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:https://teeth.com.pk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/01/michealjackson_sislam.mp3]

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.

    Why do you people think MJ wont Sing a song of Islam.. its not like the first Person that sang a muslim song when he’s not a true muslim.. well my point of view is that he liked de religion and he wanted to make a song out of it.. or You could say money.!!

    I think that this song is MJ’s voice alright. But the arabian pronunciation of words like rahim and ghafoor are very clear. So according to that, maybe his voice was immitated.

    Hello there eveyone!!

    Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. More people are converting to Islam than any other relgion in the world. It is no big surprise that Michaeal Jackson has converted to Islam, there are other celebrities I know who have converted to Islam like MOHAMMAD ALI, CAT STEVES NOW KNOWN AS YOUSUF ISLAM, AND MICHAEL JACKSONS OWN BROTHER JERMAINE JACKSON. Celebrites are just ordinary people, only popular. MJ is a Muslim now, God has shown him the right path, god will continue to guide people to the right path. So learn a lesson from Michaeal, you fans of MJ!! Read, think, discover, feel, open your mind, dont shut your mind up with false media nuisances that cover up the truth.

    Its not Michael Jackson, He is Zain Bhikha. A South African talent. Visit http://www.zainbhikha.com to download his other Nasheeds too.
    I hope, that MJ has embraced Islam, and if not then Insha-Allah he with all others non-Muslims he will.

    MJ HAS DECLARED THAT HE IS A PRACTISING MUSLIM, THAT HIS PERSONAL BELIEFS ARE SIMILAR TO THAT OF ISLAM. HE HAS SAID SO HIMSELF.STOP WASTING TIME AND DOUBTING WHETHER HE IS A MUSLIM OR NOT. HE IS IN BAHRAIN NOW, NOT IN USA. THERE ARE PROOFS EVEYWHERE MEDIA INTERNET MAGAZINES THAT MJ IS A MUSLIM. EXCEPT IT THAT THE KING OF POP OF AMERICA HAS ACCEPTED ISLAM AND IS LIVING IN A MUSLIM COUNTRY WITH FELLOW MUSLIMS. MAY ALLAH BLESS MJ. AMEN. PEACE.

    1.Its kinda hard for the west to accept an icon like Micheal to be muslim yeah, well if he didnt sing that song, since its a great song where is the so called Zain Bhika the real singer, am sure he would wanna take credit for Allah is Great.

    2. Micheal is an Artist he has been doing songs for the past 40yrs now how could you not possibly believe he could sing the wording so perfectly, i mean take a look at Hollywood those guys immitate anyone and anything, come on guys cant you let a Brother be what he wanna be.

    3. Assalamu Allaikum welcome to Islam MJ this is the best choice you made in ur entire life.

    What ever your belive whether it was MJ or not, you must admit that the words used in the Hamad to praise Allah are so powerfull,true and convincing about Islam and the rightous ways,In short it touches the soul.

    I still belive even MJ came out today and told the world he did write and sing the song you HATERS will still not accept it, its just like you saying Christ will come on the last day to save you and when that day comes you will be the same people that will castigate him and classify him a false Prophet.Its nothing new its just signs and wonders of the last days.

    Assalaamu-alaikum.

    I also came across some info that Michael Jackson has come out with a nasheed. I then tried to find it on the Internet, but all I could find was the nasheed by Zain Bhikha. It is definitely Zain Bhikha singing the nasheed. Zain Bhikha is a South African of Indian descent and has been singing for a while. He has a bit of a sweet voice, perhaps resulting in some thinking that it is michael jackson.

    I do hope that it is true that MJ has accepted Islam or will accept some day. I also hope that if he does, he would produce some good anasheed(nasheeds)!

    (P.S. Nice site and interesting comments. My suggestion for this site, however, is that you place the most recent entry on the top rather than the bottom, as people might not get to read the new entries if they are at the bottom.)

    Was-Salaam!

    Just to clarify, that is certainly not MJ. It is in fact Zain Bikha. If you listen to his ‘hamds’ or nasheeds you will realise that it is in fact on one of his CD’s. It does sound a little like MJ, but it is not. Its from either Zain Bikha’s OUr Wolrd cd or another one. Take care.

    Well, listen guys: The neo-cons in the US is 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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

    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!

    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
