Assalamu alaikum,

Masha Allaah Alhamdulillaah. I have heard of this news but never confirmed it. I hope his brother Michael would embrace Islam too. It's really weird because when I was a kid I was really a Michael Jackson fanatic and even hoped that one day he'll be Muslim and now his brother is. Insha Allaah Allaah swt would guide him.

Asslamo Allaikum,

Personally I think we should NOT be fascinated by his celebrity status...I think CELEBRITY reverts can do damage to Islam (as they often ignore Qur'aan and Sunnah); they are very few who I can think of & quote as an example...I know that it can be hard coming from such a background

If Allah (SWT) guides Michael it will be great & if NOT then its his loss & not Allah (SWT)'s or Ours (as Muslims) or Islam.

Lets react when he becomes Muslim; shall we.

BintMuhammad · 02-07-2007, 02:28 PM

Very well said. But there's nothing wrong with wishing or praying for someone to become a Muslim is there?

Asssalamu alaykum,

I think the benefit is that the Media NEVER show Muslims in a good light. The Media were kinda forced into having interviews with Jermaine Jackson because of the public's fascination with him. Everyone called him the "Peace Keeper" whilst he was in the Celebrity Show Big Brother. They wanted to know why he was so calm and how he would mediate with other people and resolve their problems. And Alhamdulillah, it was due to his Islamic beliefs.

Obviously he is not a Scholar, he is a New Muslim. We shouldnt be judgemental if he does something wrong, as long as he doesnt claim those to be part of Islam.

Wasalam.

Muslimah77 · 02-07-2007, 08:17 PM

for this video Brother Mabsoot. All Glory and Praise be to Allah (SWT), the Lord of Honour and Cherisher of the Worlds, who guided Jermaine Jackson and many other celebrities to Islam.

I hope one day the rest of the Jackson family embraces Islam by following Jermaine's example, and support each other in seeking the truth through the teachings of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah.

Allah (SWT) guides whom He wills and He knows best those who will be guided.

From Allah (SWT) we came... To Him we shall return.

May Allah (SWT) guide us, turn to us mercifully, protect us, forgive us and set right all our affairs. May He give us the opportunity of doing every kind of good deed and protect us against every kind of sin. O Allah! Please give us the strength to stand firmly on the path of righteousness.

Ameen.

Asssalamu alaykum,

Jermaine Jackson is a celebrity, Mohammad Ali is a celebrity, Cat Stevens is a celebrity, Malcolm X was a celebrity, Louis Farrakhan ... etc. Why should we get preoccupied by celebrities their status and that of Micheal Jackson? It appears from this discussion, now that certain celebrities embraced Islam their blind following fans will follow them into Islam. We heard that Jermaine has made d'awah to his brother and collectively we know only Allah (SWA) gives hidayaah. So our responsibility as Muslims is to go out there and make d'awah and not leave it to the celebrities to do our job for us.

My stand on musicians is that their wisperings are the wisperings from amongst men (see suah An'Nas) which detract from the message of Allah (SWA) which misleads the youth, which takes the place in our brains allocated for Qalam-Allam. Music should be avoided at all costs, in fact we aught to seek refuge from it constantly.

Here is a link of a group of Muslim rappers called "Native Deen"- Is this d'awah has been reduced to?

May Allah (SWT) guide and shower his mercy upon us, keep us conscious of our Islamic duties and give us the strength to carry them out and stand firmly in the path of righteousness and protect us against every kind of sin. - Insha-Allah Ameen.

SisterAmina · 02-08-2007, 09:04 AM

It is good to know that Jermain converted to Islam, but it is sad to see that he practices Islam wrongly.

Please do not forget, our best example to follow is Rasulu Allah, SAW. So, let´s make Dua that Allah shows Jermain and his unveiled wife the right path. Subhana Allah.....

Salamu Alaikum

Mabsoot · 02-08-2007, 11:32 AM

Assalamu alaykum,

Najmoen, although I share with you your concern, nobody is getting preoccupied by celebrities here - on this website. Nor are we promoting his or anyone else's music. As far as I know, he has not said anything wrong about Islam in that video.

However, seeing as he was in the public view a lot in the UK, and with many people asking about his Religion, it was good that he spoke about Islam. This could have only been positive for Muslims as all other news was about the fabricated and exaggerated news about Muslims not integrating, and being terrorists etc.

Also, I would point out that Malcolm X was not a Celebrity, but a prominent Speaker for Human rights in the USA as part of the Civil Rights movement. Obviously that doesnt mean he was an Islamic Scholar or that we learn Islam from him. It does not matter if we mention these things, as long as nobody makes them to be Scholars.

Now we have ex-Taliban captured Journalists, Ex-Christian Preachers from the US and so forth made to give Islamic talks, that is wrong as they should not be doing what they are not qualified to do, it is the domain of the Ulema' and people who have properly studied Islam.

Wasalam.

Mabsoot, Shukran for your possitive reply,I accept what you say entirely but please do not misunderstand, I was not knocking the positive message in the video, nor the forum. What I meant is that we as a community, myself included should guard against falling into the trap the stereo-types, of fans and fan clubs (seudo idol worship) as a general statement. Otherwise, its all good and the message shines - Allahu-Akbar.

Jazak Allah Ghyer

Allah Bless you brother Mabsoot for your reply to GlobalPeace
some muslim born are not perfect muslims so how can we blame new muslim for any think that contradict with Sunnah and i can understand form brother's comment that he means touching woman or whatever
remember brother that banning Alcohol in Quran was in three steps

Abdul Hasib · 02-09-2007, 02:14 AM

Mashallah for brother Muhammad Abdul Aziz. A lot of singers/musicians become muslim! Like Dawud Wharsnby Ali, Yusuf Islam, etc. who knows if it'll be P. Diddy next! (Inshallah). The more muslims, the more the message is spread brothers (and sisters)!

OnlyOne · 02-09-2007, 04:40 PM

Alhumdulillah, that is awesome. I actually like seeing celebrity reverts because it can show up in the media, but I doubt they'll report the story in the correct light. I'm glad there's a video to actually confirm this because I probably wouldn't have believed it right away. Insha Allah Allah (swt) will guide him to implement the Qur'an and Sunnah correctly and may his journey be made easy for him.

I hope that Michael Jackson will Insha Allah see the TRUE Islam, rather than the group he is in now. Allah (swt) guides who he wills and Allah (swt) misguides who he wills. The best we can do is make du'a leave the rest to Allah.

Globalpeace · 02-12-2007, 12:08 PM

Asslamo Allaikum,

Ditto to Br Mabsoot & Sister Hurul-ein...

Furthermore, there are lots of movie stars, ex-singers beginning to practise Islam throughout the Muslim world (sub-continent & Egypt in particular)...& I echo the words below (for celebrity Muslims beginning to practise or reverts)...

Jazakullah Khairun for putting it eloquently.

The_truth_pls · 02-13-2007, 05:48 PM

And I love israel so much, their food the people.. can you imagine him saying that? but whats the different between the two? nada, one is opressing Palestinian muslims the other Indian Muslims. Even if i loved a country involved in oppressing muslim I would keep it in my heart and not reveal it to the media, keep istpersonal but these people take the pressure of countries like india, bad PR for Kashmir casue good PR for Indian oppression. He should have said "I wouldn't go to India, as my muslims brothers are being oppressed by the government there". But the fact is that India is the in thing these days big market for the west. These celebrties have so much much more responsibility to represent islam than any normal muslim. Did you notice how he kept making the hindu prayer gestures.. those ignornat of islam must have quickly made a connection of his clasping his hands together with hindusim..must be thinking..yeah same religion as hindusim this islam is.

califmuslimah · 02-15-2007, 09:28 AM

he is still a muslim. InshAllah one day he will learn more about Islam and follow it more correctly. Also inshAllah, Michael will become muslim and this with help change his life for the good and make him a better person. Allah guides whom he wills.

Thanks to Allah,he has been a muslim,too.What a nice news!I hope Michael Jackson will be a good muslim,too.In media,it was said he had been a muslim.Then,it was a wrong news.If he reads Quran,if he reads Islamic books which his brother gave him and if he looks at the nature wisely and he listens to his heart,there isn't any reason not to be a muslim!Allah is with us.

Over the few weeks, i've engaged in some precise dialect with a non-muslim of quran/bible ideas. One idea mentioned was the description of rasul and his view vs isa as. I've replied with quoting quran on how glorious both prophets are and their miracles. I've also replied with points that they've made in quran and bible, that they are only in this dunya to preach allah's word and allah's word only... Although i've been having this one problem where as to he asks for a physical description of rasul. I've done some research, and the only information i've come up with is that, rasul's physical description isn't described in quran because when people made portraits of these specific prophets, some people would take them for worship. This may only be a guess but isn't rasul's description like the one's of abraham and musa as??.. please help me clearify this so that not only i know this, but so that i can preach what's correct.

Brother Mohamed abdelaziz formerly known J. Jackson, I am deeply touched first by his conversion to islam and foremost by his way of expressing the inner peace and tranquility that he now enjoys. As muslims, we have been telling the non muslims that, this great faith, does not represent the violence that it is being constantly potrayed. On the contrary, it exalts and endears the blood of humanity whether it be muslim or non muslim. I, as a proud muslim, would like to express my deepest gratitude to Almighty Allah for guiding and showing the light to this wonderful and kind being , and also pray to Allah that he guides his brother Michael to the fold of islam.
