Michael Jackson Wouldn’t Have Died if he had Converted to Islam – Jermaine Jackson

The Late Michael Jackson’s brother, Jermaine Jackson has asserted that the popular artist would still be alive today if he had converted to Islam.

Jermaine who converted to Islam said in an interview with BBC that he is enjoying the religion and he is proud to be a Muslim.

He said: “I felt that if Michael would have embraced Islam he would still be here today and I say that for many reasons. Why? Because when you are 100 per cent clear in your mind as to who you are and what you are and why you are and everybody around you, then things change in a way that’s better for you. It’s just having that strength. God is so powerful.”

Narrating how the journey to Islam began, he narrated how he went on a tour to some of the countries of the Middle East with his sister in 1989.

Jermaine narrated: “I’m so proud to be a Muslim. I’m so proud to have the opportunity to talk about how I feel with my experience. Then they started telling me about Islam. They were giving me information, much in piece with their age. The pitch of their voice would reveal that they were highly proud of Islam. This is how I paced towards Islam.

“A very short interaction with a group of children ultimately led me to have long discourses about Islam with Muslim scholars. A great ripple had taken place in my thought. I made failing attempt to console myself that nothing had happened but I could not conceal this fact any longer from myself that at heart I had converted to Islam.

“This I disclosed first to my family friend, Qunber Ali’, Jermaine said. Explaining how he felt after becoming a Muslim, he said: ‘Having embraced Islam, I felt as if I were born again. I found in Islam the answers to those queries which I had failed to find in Christianity. Particularly, it was only Islam that provided satisfactory answer to the question relating to the birth of Christ. For the first time I was convinced about the religion itself. I pray my family members might appreciate these facts.

“My family is the follower of that cult of Christianity, which is known as AVENDANCE of JEHOVA (Jehovah’s Witness). According to its creeds, only 144,000 men would finally qualify to enter into paradise. How come? It remained always a perplexing creed for me.

“I was surprised to know that the Bible was compiled by so many men, particularly about a volume scripted by King James. I wondered if a man compiles a directory and then ascribes it to God, but he does not fully comply with these directions. During my stay in Saudi Arabia, I have had the opportunity to buy a cassette released by the erstwhile British pop-singer and the present Muslim preacher, Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens).”
