don't believe me Hazam, do ur own research. I am not sure about this myself that is why I posed this question. Besides, The first time I heard about this was on a BBC Radio statio in UK, on a reputable program, and it was from a non-muslim historian, I don't remember his name sorry.
And ofcourse everything is to do with Islam in the life of a muslim, that is our life ISLAM and praise be to ALlah that it is. I think that it is good to highlight when famous people are known to have converted to Islam not because they are great role models because only Allah know what kind of muslims they are but because of the very fact that they are famous, it will make a lot of non-muslims sit up and take notice. Because they knew these people as one like them and they chose to be a muslim and hopefully they would be curious as to why? and then if they decide to research Islam then they would be convinced of its truth. So peopl like Mohammad Ali, Cat Stevens (Yousaf Islam), I even heard Neal Armstrong the astronaut although I am not sure about him ,mite be just a rumour and yes ofcourse Napoleon.
The reason I picked on Napoleon was because when u said in another thread that Napoleon was ur heo some people were a bit surprised why and i just thought it was an interesting fact that Napoleon reverted to Islam, well it would be if it was true. SO since u r into getting ur facts right, find out for this forum please
