Did Michael Jackson Die As A Muslim?
The biggest news all over the world on 25 June was the death of one of the most famous musical artists in recent history, Michael Jackson. As the hour long television specials, radio playlist tributes, and music video marathons already began on the same day, many Muslims are left wondering, “was Michael Jackson a Muslim?”
The short answer? It’s hard to say.
The long answer? Initially it began with rumors years back that he had joined the Nation of Islam. On top of that, Jermaine Jackson, his brother, is a known and confirmed Sunni Muslim, which added another ingredient into the mix. Read
There is no evidence that he became a Muslim other than some media reports and so we judge on what is apparent and say he was not a Muslim. Where did he pray for example if he was a Muslim? I am sure things like this would have become public. There is also the fact that those who where said to have attended his conversion in the media reports such as Yusuf Islam have denied that they attended any such thing.
i think he said "laa ilaah...." before dieing
so im sure he is in hell
also he was infront of a camera
everyone knows that a true muslime wouldnt do that
right Ibn Khattab
He was a very religious guy. thats all. christian, moslem or what ever!
Its unlikely he is a moslem as he is a pop star. Moslems are not allowed to perform like that. remember Ali ibn Rameez:)
Being a pop star would not mean he was not a Muslim, only that he was a Muslim who sinned. But as I said already there is nothing concrete to suggest he was Muslim and so we should just say that what is apparent is that he was a kaffir and Allah knows best.
Listing the average expense for your family would be appreciated too.
