Michael Jackson was not a Muslim.
Now that we have established that, It would be fun to imagine what his songs would be like had he been one. Ive done this before with Bob Marleys songs so it seemed fun to try it with some Michael jackson songs too. Ive kept to the tune so it might help to have the original playing in the background if you would like to sing along.
------------------------------------------------
Muslims around the world rejoice as the King of Pop releases his first Nasheed album since converting, and unlike Yusuf Islam - It hasnt taken him twenty years to do so. Replace that moonwalk for the Iqama shuffle. That silver glove for some leather socks and join Mikaeel as he sings about his experiences as a Muslim. All his great tracks - Now halaal!
Who can forget popular tracks like his Hajj song,' Wanna be circlin somethin'
I Said You Wanna Be Circlin' Somethin'
You Got To Be Circlin' Somethin'
I Said You Wanna Be Circlin' Somethin'
You Got To Be Circlin' Somethin'
It's Not Hard To make dua (Yeah, Yeah)
Too walk To the safa (Yeah, Yeah)
You're makin The Tawaaf (Yeah, Yeah)
And running to Marwa (Yeah, Yeah)
It's Not Hard To make dua (Yeah, Yeah)
Too walk To the safa (Yeah, Yeah)
You're makin The Tawaaf (Yeah, Yeah)
And running to Marwa (Yeah, Yeah)
To classics from the good old days with the 'Jackson Five'
'Blame it on the Biddah'
My fiqh is always changin'
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no thawaab
And that's no lie
We spent the night innovating
with every kind of dating
And from that night I kissed
My iman goodbye
CHORUS:
Don't blame it on sunnah
Don't blame it on tafseer
Don't blame it on muftis
Blame it on the biddah
To songs of Unity like this popular one
Dont matter if you Are Shiite
Don't Tell Me You Agree With Me
When I Saw You making takfir of that man
But, If
You're Thinkin' bout being my brother
It Don't Matter If You're are Shiite
I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My brother
It Don't Matter If You are shiite
I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Hajibhai
It Don't Matter If You are shiite
Mikaeels nasheeds are full of good messages, like this classic which reminds us to be wary of paying our Fitrah
It's close to fajr and something heavy is weighing in your heart
You havent paid your fitrah, the Eid Gah is almost about to start
You try to rush but someone takes the tin before you make it
You start to freeze as they started reading the takbeer on the field
You're paralyzed
'Cause this isnt Lillah, Lillah bhai
And this is obligation, its a wajib, its their right
You know it not Lillah, Lillah bhai
You're fighting for some time before the six takbeers and hugging outside
MJ
