During his last trial did he not join "Nation of Islam"?

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Just what you need, another child molester (allegedly).

Isn't that for 'black' people?

The frown of a friend is better than the smile of a fool.

It is said that his new name will be Mikaeel, after the Archangel Mikaeel.

Report: Michael Jackson converts to Islam

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Pop star Michael Jackson has converted to Islam at a ceremony in Los Angeles attended by Yousef Islam, the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, sources say.

Jackson, whose once-amazing career has been eclipsed in recent years by reports of bizarre behavior, as well as legal and financial troubles, is said to have changed his name to Mikaeel and taken the shahada -- or made a declaration of belief -- as part of his conversion to Islam, Al-Arabiya said Friday.

The religious ceremony reportedly took place at the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro, who composed music for Jackson's iconic "Thriller" album.

There is a six letter word called gossip. It may or may not be true. The real question is does it matter?

The real question is:

Would it have mattered if Elvis converted to Islam?

I think not ... and why are we using the past to prove something?

It would have mattered to him.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

True, very treu but may be not to us as much... all we could have done was use him either as an inspiration or buy his albums or whatever...

this is why I don't like using Past and display a possibility, it makes you walk on a wire, you jump to conclusions, become TOO concious of it... and use it to elaborate something else (?)

Is it allowed to take the names of angels?

MJ has changed his name to Mika'il and I have a friend called Jibreel. Both are converts. Is there any precedent for this?

Every so often, I come across news reports of Michael Jackson converting to Islam. This is not the first time.

May Allah shine sweet faith upon you this day and times beyond. May your heart be enriched with peace, and may your home be blessed always. Ameen.

I don't know of any verse or Hadith against that. But I would be vary about calling someone say, Rabb (loosely: Lord in the Divine sense) or Aziz (loosely: Almighty). They are reserved for Allah. We can add Abdul or Abdurr on the beginning and make Abdul Rabb or Abdul Aziz or Abdur Rehman.

In the nicest possible way Ed, you are such a teenage girl! No one cares.

Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

The journey of 1000 miles must begin with a single step.
