Micheal Jackson- a Muslim?

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

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

Isn't that for 'black' people?

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

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.

The real question is:

Would it have mattered if Elvis converted to Islam?

Omrow

It would have mattered to him.

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.

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.
