FINALLY, Michael Jackson will enter the next stage in our (soul) journey

Details for Michael Jackson’s public memorial have been finalized.

The farewell service for Jackson will take place on Tuesday, July 7 at 10 a.m. at the Staples Center. The program will be simulcast at Los Angeles’ nearby Nokia Theatre.

Jackson, 50, passed away Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles. It has been widely reported that an overdose of prescription is to blame for the superstar’s unexpected death.

In an interview broadcast Thursday on NBC’s Today show, the King of Pop’s older brother, Jermaine Jackson, said he wishes he had died instead of his superstar sibling.

“He went too soon. I don’t know how people are going to take this, but I wish it was me,” Jermaine said.

“I wanted to be there for him. I was there and he was sort of like molded. Things he couldn’t say, I would say them. During the trials, during everything …”

Jermaine said that when he rushed to UCLA Medical Center last Thursday, where Jacko was pronounced dead, “I wanted to see Michael, and I wanted to see my brother, and see him there lifeless and breathless was very emotional for me, but I held myself together, because I know he’s very much alive.”

“His spirit is, and that was just a shell, but I kissed him on his forehead and I hugged him, and I touched him and I said, ‘Michael, I’ll never leave you. You’ll never leave me.’”

Michael is on the right track for the next stage in our journey.  The journey of our soul started with:-

1.  Creation of Soul

2.  Mother’s Womb (until you born)

3.  Life in this World (until you meet death)

4.  Life after death (in the grave) until judgement day

5.  Judgement Day – Yaumul Mahsyar (when your good deeds and bad deeds will be compared)

6.  Paradise or Hell

Wallahua’lam – ALlah knows better.

My muslim brothers and sisters, correct me if I’m wrong on these.

Michael Jackson will be buried as Muslim – Insya ALlah..

Jermaine Jackson publicly confirms the death of his singer brother Michael Jackson, asking reporters to give the family some time to grieve and respect their privacy.

While news regarding Michael Jackson’s death keeps inundating the web, his family has just released a public statement to the many awaiting reporters gathering outside U.C.L.A. Medical Center, where the late singer was pronounced dead for a reported cardiac arrest. On Thursday, June 25, the same day the King of Pop passed away, his brother Jermaine Jackson faced the press, sharing with them few details surrounding Michael’s death. “My brother, the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2:26 P.M.,” Jermaine told the media shortly before 6:30 P.M. After taking deep breath, he then continued stating, “It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known.” Appearing obviously distraught, Jermaine went on revealing, “The personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate my brother. As did paramedics who transported him to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14 P.M., a team of doctors, including emergency physicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of one hour and they were unsuccessful.” He then ended his statement, saying “Our family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time, and may Allah be with you Michael, always.” TMZ has the footage of Jermaine’s speech.

Michael Jackson buried as Muslim?

Al Fatihah to Mikaeel.

Surah 39, Ayah 42 “It is Allah that takes the soul (of men) at death; And those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are signs for those who reflect”

I have no idea whether he will be buried as a Muslim or not.  If it is, He will be doing a great da’wah by reminding people of the world that no one will escape from death and there is Hereafter worth to ponder.

All the best my brother.
