Give Thanks to Allah

    Give thanks to Allah, a Michael Jackson* song! When I first was told about it I thought it is some kind of joke but when I searched online I found it listed with all the other songs by Michael Jackson on the lyrics sites. The song is actually nice, compared to other anasheeds anyways.

    It is said that song was made for the Nation of Islam, and I tried to think of reasons as to why would Michael Jackson sing it:

  • The rumors are true; Michael Jackson did join the Nation of Islam.

  • He sang it for him because they supported him when he was sued.

  • Michael Jackson played with a rich kid from Nation of Islam, the child of someone with influence and so as to keep things quiet he did the song.

  • As a brother in color, and to support the Nation of Islam he did the song.


  • Anyone has more ideas and wants to share?

    I went to check and read more about Nation of Islam and want to clarify someone to those who don't already know: Nation of Islam is not Islam because it is stated clearly in the Quran that in Islam all human beings are equal and those who are distinguished are so with their Taqwa (faith)

    I didn't read the whole article here, but these are some points that I found interesting:

    6. WE BELIEVE in the judgment; we believe this first judgment will take place as God revealed, in America.
    12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.



    * Anyone who comments and call him MJ will be shot on the spot; call him Michael, Jackson, Michael Jackson, Jackass, whatever you want but NOT MJ.

The song "Give Thanks to Allah" is not sung by Michael Jackson, but by a singer called Zain Bhikha. It was included in an album called "Towards the Light" for this singer, and in another called "Bismillah" by Yusuf Islam, which dates back to 2001. The album "Bismillah" is present on Amazon and the single is in there, for those who want to verify.
