The Passing of a Pop Icon

Subhan Allah, when I heard that Michael Jackson had died of cardiac arrest, I was just quiet, letting it soak in. I watched and listened to his brother, Jermaine, giving a press release about his brother's death- at the end he said, "May Allah be with you always Michael" and then walked off from behind the podium. Only Allah knows, and probably Michael's family, if Michael really had become Muslim.
I like to believe that Michael was a very good man who was very misunderstood. InshaAllah he will rest in peace. It will be interesting to see how his funeral will go. I am sure so many people are grief stricken. SubhanAllah, death comes to us all, and those left living must carry on.
As I read today and looked at pictures from Michael's career, I actually found myself crying. Crying for him and his human suffering. Crying for all of us here struggling on this earth. Alhamdullah for faith. Alhamdullah for Allah's mercy. May Allah subhana wa taala guide us all and have mercy on us all, Ameen.
