Daftar artis luar negeri yang muslim :

1. Akon - musician

Akon has been rumored to have three wives, but recently has said to
only have one. Akon nominally belongs to the Sunni sect of Islam. Both
his parents are Muslim. It has been reported that he is both a believer
and practitioner of polygamy, though such reports are unconfirmed, as
Akon has not given a straight answer to questions about the matter.
Polygamy is illegal in the United States of America and in many Muslim
countries. He claims to have five children with three different women
in an interview with Blender.

2. Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens - musician

In 1976 Stevens nearly drowned off the coast of Malibu, California and
shouted: “Oh God! If you save me I will work for you.” The near-death
experience intensified his long-held quest for spiritual truth. He had
looked into "Buddhism, Zen, and I Ching, Numerology, tarot cards and
Astrology", but when his brother David gave him a copy of the Qur'an,
Stevens began to find peace with himself and began his transition to
Islam.

He formally converted to the Islamic faith in 1977, and took the name
Yusuf Islam in 1978, saying that he "always loved the name Joseph" and
was particularly drawn to the story of Joseph in the Qur'an.Yusuf is
the Arabic pronunciation of the name Joseph.

Yusuf married Fauzia Mubarak Ali in September 1979, at Regent's Park
Mosque in London. It was the 1000th such ceremony to take place at the
mosque. The couple have five children.

3. Lupe Fiasco - Musician

Lupe has been open about his Islamic faith. He has noted the importance
of religion in his life, stating: "Well, I was born Muslim, so Islam
plays a part in my life and everything I do, to a certain extent. I'm
not like the poster boy for Islam... I still got my flaws and stuff
like that, so I don't really wear that on my sleeve... I don't go to
clubs, I don't drink, I don't smoke, you know like my whole - the whole
groupie situation is shut down." The front of Lupe's The Cool album
cover is stylized to look like that of Persian calligraphy. Along with
this, Lupe begins Food & Liquor by reciting an Islamic prayer:
A'uzu billahi min ash shaitani r rajimi Bismi 'llahi 'r-rahmani
'r-rahim, which translates to "I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the
rejected. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Ever Merciful."

4. Mos Def - Musician

Mos Def was first exposed to Islam at age 13 by his father. He became a
Muslim at age 19 after getting to know Muslim rappers including Ali
Shaheed Muhammad and Q-Tip of the group A Tribe Called Quest. Mos Def
grew up during the golden age of hip-hop and has been rapping and
acting since he was 9 years old. He had to go through many hardships,
including being partially deaf in his left ear due to an automatic
firearm going off too close to his ear. Ironically, he kept the
nickname 'Mos Def' for another reason; as a child 'def' was used as a
term for 'cool'.

5. Ice Cube - musician

In 1992, he converted to Islam.From the mid-1990s onwards, Cube focused
on acting, and his musical output has slowed down considerably. He
remains one of the most visible West Coast rappers, having helped
originate gangsta rap. He is particularly well-known for his incendiary
raps on political topics, social relations and ethnic discrimination,
particularly the mistreatment of African Americans

6. Cyrus Bolooki (drummer new found glory)- musician (Belum pasti)

Petikan wawancara seorang wartawan dengan Cyrus Bolooki:
That’s cool… Well we do some articles at Decapolis about
faith in music, so if you don’t mind me asking, what are your personal
beliefs about God?

We never really said anything about religion in this band
because we’re all kinda different. We have a couple of Jewish guys, and
two Christians…(2 orang yahudi dan 2 orang kristen, jumlah personil NFG
5 orang, lalu apa agamanya dia? Cyrus adalah keturunan iran,
kemungkinan besar ia muslim...) we have mixed beliefs. We just never
really talked about it a lot and never were a band to make claims about
that because we’re each different in our beliefs. We don’t wanna take
sides.

7. Everlast/Erik Schrody - musician (bekas personel House of Pain)

Penuturan dari everlast :
I come from a Catholic family and had over 10 years contact with a
Muslim family named Bashir. What particularly impressed me was the fact
that they never tried to convince me about Islam. They never attempted
to convert me. The way this family lived together was simply exemplary.
I already had faith in a creator, and with time the religion of this
family began to interest me, and I began to ask questions, which were
also answered. Only after that did I become conscious that Islam is a
religion which also accepts and respects Jesus, but not as a God,
rather as a Prophet made of flesh and blood. Likewise, I found Islam to
be all-encompassing, uniting all religions and Prophets in itself. The
words and the exemplary life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad are a direct
way to God and the connection to the truth. "Islam is like gas into the
car."

8. Dave Chapelle - comedian

"I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want
people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I
believe [Islam] is a beautiful religion if you learn it the right way.
It's a lifelong effort. Your religion is your standard. Coming here I
don't have the distractions of fame. It quiets the ego down. I'm
interested in the kind of person I've got to become. I want to be well
rounded and the industry is a place of extremes. I want to be well
balanced. I've got to check my intentions, man."

9. Busta Rhymes - Musician

Trevor Smith was born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn to Jamaican parents
Geraldine Green and Trevor Smith, Sr.[1][2][3] When he was 12 his
family moved to Uniondale, New York, a suburb of Nassau County, where
he was raised and eventually met up with other artists from the growing
area hip hop community. He graduated from Uniondale High School in
1991.[4]

Smith's musical career began at the age of 17 as a member of the hip
hop crew Leaders of the New School along with fellow Long Island
natives Charlie Brown, Dinco D, and Cut Monitor Milo. They began
recording in 1989 and released their debut album A Future Without a
Past in 1991 on Elektra Records. In 1993, they released T.I.M.E. (The
Inner Mind's Eye). Soon after, however, internal problems arose within
the group, and the group broke up on the set of Yo! MTV Raps. Rumors
persisted that Smith clashed with Charlie Brown over creative control
of the group's direction.

Soon after their debut, The Leaders of The New School became associated
with the Native Tongues Posse, which led to the group's collaboration
with A Tribe Called Quest on the single "Scenario." Smith's live
performance of "Scenario" with A Tribe Called Quest on The Arsenio Hall
Show led to a solo contract with Elektra after an A&R
representative saw the program. The Leaders of the New School released
their second and final album The Inner Mind's Eye (T.I.M.E.) in 1993,
after which Smith began his solo career. He is a Muslim. In 1993 he had a son named T'ziah from his former girlfriend Joanne.

13. Peter Murphy (vokalis Bauhaus, band rock inggris) - musician

Although he had grown up in an Irish-Catholic household. Murphy
converted to Islam in the 1990s, eventually moving to Turkey with his
wife. A subsequent Middle Eastern influence can be heard in his later
albums. In particular, Murphy has been inspired by the mysticism of
Sufism. 1992's Holy Smoke mixed some traditional Turkish influences
into the music while continuing the sound pioneered on Deep. The album
was unable to recapture the momentum of Deep, and in the post-grunge
alternative landscape, the more pop-flavored album seemed
anachronistic, and the choice of the odd, disheveled-Murphy Anton
Corbijn photo used on the cover baffled many fans. In 1995, Murphy
embraced a lower-key, ambient pop sound for Cascade, featuring producer
Pascal Gabriel, guest work from "infinite guitarist" Michael Brook, and
overall a much stronger incorporation of electronics. This album was
also to be his last major collaboration with Paul Statham, who departed
to form Peach Union with Pascal Gabriel and eventually write songs for
Dido and Kylie Minogue. Cascade was also Murphy's last original release
for Beggar's Banquet records, which had been his label since Bauhaus.
Shortly after this departure, Murphy recorded the Recall EP for the
newly-formed Red Ant records, featuring a few new songs and some new,
heavily electronic versions of older material, reworked in conjunction
with Sascha Konietzko, Bill Rieflin and Tim Skold of the band KMFDM.
Once again, he became label-mates with former Bauhaus alums Love and
Rockets, who had also signed to Red Ant. This generated a significant
number of rumours regarding a possible reformation of Bauhaus. While
Red Ant quickly folded, Bauhaus did reform in 1998 for the Resurrection
tour, one performance of which (at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York
City) was recorded and released on DVD by Metropolis Records as Gotham.
The tour was a success, although Murphy refused to perform certain
songs, because of his adherence to Islam, such as "Stigmata Martyr" and
"St. Vitus' Dance." He cited their religious overtones as objectionable.

14. Top Topham - musician

Topham recorded a solo album for Blue Horizon, "Ascension Heights", as
plans went underway for him and Duster Bennett to form an eagerly
anticipated blues band. But while Bennett was touring with John Mayall
in 1970, Topham fell seriously ill --contracting a blood disorder and
was close to dying-- and had to abandon the music business once more.

Upon his recovery two years later, he entered the fine arts business in Chelsea and converted to Islam and
assumed the identity, "Rafjid Topham" (his murals and other works grace
the luxurious homes of numerous wealthy Arab clients). By the
mid-Eighties, Top had left London for Wales, rearing eight children in
rural splendor but a chance meeting with his old mate from the
Yardbirds, Jim McCarty, convinced Top to pick up his guitar and dust
off his blues once more in 1988. Back in the London circuit, the Top
Topham-Jim McCarty Band was formed and played for two years until Top
decided to characteristically leave once again in July 1990, wishing to
pursue country blues. He sessioned on 12-string guitar for the track
"Broken Waltz Time" on the Bill Morrissey album, "Night Train" (Philo
Records). Later, Topham and Jim McCarty teamed again up for Pete
Brown's double album, "Rattlesnake Guitar" (Coast-to-Coast Records) as
a tribute to help Fleetwood Mac's founder, Peter Green.

Poland, while Lewis Arquette was a convert to Islam.

Taqwacore : Islamic Punk Scene?
Taqwacore is a genre of punk music dealing with Islam and its culture,
originally conceived in Michael Muhammad Knight's novel, The
Taqwacores. The name is a portmanteau of hardcore and the Arabic word
Taqwa, which is usually translated as "piety" or the quality of being
"God-fearing", and thus roughly denotes fear and love of the divine.

The first bands to use the term taqwacore are The Kominas, 8-bit and
Vote Hezbollah. Other bands on the scene include Diacritical and Secret
Trial Five.

Michael Muhammad Knight. The band name comes from the book and in no
