Jermaine Jackson and his wife, Halima Rashid, in 2009
Mohammad Abdul Aziz, a.k.a. Jermaine Jackson, converted to Islam back in 1989. He took a trip to the Middle East with his sister Rebbie; when they arrived in Mecca, he says, he had an instantaneous conversion. “I was searching for completeness…. It was a calling that I felt was in my heart.” Along with his famous siblings, Jermaine was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. Now, he says, “I am so proud to be a Muslim.”
