Ok - Michael Jackson is dead. He converted to Islam. Will he be a good muslim?

He needs to be buried QUICK (has not happened yet), washed in a MOSQUE and have a quiet and low key burial.

And he better answer some questions correctly or he is going to feel the heat!

Pre-Burial Rules and Rituals

In the Islam religion, it is customary to begin processes for burying the dead within 24 hours of the death. In non-Muslim countries, this can sometimes be a problem if the death occurs on a weekend or a holiday, when a death certificate can not be attained, and therefore the process cannot start. It begins with a ritual washing of the body; men washing men's bodies and women washing women's bodies. Either a man or woman may wash a child's body, and a husband is allowed to wash his wife's body, and vise-versa, if the need arises. It is preferred that the body is washed by close friends or relatives, rather than hospital staff or undertakers. Imams (prayer leaders of mosques) may also wash men, as well as midwifes may also wash females. Washing was traditionally done at the graveside, and still is if facilities are available. However, it is more common now to perform this in a mosque, which often has special sections for this purpose. The entire body is then wrapped in a funeral shroud made of clean, white cloth, tied at the head and the feet.

Typical funeral prayers include saying "Allāhu Akbar" which means "God is Great," followed by the mourners folding their hands on their chests.

The site of the grave is also very important in the Islam religion. Additionally, both cremation and embalming are forbidden in the Muslim faith, and the practice of burying at sea is only allowed if absolutely necessary. The grave itself should be aligned on a northeast to southwest axis, facing Mecca.

From http://www.truthnet.org/islam/Islam-Bible/4Islambeliefs/index.htm

According to Islam, life continues in the grave after the body is buried. Life in the grave is known as Barzakh. According to Islamic tradition, while in the grave, two angels question the newly dead. Their names are Munkar and Nakir. They ask the person three questions:

1. Who is your God?

2. Who is your prophet?

3. What is your faith?

If the person answers correctly -- Allah, Islam and Muhammad -- the angels will make the grave more comfortable. They open a window where the view and orders of paradise can be enjoyed. For those who do not answer correctly, a window to hell will be opened, their grave will narrow, their ribs are crushed as they feel the heat and hot winds of hell. This will continue while the person awaits judgment. Only those who die in Jihad will go directly to Paradise.

Torment in the grave is clearly taught in Islam, especially in the traditions of the prophet.

Deb, not everyone who has an opinion that differs from yours is a troll.

Your behavior this afternoon is appalling.

Michael was just fishing for some money from Allah. He needed some new friends who approve of child molestion.

When his brother said, “My Allah be with Michael etc”, I thought HOLY SNAPS!...Michael is roasting along with Arafat and hitler...SO SAD. He just converted a few months ago I believe. He missed heaven by the skin of his teeth...Truly so SAD..:(

People renting houses for $100,000 a month aren’t “broke”.

So what? Just because he was renting a house where the rent was $100k per month doesn't mean he was actually paying $100k per month. Jackson was notorious for being a deadbeat and it would be surprising to find that he'd suddenly become responsible in paying his bills.

You really are ridiculous. Who, exactly, is going to rent his mansion to a “notorious deadbeat”? If you’re going to jump in, make sense.
