Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died at the age of 50 after
suffering a suspected cardiac arrest. Luckily, Jackson has converted
into Islam and changes name to Mikaeel.
Michael Jackson has followed his brother, Jermaine Jackson into Islam.
And also other converts or should I say reverts such as Stevie B, Cat
Steven, Muhammad Ali, and maybe Lady Diana supposed she did not die in
accident.
He has return to Allah. May he rest in peace.
Here is the song of Michael Jackson, “Give Thanks to Allah”. It is a
very good song to make us closer to God:

Michael Jackson 'converts to Islam and changes name to Mikaeel'

The singer, who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, converted to Islam
in a ceremony at a friend's house in Los Angeles.
He is said to have sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam
officiated.
According to The Sun, the ceremony took place while Jackson, 50, was
recording an album at the home of Steve Porcaro, a keyboard player who
composed music on his Thriller album.
The former Jackson 5 star was counselled by David Wharnsby, a Canadian
songwriter, and Phillip Bubal, a producer, who have both converted.
A source said Jackson had appeared a "bit down" and added: "They began
talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had
become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming
to the idea.
"An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the
shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief."
Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would
convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday's conversion in
1989.
"When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me
lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and
beautiful," said Friday.
"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that
would give me inner strength and peace.
"I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam.
"He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and
the word of God, we could do so much."

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.
