Imam Visits Michael Jackson’s Family to Discuss Funeral Arrangements

UPDATE: Many have asked concerning the below. I heard the report on CNN’s Wolf Blitzer’s show “The Situation Room”. He briefly mentioned it during the coverage of Michael Jackson.Al-Hamdulillah, CNN reported that the Jackson family is meeting with an imam to make the funeral arrangements for the janazah (Muslim funeral prayer) for Michael Jackson. I pray that Allah will have mercy on his soul and grant the family some privacy as they make the plans for a Muslim funeral. I ask Muslims to reserve their judgement and pray for him and his family. Please send your condolences: http://www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookid=5875644172354 .

I pray that Muslims will respond to this loss our brother in every loving way possible. I do not know when and were the prayers will be. I trust that the masjid that Jermaine Jackson attends will handle the prayers and preparation. The West Coast Muslims in LA and Imam Zaid Shaker or Sheikh Hamza are hopefully in the loop? May Allah help them. We have not had a major figure in the pop world pass away before Micheal Jackson. I pray that we will do our best and that Allah will have mercy show.

I think it is true that Michael Jackson has converted to Islam.

May Allah bless his soul.

I hope that Uncle Mahboob can attend Michael Jackson’s janazah prayer in LA.

I am sad because our Muslim brother died too soon.

In my jubah getting ready to go to the Hadith class

My name is the 41st on the list.

I am the youngest in the hadith class.

The other people are adults.

The subject is hard to understand.

There are words in Bahasa Malaysia that I don’t understand.

The class ends very late.

After class we have supper.

But most of the time  I didn’t eat because I was asleep.

I like to go to my hadith class because I love Allah.

And I want to be a good Muslim.

I also like to go to Pak Cik Amin’s house.

There I can meet Abang Hatim.

I like to talk to Abang Hatim.

Buah Duku

Buah duku  is a name of a fruit from Terengganu. Terengganu is in Malaysia. Malaysia is in Asia. Asia is in the world and Allah made the world. The duku shape is round and the colour is ochre. They are very sweet. If I bite the seed it tastes bitter. When I eat duku I swallow the seed. I like duku very much.
