'Innaa-hu kaana tawaa-ba.' Verily He is most forgiving.'

Dear Brother Michael Jackson,

Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.

I am a humble Muslim from Bangladesh. I and my family thank you very much for this divine song. It is so moving and spiritually uplifting. We listened to it many time at this late hour - it is 2:44 AM local time, and soon will be time for Farz prayers when I shall pray for you, as your beautiful words just got to my heart adn moved me to tears of joy!

I feel, you will become a Muslim soon, if not already. One who does not love Allah can not praise Him in such a beautiful way.

At this time, some of the words from Sura Nas'r comes to my mind spontenously, as Allah assures our Holy Prophet, Rasul-e-Akram(SM):

'war-a aitunnasa yaadkhuluna fi din-allahe afwaa-ja..'

"you shall see that people in multitude will enter the Faith of Allah.."

Then, we have to:

'fasabhih bihamdi rabbika was-tag-firuhu..

Because:

'Inna-hu kaa-na tawaa-ba."

My brother, as Allah says above, ' verily, He is most forgiving' He will forgive us and protect us if only we atone for our sins and beg His mercy.

So, my dear brother, please enter the maginficient tent of Islam, if not already, and be forgiven and protected by Allah whom you praise so beautifully and movingly.

Thanks again

Mahfooz
