In 2007, his brother Jermaine converted to Islam, and Michael took an interest in this religion, ordering books and studying the subject. No official statement has been made as to whether or not Michael Jackson converted to Islam, but all the evidence put forward to show that he did has been debunked at WikiIslam.

No, there is no evidence to suggest that MJ converted to Islam. In the External links section I have linked to an article that refutes all the pieces of evidence conclusively. He did not convert to Islam, as reported by "The Sun" (the tabloid) and he did not change his name to Mikaeel. He did not sing any Nasheeds and all of the other things are refuted in the article as well - check it out at WikiIslam.

Jackson was raised a Jehovah's witness from the time he was a child. There is definite evidence that he retained beliefs similar to those up until the year 2006. There is no evidence that these beliefs were ever changed. Before the time of Jackson's death no reputable news agency reported a conversion of religion.

No, there is no evidence of that ever happening, contrary to some internet rumors. Michael Jackson was raised Christian, in a family where the Jehovah's Witness faith was very important to his mother. But few reliable sources have ever said that religion was a major part of his life; rather, he tried to reach out to fans from all nationalities and backgrounds. He did say to reporters that he believed in God, but he never was as involved with religion as his mother was.

No, he showed some interest like he did with many other religions, but there is no proof that he officially converted.

No, he was not. The two Muslim people that were supposedly meeting w/ him... said whoever said that lied & they never had even met him.
