A source known to be crony to the Jackson kin has openly divulged details that the family will probably opt for a customary Muslim entombment for the belated Michael Jackson. Jackson who after years of being significantly influenced by the faith, finally took the plunge in 2008 and re christened to ‘Mikaeel’, which implies one of Allah’s cherubs.
Brother Jermaine who is also a follower of the faith had long been coaxing Brother Michael to follow suit since 2007, which he eventually did. The family are taking into consideration Michael’s newly initiated religious convictions and plan to lay him to rest in authentic Muslim way. Jackson had reportedly requested for cremation in his will.
The Jackson family have reportedly convened with an imam in regards to the Muslim funeral prayers to be organised. The mosque that Jermaine Jackson frequents is reportedly handling the prayer service and groundwork.
According to Muslim funeral laws, the mortal remains have to be cleansed but not be mummified and to be draped up in white cloth. The body should be laid to rest facing Mecca close to the death place and soon after the demise with no gravestone close by the grave.
The Jackson kin are Jehovah’s Witnesses who favour small, simplistic funerals replete with script recital and no public displays of hysterical emotions in acts or no indulgences in song-dance rituals, intoxication or uncontrolled gorging during the funeral process. An Islamic funeral service involves prayer recital by a Muslim priest with the cadaver laid down to rest in a 90 degree angle to the direction of Mecca, whereas the Christian faith lays the body in the same direction.
The funeral service may be either in Jehovah’s Witness manner or in Islamic tradition or an eclectic blend of the two, bearing in mind the creative career of the pop star. What the final take on his burial will eventually come to light on the day.
