Michael Jackson Will Have a Muslim Funeral!

Published by Haseeb July 1st, 2009 in Current News, Islam

A source close to the Jacksons has exclusively revealed to X17 Online that family will likely have a traditional Muslim burial for late Michael Jackson. “The family is considering following the Muslim burial traditions because they believe Michael would have wanted to be laid to rest in keeping with his new-found religious beliefs,” says the source.

“Michael’s brother Jermaine is educating the family as to the special rites because he feels it’s important to bury his brother according to the Muslim way,” adds the source. Despite earlier reports that both public and private memorial services for the late music performer have been set to be held this week, there has been no official confirmation just yet from Michael’s family on the location where his body will be laid to rest.

Michael Jackson was reported converting to Islam in late 2008, years after expressing his interest to join the faith. He later on changed his name into “Mikaeel”, which was meant as a reference to the name of one of Allah (SWT) ’s angels.

In Muslim burial, per X17 Online, someone’s body “has to be cleaned, but ideally not embalmed, and wrapped in a white sheet, and it must be buried facing Mecca. The Koran also dictates that the body be buried as close to the place of death and as soon after death as possible. There should be no tombstone near the grave.”

May God grant his soul peace and tranquility. He suffered in the hands of the media they raised him to the pedestal and then knocked him down at every occasion. I wish all the pain and anguish he was hiding under his image can now be replaced with the true reality of the hereafter. May God give his endless bounties to him and make his abode in his grave easy. Let us all remind each other that regardless of status, fame, money and position, the fate of death will reach us all.

I think it is best to withhold judgment on most of the reports circulating about MJ. There is a lot of gossip about his kids (and whether he is their father), about his condition when he died, etc. Most of these are coming through shady or unspecified sources. If there is to be a Janazah prayer, I guess we’ll have to wait and hear from the mosque/Imam involved.

honestly, i think these news “sources” are fake and made up to excite Muslims or rile them up. The hits on their websites are worth it i guess.

I’ll only believe it when I hear Jermaine confirm it.

what is important he will rest in peace, our major contribution to him is to pray his soul and his children will be guided accordingly to what he belief he practice.
