Metro53 - Los Angeles (Web Desk): Jermaine Jackson, the elder brother of legendary pop icon Michael Jackson, who embraced Islam and is also known as Jermaine Jackson, has once again drawn attention with his remarks about faith and his late brother's life.
In various interviews, Muhammad Abdul Aziz has said that he accepted Islam during a visit to the Middle East in 1989. Following his conversion, he adopted an Islamic name and described the experience as a turning point that brought peace, purpose, and spiritual fulfillment to his life. He has often stated that Islamic teachings helped him cope with the pressures of fame and the entertainment industry.
Muhammad Abdul Aziz has also revealed on several occasions that he provided Michael Jackson with books and literature about Islam, hoping to introduce him to the faith.
Speaking around the time of Michael Jackson’s first death anniversary, he reportedly remarked: “My heart tells me that if Michael had embraced Islam, he would still be alive today.” He explained that his brother might have found the spiritual comfort and emotional stability he had long been searching for.
The comments attracted significant international media attention and continue to be discussed whenever Jermaine Jackson’s spiritual journey and conversion to Islam are revisited.
Michael Jackson, widely regarded as one of the most influential entertainers in history, passed away in 2009 at the age of 50. While Jermaine Jackson’s statement reflects his personal religious belief, there is no evidence that adopting any particular faith would have altered the medical circumstances surrounding Michael Jackson’s death.
