- EITHER WAY HE IS NOW A MUSLIM (HOPEFULLY IN HIS HEART)AND NO ONE SHOULD JUDGE HIM WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT REALLY HAPPENED- HE AT LEAST DESERVES THAT JUSTICE- IT IS THE WAY OF ISLAM.
Alhamdu lillah,
I AM VERY MUCH HAPPY WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS GREAT NEWS OF MICHAEL JACKSON CONVERTING INTO ISLAM. AS A MUSLIM BROTHER YOU ARE NOW OUR BROTHER IN ISLAM AND I AM WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST THROUGHOUT YOUR ISLAMIC LIFE AMEEN

allah hafiz
lol……..micheal jackson is not a muslim, it was just a RUMOUR!!! The
only reason micheal jackson was seen with members of nation of islam is that, members had volunteered to protect him and act as his body guards whilst he was out in the public……………AND THATS IT!!!!!!!
the only reason why they decided to do that was probably to get some publicity, since they would get seen with the king of pop.
and they certainly werent sticking up with there beleifs since they are racists and beleive only blacks can be muslims.
“nation of islam” has NOTHING to do with islam,
it goes against everything islam stands for.
Islam is NOT rascist.
nation of islam DISCOURAGES members to go to hajj……
nation of islam believes it is not neccessery to give zakat…..
nation of islam believes it is not neccessery to fast during the month of ramadan………
nation of islam believes it is not compulsory to pray 5 times a day……….
so…………..WHAT THE HELL do they believe in other than hatred against white people.
……..and another thing,islam does not celebs to make it great, like someone mentioned earlier…….Islam is already a great religion.
p.s. mike tyson is a muslim and no should critisize him because of the certain things he does, no one is perfect……
M.I, im sorry to say but u are chatting through your rear end : )
Nation of Islam didnt join Jacko to get attention, JAcko went to Louis farrkhan, because his cousin also converted to Islam fromt he jackson 5.
Nation of Islam tells the black muslim brothers to visit Mecca and to do Hajj. Malcom X went himself and he was the geeza who made the NAtion of Islam.
geez,where have u been M.I???
Did u know M.I,that naoplian from the outlaws who was a rap artist joined NAtion of Islam after 2pacs death in L.A. He also did Hajj. M.I if u have no research then dont send comments to thsi site, u brain washing people. Take care people, im going to do more research on converts!!
EVERY HUMAN MAKES MISTAKE…BUT WE DON’T HAVE THE BLACK N WHITE PROOF THAT HE DID CHILD MOLESTED…
BUT I HOPE HE WILL B A BETTER AMERICAN MUSLIM ONE DAY
Assalamu Alaikum,
I congratulate Jackson for this wonderful thing he have done, this is not just mirracle but its mirraculous, I would like to tell people that Michael Jackson just saw the truth from what he was doing before that is FREE MERCY or FREE MASON I don’t know the right one, but it all means to bow down at evil (Shaitan) Jackson you are now our brother because any muslim is a brother to another no matter what is his race, colour, language and from any part of the world. Please use your knowledge of POPS to express your self as a muslim for people to see and confirm it. Dont panic we are with you always… also his fans are to note that this person has saw the truth, he will not convert just like that this is a serious issue, it will not be announced on other medias because they are all the enemies of Islam, like CNN, BBC, and so on, Please Jackson hold Islam as you will hold eating your food always, pray five times a day, fast in the month of ramadan, give sadaqah, give zakkah, and go to Hajj, and give commands to good things, and stops bad things. This is all what I can say
We love you Michael

Assalaamu Aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Alhamdullilah was-salatu was salaamu ‘Ala Rasoolullah. Wa ba’ad:
So Michael Jackson has joined the Nation of Kufr. The nation of disbelief. The nation of shirk.
May Allah guide him to following our beautifull religion upon the correct path Ameen. Perhaps this stage in his life is a stepping stone in his search for the truth. As was with the likes of brother Malik Al-Shabazz and brother Muhammah ‘Ali and Allah knows best!
Wa salaamu aleykum
Sallam Alaikum,
Dear my brother Micheal, i don’t really know how to express my feeling towards you right know… i appreciate You by being a MUSLIM.. it’s a really huge step u’ve done, it’s the best thing you’ve done in your life, being a Muslim guy, after what you’ve been through in your life, now you’ve found your right way by converted to be a muslim.. Congratulation my brother, i hope that you’ll find the beauty of Islam by the time you go on and be the best of the best… Every memember of the family here sends their congratez for ya… hope god bless u…
Sallam,
“…Tell my servants, those who wrong themselves: Allah forgives sin completely, for verily Allah is most forgiving most merciful…” (Qur’an).
This is Allah who does not have an afterthought of sending any saviour to bear the sin of mankind after saying from the beginning that: “…the son will not bear the sin of the father…every soul that sinneth shall die…” (The Holy Bible).
My dear brother, if you have sins many times bigger than Jacko’s, do not despair, Allah has power over all things- He can forgive all your sins without consulting any body. Everything belongs to him. Commiting sin is at his expense and it is only detrimental to him and no body else, because He posseses all the materials and the plans, therefore to forgive, is His sole prerogative.
People like Jacko and those that are worse than him are always invited to the fold of Islam to repent and follow the Right path.

Al hamdulilahi,A big fish in the net leading to paradise.My dear brother,for God sake dont listen to what people say,or any allegation you could face,cos allh is with you.If every creature on earth gather in assistace to one another to harm you, they will not be able to do so,cos allah is with you,Osama’s issue is criterion enough.
Ma asalam.
hey, people, how can u guys even start such a big fuss over the news that came 4rm a TABLOID?? we should all put the tabloids in a big fat pile and set them on fire..as far as michael and islam’s concerned his big brother (now this is called a primar source) actually stated on THE LARRY KING LIVE that michael had NOT joined the N.O.I..
i would say michael is better off staying christian than actually falling for people claiming they are muslims – They believe totally different things 2 what us muslims would believe- THAT is what dents islam and gives it a bad name, islam is not a joke.
N.O.I is also racist.
I converted to islam Because of the greatest hero of all time ‘MUHAMMAD ALI’ if he was still Cassius clay, i would never become muslim.
And many thanx to MAlcolm X, who converted Ali to islam. And Elijah Muhammad who converted Malcolm X to islam, and build THE NATIO OF ISLAM. ALLAH IS THE GREATEST. Like Ali said, this life is just a Exam for the eternal life. If you live on the ways of Islam, you’le go to heaven in the Life after Death, that is Real life.
If people hear Islam, they think about Terrorism, saddam hussain and Osama bin laden. but Islam is a religion of Peace, ‘Assalamu alaikum’ means ‘peace with you brother’. like our great Leader the prophet Muhammad, who forgave even his enemy’s. like all the other great great prophets, Jezus (isah), Mozes, Jozef, Abraham and all the other great leaders.
So don’t blame all the muslims because of the sins of people like bin laden. thos people will get punished by allah, because i read the whole koran, and there’s nothing writting in it about killing people and terrorism. Sadam hussain was the devil himself, he killed so many people, and he raped every woman he saw. he is not muslim, he’s the devil.
Thanks to the Great great fighter off all Time, MUHAMMAD ALi, i became muslim. i love to be a muslim, because i believe in allah and live after death. i know i am going to heaven, because i am a nice person. and i hope that you wil become a good muslim to, michael jackson. don’t be afreaid of the public, because they don’t know about life after death. peace. assalamu alaikum
alhamdulillah
im very happy to heard that you become our brother.congratulation .Insyaallah you will get Allah’s light.
this is a nasheed for u :
