SUN EXCLUSIVE: MICHAEL JACKSON has become a Muslim - and changed his name to Mikaeel.
The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a pal's mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun can reveal.
Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate - days before the singer is due to appear at London's High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheik.
A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album.
The star - whose hits include The Way You Make Me Feel - was spotted looking "a bit down" by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam.
Yes I read about it too, Is really wonderful having Michael as muslim brother, Allah yasa ya dore Amin!
Alhamdulillahi!
I have always wanted him to be a muslim. I had a crush on him when I was a wee lass and he was the michael jackson in those days.
I hope this time its for real cos i heard it many times before just to discover that its rumour.
I am happy for his reversion and i wish him all the best.
Assalamu alaikum,
Masha Allah.
Goodness gracious me!!! Am scared of my uncle. Last two wks he was telling his daugther off for putting hair extensions because they were haram. And his daugther amidst tears told her father that she taught women were safe for women to put on extensions if they were on their monthly. And he said no. He said asked what was her purpose of adding more har when she already had quite a long hair? She said because it was fashion and she saw it on a celebrities head and she taught it looked beautiful and she wanted to try it.
He said, he remembered during his hay days how they were so carried away by "the Jacksons". They wanted to grow the Afro. They wanted to leave their shirts buttoned open and lift the very long collars of their shirt. They wanted to wear the hipstars and the do the Billie Jean walk. Then he said to his daugther today where are the Jacksons? They fall came around 1975. He said even one of the Jackson boy is now a muslim. I dont even know his name. Now this is where I quickly butted in: oh Uncle Ibrahim he's called Jermaine. My uncle just gave me that kind disgust look, anan akafi kaudi. He said where is Michael Jackson today? A person who had everything and stardom! He went further to say: Life sees nothing of Michael Jackson now and he is now lurking somewhere in Bahrain. He said, maybe the reason God sent him off there is to realise and make quick adjustments of his life before time is up! He said watakila ma yana nan ya karbi musulunci? After reading this; I am left with my jaw dropped! Just two wks ago and I end up reading this today.
He ended telling his daugther off. To, ke kinason irin gashin Tina Turner but you fail to remember the religious relevance or non relevance of attaching anything artificial to your body. Ai ga sakaryar aunti ki nan Hafsy, ai sunga abin dake kanki basu miki fada ba. I say for where? I land your house today and said to him, for you to know har dasu Tina Turner, you ma you carry style chop life wo!
Allah dai yasa mu dace.
