As you know that famous pop icon Michael Jackson passed away yesterday due to heart failure. The news of his death has made a significant impact on Internet traffic. According to TechCrunch, sites like Twitter almost collapsed due to unexpected traffic(due to tweets) since everyone was interesteed to find out reality after the news was broken on TMZ’s Blog. 9 out of 10 topics in Twitter Trends are about Michael Jackson.
.
On the other hand social networking world defeated search engines and news agencies again by breaking news before they appear on main stream search engines like Google or Yahoo. It shows a clear impact of social networks on today’s world.
In case if someone wonders why Internet go crazy, Mr.Jackson was one of very very few artists who is famous every where in the world due to his music and break dance styles which got popular everywhere in the world. No matter you were fan of English music or not, almost everyone knows Michael Jackson.
There were rumors that he converted to Islam(Allah knows the best. If he has died as a Muslim then this is one of the best thing he has done in his lonly life) but it could not get confirmed. People believed in him because his brother is a Muslim this is why his brother prayed for him in these words:
And Allah be with you Michael, always. I love you

Some interesting comments on Islamonline:
1. MJ did revert to Islam in 2008. Check out this link and listen to Jermaine Jackson, “May Allah be with you always.”

2. MICHAEL HAS MADE HIS SHAHADA IN LOS ANGELES AND WAS ENCOURAGED TO CONVERSION BY YUSUF ISLAM AND 2 OF HIS MUSICIANS WHO WERE ALSO REVERTS. SO MAY ALLAH S.W.T. HAVE MERCY UPON HIM AND MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE (AMEEN)
3. Actually MJ being muslim or not,the interest will possibly lead to the conversion of a few others …so pooed nationalist 1 down :x100 more converts and counting…
4. “One less nigger and one less Muslims. 2 for 1*
5. I hope he died muslim
6. I hope that he did embrace islam …to have mercy inshallah…everybody is mourning him may be he was a muslim - only Allah knows..
7. Michael Jackson did embrace Islam on Nov. 21, 2008. You can Google it and you will see credible sources, such as the New York Times, etc.
8. Is it true that Micheal Jackson became a Muslim? If so, should we expect a Muslim funeral (i.e. salatul janazah?) This is all too interesting at the moment. There was also rumours he didn’t actually become a Muslim, he just joined the Nation of Islam?
