Re: Shock Dead, Everybody's Gone Mad: Reflections on the Death of Michael Jackson
the reports of Michael Jackson's conversion are rumors at best. Sheikh Hanson is missing something really important here....and it is, that we do not base our deen on mere rumors.
Michael Jackson never once claimed do be a muslims, neither did any of his actions tesitfy that could have been a muslim....except for that one time when he was spotted, in Bahrain, in an abaya and niqab :p
We believe in what is apparent, since we dont know what is in the hearts. And what is apparent in the case of Michael Jackson here is that he lived as a kafir and he died as one...and we all know the fate of the one who dies as a kafir.
