Michael Jackson & Islam ?



It ain’t fresh news but for a upwards of one year there has been a constant rumor that Michael Jackson might embrace Islam, the rumor resurfaced again recently when it was heard that he might be actually moving to Bahrain and is presently funding the construction of a mosque in Bahrain. Just recently I came across Give Thanks to Allah an MP3 file of him allegedly singing a Hamd (an Islamic song).

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

The Hamd is really good, and it really sounds like him but on critical evaluation I feel that it is unlikely that it is MJ himself as the Arabic pronunciation is very defined and clear. Hear the Hamd and tell me your reaction on the whole affair.

that IS mjs song, you ppl never heard his other songs that means..

Interesting web site and worthwhile post. I really enjoy Michael's songs a lot. I've marked it to come back later.

Now I am not sure I completely agree with you on this article. Even so I am normally amenable to new options. Will have to think about it. Solid site by the way.

Listen to the first statement made by the brother jermaine.With this infor we can gather the truth.The news after that is a totally different.We just follow our hearts and that's that.Even if we agree or disagree mj's past away peacefully,pray that he is better after life.What religion he is,he is a good person just like Elvis.

What the heck is wrong with you guys ???! I mean whats so wrong in him accepting Islam. I believe he sang because I want to believe that. (lolx)... Btw I am not a music freak. but come on, he can sing ...! I agree with Saad harris ... Give him a chance.... he has suffered a lot already ... :'(

You guys don't know? C'mon it's written by michael jackson but zain bikha sang it

That is so MJ's voice cuz i compared this song to one of zain's own songs and "Give thanks to Allah" does not sound like zain's voice so it is concluded it is MJ's voice.

That my friend is mj's voice listen to el muhsinin in arabic and in english,how he pronounce then you will know.For an arabic it is their mother tongue but for mj he knows how to make it rhyme so, that is mj voice and give peace a chance so as jlennon tried to say.Let the man rest in peace,want to know ,read the Quran and the sunnah Rasullullah saw.

Why all the people in the world do always talk about the faith of the people? This MJ for example. Why did people not ask MJ directly when he still was alive that what is actually his faith?

Moreover, the faith is between relation ship between human and GOD? In Indonesia for example, there are some of men/women crazy because of the religion. They can not control their selves and finally they get crazy (come into stroke center for teraphy).

There are a thousand people in the world that same sound each other. I also can sing like MJ, really. People of course will think that MJ has not died yet if I will sing now, maybe people will say MJ woke up for singing... haha...

assalamualaikum..ohh man..it is not MJ song? so..the sound .. same what!..i dont care!! ..i know it..that song is sing by MJ..haa MJ ..i know it..hehe(hopefully)...i have a band..Nasyid band..i will use this song for my opening ceremony at my shop ..heheh thanks u all..bye..assalamualaikum!

You have chosen MUSLIM RELIGION thats why today you are dead just like LADY DIANA.
Hope you rest peacefully and may ALLAH guide those guilty ones and bring them also on the RIGHT PATH
AMEEN

YOU HAVE CHOSEN MUSLIM RELIGION THATS WHY YOU ARE DEAD TODAY JUST AS LADY DIANA.
HOPE U REST PEACEFULLY AND MAY ALLAH GUIDE THOSE GUILTY ONES AND BRING THEM ALSO TO THE RIGHT WAY AMEEN

like all others i'm also stunned at the voice,i can't beleive that a rockstar can speak and pronounciate arabic in such a good and comprehensive way.
i had heard this hamd on television before,in ramadan-ul-mubarak.but i didn't recognised him until now.micheal jackson had been astonishing us all by his excellent songs,and now he has again gave us a shocking performance.but after hearing the hamd ,i still don't beleive that a worlds biggest rock star can convert to islam.many other,before me,said that it's someone else but untilll and unless we see with our own eyes no one can beleive in it.
in a verse of holy quran it is said:"...whether ye hide in your hearts or reveal it Allah knows it all"
If MJ has been converted to islam then it's a very good thing.and if he is still a christian may aalah bless him and show him the right path.Thank you
ALLAH HAFIZ

The song Thanks to Allah was sung by Zain Bhikha!!! A south african talented artists who sings only islamic songs!!! The voice in the song is NOT mickeal jakson

Hi.. my friends.. i dont believe this, that MJ has accepted the Islam... This is true he did alot of mistakes in his life acording to Islam.. but Islam is the religion of peas.
If any one accept the islam during the last breath , that one counts in Islam.. Allah is Qafoor And Rahim.. May be Gad forgive him... He have alot money he can help the muslims to make the mosque and hospitals.. and madrasas for an good islamic education ... i know My God will forgive him... thanks bye..

I know that that is not michael jackson if though it sounds like him because how could he actual pronouce the word ghafful or rahim.

Salam~~ i really like this song.. i `m sure is really michael jackson voice.... i know that ... i trust .. michael JS is change .... Allah give all of the world Haydaryat ... SAlam all

ALHAMDULILLAH. We are all born MUSLIMS is just that the kind of Family we meet ourselves change that. THANK ALLAH (GOD THE MOST MERCIFUL)for showing MICHEAL JACKSON his light.+2348032555765

The singer is Zein Bikha. it has nothing to do with MJ.

Think You GOD.
I Wish I Can See Him.

Think You GOD.I Wish I Can See You Now.

AT FIRST I WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS OF MJ BEING A MUSLIM. WHEN I TOLD ABOUT THIS TO MY PARENTS, THEY TOLD IF HE HAD EMBRASSED ISLAM HE WOULD HAVE CHANGED HIS NAME. DONT LOOK AT HIS PAST. ABOUT THE NASHEED 95% IT SOUNDS LIKE ZAIN AND 5% IT SOUNDS LIKE MJ

I`m sure he`s not MJ.I`m a music whiz.I listen 2 music all day long & I`m not mistaken.I`ve never been.Any way when ask the other poeple in my country about it they`ll all say it`s not true just look at him & all the things he`s done!! It`s not really matters 2 me.If it`s true lucky him!! And God 4give any1 he wants WHOEVER.

DOES IT MATTER???? WHAT OTHER MUSLIMS HAVE ACHIVED???? IT IS ALL ??????????????

Assalamualaikum! I was once a devoted catholic from Philippines. I worked in Bahrain for half a year with my band. I really loved Bahrain. It changed the way I looked into Islam. Now I lived in Indonesia as a Muslim married to a perfect Muslim woman. If Allah opened our eyes, we see the real world and the truth. Our hearts surely follows. MJ also deserves a change. Maybe Allah gave him a chance. And hey, I consider Bahrain as a Paradise. Allahuakbar!

may ALLAH give him hidayah..

May Allah bless us all

Love Micheal and may Allah direct him
am very hapy 4 him being a muslim, hope he will be 4ever

Salamin Aleykum.My name is Ilahe.am a muslim girl. i think it doesnt matter somebody is muslim somebody christian. But we believe the same God. We believe ALLAH.i believe that MJ is the singer of this music. he is a muslim.i am very happy that am a muslim.because islam is the reiligion which means friendship freedom and which cause to help to people. thanks for attention.

ASSALAmwalekum,
I will be very much happy if MJ will convert into islam god blessed him may ALLAH shower his blessing on MJ and may all his problems be Solved.
these lines are from Sohail and i agree with him but . .
as mary says "
THATS NOT MICHAEL JACKSON’S VOICE. THAT IS SOME 1 ELSE.IT IS IMPOSSIBLE ON ANY NEW JOINER TO ISLAM TO SPELL THE ARABIC LETTERS PERFECTLY".
THATS MY VIEWS AND ALLAH KNOWS THE TRUTH.

ASSALAmwalekum,
I will be very much happy if MJ will convert into islam god blessed him may ALLAH shower his blessing on MJ and may all his problems be Solved.

Asslaamwalekum,
I am very much happy that MJ has accepted islam God blessed him .......................

A.O.A
I THINK THAT WE ALL SHOULD WELCOM MJ IN OUR BROTHERHOOD. WE HEARD BOTH MJ & ZAIN THERE IS A LITTL BUT CLEAR DIFFERENCE IN THEIR VOICES. WE CAN CNFIDENTLY SAY THAT ITS MJ'S VOICE.
MAY ALLAH BLESS MJ WITH ALL HIS GIFTS.

je m'appelle ayman mellouki j'ai 17 ans .Je suis tres heureux pour l'islame de monsieur michael jackson et salut

Salam Alaykum ppl
This Nasheed was sung Zain Bhikha and even the way he pronounces Allah's names its obvious its a muslim guy and who has been in Islam for a looong time.If Michael Jackson has converted then Allhamdulillah But Muslim ppl don't get too excited for nothing.Wait First atleast let him stay in Islam for atleast a year.....Then we'll know.
And Again THE SINGER IS ZAIN BHIKHA FROM SOUTH AFRICA

I don't know why cant you ppl accept Michael Jackson as a Muslim. Why do u keep on proving that hes not one of us.Just stop arguing and accept the truth, i know sometimes when ur loved ones do something strange it's hard to accept it but u gotta accept whats th truth. And once one becomes Muslim Allah gives him the correct and clear QURAN pronunciation, so don't spread rumors and become Muslims.

Assalamolaikum everyone,

1.Enough publicity to Michael Jackson..MJ joining not joining making no diff to the Light of Islam InshaAllah..

2.Nausheed sung by ZAIN BHIKHA is a known fact...however im not much interested in who sung it..What im interested in is that its sung very beautifully and frm the deepest corner of the heart...
Allahamdulillah fills the heart with feeling that states the greatness of God!!!!

I think the one whos singing the song is Zain Bhikha and i do suspect of the Embracing of Michael Jackson but that nthing is impossible on the Almighty SWT as u know, so if it's true or false this is something between him and his God as i believe weather celebrities or normal people they're just same.

Asslam-o-Alaikum!

This is great that Micheal embrace the true religion "Islam".

May Allah gave him all kind of bessings.

! AMEEN !

Well, listen guys: The neo-cons in the US are too well-known for carrying out propaganda. These days the enemy no.1 is Islam. That explains MOST of the attacks on Islam, or anything or anyone that promotes it. Now, the latest in this series is about Pat Tillman, who was assassinated in Afghanistan because he was voicing his opinions against the war. But in the end, truth prevails, always. And what more, the culprits will have to pay a heavy price for all the pains and suffering and lies they committed.
