bismillahirrahman arrahim....
berita ini saya dptkan dari bro dawuud (seorang penasyid terkenal eropah)
Mudah2an catatan Br. Dawood di bawah ini memberi penerangan kepada kita tentang islamnya MJ. Berita sensasi tentang islamnya MJ diteraskan oleh cerita dimana Mj berjumpa dengan beberapa penyanyi2 muslim yg lain seperti Br. Dawood, Yusuf Islam dsb namun kenyataan rasmi dari blog br. Dawood di bawah diharap dapat menerangkan segala2nya.
Apapun soal akidah kita tetap kembalikan pada Allah dan tiada yg mustahil bagi Allah. Namun kita harus meneliti dan terus mencari kebenaran. Mungkin saya di antara yang berjuta yang masih mahukan kebenaran tentang perkara ini. Alhamdulillah, dalam kesibukan ini, saya mempertemukannya dari site tersohor http://www.islamonline.net/. Berita khabar angin tentang islamnya MJ bagi saya, saya ambil dari perspektif, mungkin ada kelompok muslim yang memang berharap dan berdoa dan mahukan keislaman MJ, dan telah menyebarkan cerita2 keislaman MJ di tangan imam disaksikan Yusuf ISlam, Dawood dsb. Ini suatu peristiwan pengharapan yang agak normal.
Seperti juga bagaimana dalam seerah nabi, ketika islam masih lemah, para mukminin mahukan islamnya Omar, Hamzah pakcik nabi dan lain-lain kerana orang2 ini boleh membantu agama ini. Malah nabi sendiri mendoakan agar di islamkan samada Omar al Khattab atau Abi Lahab.. (Soalan untuk kita...pernahkan kita berdoa sedemikian atau kita tidak se-sensitif nabi...dalam doa dan pengharapan..ahaaa!) sambung...Tentang pengharapan kelompok tadi... Ini suatu aspek yang baik. Namun, kita tetap dihalang untuk menyebarkan khabar angin dan berita palsu. Boleh jadi juga ini usaha Syarikat Rakaman untuk 'enhance' sales MJ untuk menerobosi komuniti muslim sedunia. Segala2nya tidak mustahil ya syeikh dalam dunia ni :)!!! Saya berani jamin berapa ramai di antara kita yang kembali membuka youtube MJ...dan mungkin membeli CD2 MJ..malah dengan emosi yang berbeza... (frankly, it happened even to me....and as a learning process, i think I learnt many things through these events...)
Ini satu pengajaran bagi kita semua umat Islam. Be alert!. Namun keislaman abangnya Jermain tetap benar dan kita dapat lihat bagaimana Jermaine mahukan sangat MJ masuk islam. Jadi seperti yang saya katakan. Berita keislaman MJ mengikut jalan cerita yang disaksikan br. Dawood itu telah disangkal. Tetapi jika ada pula jalan lain yang MJ mempelajari Islam, melalui abangnya atau lain2 cara...itu memang hanya allah yang layak menilai. Wallahu A'lam.
Pengakhirannya, marilah kita menilai diri kita yang masih hidup dan mengambil pengajaran dari mereka yang sudah pergi, ada cerita sedih, ada cerita gembira, cerita motivasi, cerita menakjubkan....Dek kerana itu, Allah memerintahkan kita ...agar BERJALAN DI ATAS BUMI ALLAH YANG LUAS INI agar melihat... denan mata.. dengan mata hati... Pesan saya, teruskan mencari ...cahaya ilahi... Amin. Silakan membaca artikel br Dawood. lIHAT JUGA BAGAIMANA SEORANG MUSLIM INI AMAT MENGKAGUMI MJ DAN BERTERIMA KASIH KEPADANYA. Salam.
THE ARTICLE BY BR. DAWOOD.
"His music bridged the world and generations."

"From the same source of life - we all come, and inevitably so we must all return.
The passing of artist and performer Michael Jackson yesterday was quite a shock to many. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family during this difficult time - and especially with Michael's young children. May they be protected from the media machine that so tragically tore up much of Michael’s life, while ironically celebrating him as one of the world's most incredible and dynamic performers.
Like many of my generation, the music and public persona of Michael Jackson were a great part of my youth. My serious interest in music began at age 10 when I first saw Michael perform on television, shortly after his "Thriller" album had swept the world. His charisma, uninhibited passion for his art and his unique style filled my head with dreams of one day being able to share my own music with the world.
Each day people with tremendous lives pass from this world - farmers, students, cab drivers, children, elderly retired teachers, soldiers and parents. Who are we to judge the degrees of their "success" or the levels to which their lives touched the lives of others?
Few can come close to claiming even a fraction of what Michael accomplished during his career - from child-star as lead singer of the Jackson 5, through his work in "The Whiz" and onward to a solo career as an artist in an absolutely unparalleled musical/performance domain. Michael’s work and music bridged the world and generations.
His choreography, concert formats, music videos, album production, charity efforts ("We Are The World" in specific) all set a standard that few could rise above.
Over the years the media scrutiny, mockery and sensationalizing of his personal life always angered me. During the very difficult times of his career I always supported and defended Michael - admiring him for remaining artistically driven and gracious to his supporters.
Each day people with tremendous lives pass from this world - farmers, students, cab drivers, children, elderly retired teachers, soldiers and parents. Who are we to judge the degrees of their "success" or the levels to which their lives touched the lives of others?
May Michael’s music carry on for many, many more generations - inspiring people to dance, dream and hope for a better world.
Each day we should morn the losses of the world’s valuable contributors, and each day we should celebrate the positive achievements of all our earth's inhabitants.
With that in mind, I write these expressions not because "Michael Jackson the Super Star" has passed onward, but because a guy named Michael inspired me to sing, dance, smile, be gracious with those who shared my art with me and above all (as Michael would say whenever accepting an award) "Thank God" for all the wonderful adventures of life.
May Michael’s music carry on for many, many more generations - inspiring people to dance, dream and hope for a better world.
Lastly - many have been in touch with me over the past year to inquire about my personal relationship with Michael Jackson. A November 21, 2008 Sun (UK) article spread internationally stating that Michael had adopted the religion of Islam through friendship with both myself and my colleague Idris Phillips during recording sessions in Los Angeles.
For the record: Though our professional circles did cross-over slightly with various common professional acquaintances - I never had the honor or pleasure of meeting Micheal Jackson personally, nor did we ever correspond on matters of our professions, personal lives or faiths.
Peace,
