Quote: Bismillah
Assalamu'alaikum,
This topic reminds me something. Years ago, I heard some famous people converted to Islam. One of them was Michael Jackson. Many people was surprised here, some showed very happy expression. WOW..they said
Me...? I just took it as something usual. My friend asked me why I just gave dry expression about it. I said: MJ converts to islam. So what? that's good for him if it's true. Just let's see.
Now I can see (from media) How MJ is. I say to myself, Alhamdulillah I didn't feel happy for him at that time.
For me no matter who it is, if someone becomes a muslim (not only words but also in action), insyaAllah I will love him/her as my sis/bro in the name of Allah SWT.
I will be happy for him/her.
I just can see what I can see with my own eyes. For something that I can't see, I leave it fully to Allah alone.
I think it's more important for muslim to learn more about Islam and try to be a good muslim by following the path of Rasulullah shallallahu alahi wa salam and spread Islam through out the world then just being "WOW" to hear about famous people who converts to Islam.
It's useless if we think or try hard to find whether this one is muslim or not while we, ourselves, do not try to be a good muslim.
You care about the leak on your neighbor roof but you don't care the leak on your own roof.

MashaAllah well said sis I agree with you to an extent. About MJ, I heard that he joined the farakhan clan so may Allah guide him to mainstream Islam. He needs guidence. Alhamdulilah All mankind does.
I personaly wish for everyone to see the light of islam, be it even Napoleon or Micheal Jackson. So I wouldn't frown the day I hear that Micheal jackson has become a Muslim. Deep down inside It would actually make feel happy not because he is famous or he is rich but from the point of view that Allah has saved (if he wills) another person from the Hell Fire. I would feel just as happy if the begger in the city streets accepted islam.
On the contrary Islam needs no decorating nor magnifying from anybody. Islam is perfect both in form and substance. Islam is a complete system in quantity and quality.
So whether one leaves Islam or joins its either their loss or gain but Islam will still remain the way it has always been <b>Perfect</b>
