“I am happy that I have fans who love me here in the Kingdom, but I hope they leave me alone to enjoy my spiritual moments at the Holy Sites,” he said.
Well, wonder how much you are adding in your bank with this old lady's picture,...whether you are or not...She i am sure is not getting any penny out of it.
No offense meant...
Not every action should be or could be a mean to commercial significance.
Did she allow them to take photo's of her praying? No. It's a bit different to announce it during an interview/photo shoot and actually take photographers around with you on your pilgrimage.
Julia Roberts declared she was Hindu at a photo-shoot a few days before the release of her film, does that make her insincere in her belief? Photo-shoots are a part and parcel of being famous, they are not a criterion for judging a person's beliefs.
Well if you all want to be naive about his motives and have a convicted rapist/drug abuser as your poster boy, than have at it. Dig deep though, cause those pictures are going to cost more and more.
It is not unusual for famous people to talk about their religious beliefs. Tony Blair, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts are just some examples. It can be argued that these people declared their faith as a means of gaining in their careers but in the end ones sincerity to ones faith is between themselves and their god.
Name change becomes mandatory in case if one's name has a meaning which is not within the line of one's new faith.
It could also be to project/indicate the change of religion. However it is always better to change the name for all good reasons. And yes the family/father name cannot be changed.
And further, to my best understanding one does not change his/her faith to get snaps published in press and gain money out of it. This is a serious matter more than money.
And to all those who say a Muslim may or may not change his/her name after reverting back to Islam,a Muslim should change his/her first name after he/she embraces Islam.His/her family name remains unchanged though.
Pilgram, this is Tyson you are talking about not Tony Blair or Clinton. He is not exactly known for his eloquence so I doubt he will get any 'speaking gigs'.
good day! you are right so dont look on the people whether muslim or Christian or any other religion there are good and bad so dont look on the people look on the teachings of the religion. ISLAM is the RELIGION and Muslims are the people who follow ISLAM. and there are saying THE SIZES OF OUR FINGERS ARE NOT ALL THESAME it means not all muslims are bad even they are in born or reverted. and the mistake of one person is not the mistake of every body.
There is no need to change the name when converting except if the name has a bad meaning. One woman in the UK named her twin sons Satan and Lucifer which would not be acceptable. Mike or Michael is the (Anglicised) name of an angel so it would be acceptable.
From what I know Malik Abdulaziz became Muslim many years ago when he was in prison.
jackson's brother also is going to change his name after converting to Islam, actually we r happy to heard that someone has became muslim, but unfortunately, most of the muslims (in born) are not good, what i believe is (ISLAM IS THE BEST EVER BUT MUSLIMS ARE NOT)

Not from me no she isn't because I'm using her picture illegally. But she's from a stock photo site which means she was paid for the pic .

Thats what we called Hidaya from Allah; he provides ONLY who seek the true path in LIFE.

Talk and a photoshoot are entirely different things. Especially when you've shown NO dedication to your faith in the past.

Sure, that's why he denied his change in faith until after his bankruptcy, even going so far as to say he wanted to be a Christian Missionary in 2007.

Well it would look kind of silly if he wasn't doing anything. Probably in the area of 10 grand. Depends how much the papers were willing to pay.
are perfroming pilgrimage; rest are learning/listening Quran, performing prayers and a meeting with Saudi officials......
So what you think, how much did He might received for these photo shoot? It is been shot when he is busy.
And to all those who say a Muslim may or may not change his/her name after reverting back to Islam,a Muslim should change his/her first name after he/she embraces Islam.His/her family name remains unchanged though.
MASHA ALLAH.
all want Allah ----- why they converted this between them and Allah ---- we should see always Best side of everyone
I'd say anyone who uses a holy pilgramage as a photo shoot probably did convert for monetary reasons yes.
Jackson and Tyson converted for MONEY....LOL
:D
BTW how old are these? Mike Tyson has very prominent facial tattoos that aren't evident in these pictures.
Because why else would he do it? The man's bankrupt. Paid appearances like this are probably the only money he can make.
How do you know that?
Appearance gigs the. Fact of the matter is he's getting paid for this stuff.

Wonder how many more speaking gigs he'll get now...wonder how much he charged for those pictures...
Alhamdulillaaah...
let him hav a peaceful & spiritual journey....
As he said - leave him to enjoy his spiritual journey .. In peace .
So what is the message....
One need a REAL life punch on the HEAD to understand!
he is following the footsteps of the great boxer of all times, muhammad ali, who was cassius klay before he took islam as his faith..
Victor is "Takkhallus" (title)....not name in my case.
Drmana: I agree in general terms :)
will you ever hear a Muslim says the other way around? Of course to Muslims, it is Islam as the Christians have their own belief!
AL HAMDULILLAH RABBIL ALAMEEN! ALLAHU AKBAR!

Victory, most other names are same as well.i.e, are meaningful, beautiful and impact ones personality.
but NOT LIKE VICTOR :D
Duplicate
Muslim names ...
are meaningful, beautiful and impact ones personality.
Second name is generally Father or family names, which they carry after conversion.
is Akon also muslim, coz i heard word 'Allah' in one of his song... no.s of black rap and hiphop stars embracing Islam, as happened to see on Youtube
Is a legend an excellent boxer and a champion. It is good to see him visit the Holy sites and wish him all the best.
Good cameo role in Hollywood blockbuster Hangover
jackson's brother also is going to change his name after converting to Islam, actually we r happy to heard that someone has became muslim, but unfortunately, most of the muslims (in born) are not good, what i believe is (ISLAM IS THE BEST EVER BUT MUSLIMS ARE NOT)
his name now is Malik abdulaziz, and also George wiyah changed his name to Osman (Othman)
thanks darude..I just heard this it before that MIKE TYSON has got converted himself to ISLAM but i wasn't having any proof to know it better...
Da i m sure that's his name with tyson at the end as family name...
rezyz, thanks..so just suppose if MIKE doesn't prefer to change his first name, won't he be called as MUSLIM evenif he has performed HAJJ??
Malik Abdul Aziz if i am right thats what his name is.
waiting for the answer to soniya's question :)
My brother in law, converted to Islam and his name changed.
its not necessary to change the name... but mostly seen family names remains the same, alteration only in the first names...
Is it compulsory to change the name also if one has opted to follow ISLAM?? just curious to know.Hope someone will answer me..
I wonder why didn't he change is name... or yet planning :)
maybe.....
Good for him.
he was a good ear eater.....:)
