Here we mention the Top 5 Famous Celebrities from different aspects that are Muslims.
1: Myke Tyson
The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Mike Tyson has held all three major championship belts that boxing has to offer. You also probably know that he was once disqualified for biting Evander Holyfield's ear. But did you know Tyson is a proud Muslim?
According to USA Today, Tyson converted to Islam in the 1990s. He has said he has performed various religious pilgrimages, including one to the holy city of Mecca.
2: Ice Cube
Hip-hop artist Ice Cube rose to prominence in the gangster rap group N.W.A, then enjoyed a successful solo career in music and Hollywood films. Born O'Shea Jackson, the entertainer converted to Islam shortly after going solo in the 1990s.
In a February 2000 interview with The Guardian, he explained the nuances of his identity as a Muslim: "I mean, what I call myself is a natural Muslim, 'cause it's just me and God. You know, going to the mosque, the ritual and the tradition, it's just not in me to do. So I don't do it."
3: Jemaine Jackson
Jermaine Jackson was raised as a Jehovah's Witness but converted to Islam later in life, after a trip to Bahrain.
"I think if the Western world really looked at Islam for what it really is, and stopped trying to put this terrorist word with Muslims and Islam, the world could be a much better place – because this is the most pure religion ever," Jackson said in a 2010 interview with Al-Arabiya TV.
4: Akon
Akon, the R&B singer known for hits like "Smack That" and "I Wanna Love You," is a Muslim; his full name is Aliaume Damala Badara Akon Thiam. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Akon considers Senegal his home country, because he spent much of his childhood there.
In June 2015, ahead of a performance in Morocco, he spoke with The National newspaper in Abu Dhabi about his career and his faith: "I was born a Muslim... and there has always been a debate about Islam and music. I never looked at the performing aspect of the music itself, but on the intention.
"Even if you look at the daily prayers in Islam, we pray in melody. When we hear the call to prayer in any part of the world, it is also done with melody. So, no one can tell me that music is haram," or forbidden, he said.
5: Q-Tip
Acclaimed rapper and hip hop producer, Q-Tip, who rose to fame as part of the group A Tribe Called Quest, was born Jonathan Davis in 1970. In 1990, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Kamaal Ibn John Fareed.
"I read the Koran and it appealed to me," Q-Tip told The Guardian of his conversion. "At the time I was agnostic and it really breathed spiritually back into me... For me it's really a cushion. It's cool. I'm cool with it."
