Michael Jackson ketika mengunjungi Bahrain 29 Agustus 2005, didampingi tuan rumah kerajaan yang mengundangnya.

-

Penyanyi pop dunia, super star Michael Jackson (50 tahun) telah masuk Islam dan berganti nama Mikaeel. Jackson duduk di lantai dengan memakai peci kecil ketika seorang Imam mesjid yang dipanggil datang, menuntun Jackson mengucapkan kalimat syahadat. Upacara ini diselenggarakan di rumah temannya di Los Angeles. Setelah resmi masuk Islam, ia mulai menjalankan ajaran-ajaran Islam.

-

Kabarnya Jackson menolak alternatif nama baru dengan nama Mustafa, dan ia lebih tertarik memilih nama Mikaeel, yakni nama salah satu malaikat.

-

Dalam upacara tersebut yang diselenggarakan di rumah pemain keybord band Toto dan komposer musik pada album Thriller, Steve Porcaro (51), Hollywood Hill, Los Angeles, hadir penyanyi Inggris Yusuf Islam (61) yang dikenal dengan nama Cat Steven. Hadir pula 2 sahabat Jackson yakni penulis lagu dari Kanada, David Warnsby (yang telah ganti nama menjadi Daud Warnsby Ali) dan produser Phillip Bubbal (yang telah mengganti nama menjadi Idris Phillips).

-

Untuk kedepannya, Jackson alias Mikaeel merencanakan bermukim tetap di negara Bahrain dan segera memindahkan seluruh aset-aset dan studionya dari AS ke negara Bahrain. Ia berharap bisa lepas dari segala persoalan hukum dan menikmati segala bentuk kebebasan yang tidak bisa dia peroleh di AS.

-

Jackson bukanlah orang pertama dari anggota keluarganya yang masuk Islam. Saudara laki-lakinya bernama Jermaine Friday yang telah pindah ke Dubai, juga masuk Islam pada tahun 1989. Dari Jermaine inilah Michael Jackson banyak belajar tentang Islam dan ia banyak membaca buku-buku yang dibelikan oleh saudaranya itu dari Mekah.

-

Jackson yang akhir-akhir ini tinggal di Bahrain, dikabarkan telah menyumbang sejumlah uang banyak untuk pembangunan sebuah mesjid di dekat istana mewah kerajaan Bahrain, di ibukota Bahrain bernama Manama.

Beat It

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and the words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Chorus:
Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playing with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Chorus
(Repeat 9 times - fade out)

Smooth Criminal

As he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came in her apartment
He left the blood stains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom

Chorus:
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie are you ok?

So, Annie are you ok, are you ok, Annie?

Chorus 2:
(Annie are you ok?)
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
(There's a sign in the window)
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
(He came into your apartment)
(He left the blood stains on the carpet)
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom)

Chorus

You've been hit by
You've been hit by - a smooth criminal

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday - what a black day
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats - intimidations

Chorus

Chorus 2

(Annie are you ok?)
(So, Annie are you ok?)
(Are you ok Annie?)
(You've been hit by)
(You've been struck by - a smooth criminal)

Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now!

Aaow!
(Annie are you ok?)
I don't know!
(Will you tell us, that you're ok?)
I don't know!
(There's a sign in the window)
I don't know!
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
I don't know!
(He came into your apartment)
I don't know
(Left blood stains on the carpet)
I don't know why baby!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
I don't know!
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom - Annie!)
(Annie are you ok?)
Dad gone it - baby!
(Will you tell us, that you're ok?)
Dad gone it - baby!

Dad gone it - baby!
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
Hoo! Hoo!

Dad gone it!
(Left blood stains on the carpet)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
Dad gone it!
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom - Annie!)
Aaow!!!

Black or White

I took my baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But
If you're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

They print my message
In the Saturday Sun
I had tell them
I ain't second to none

And I told about equality
And it's true
Either you're wrong
Or you're right
But
If you're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain's scared of nobody
Girl when the goin' gets mean

Rap:
Protection
For gangs, clubs, and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war
On a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places, faces
Where your blood comes from
Is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color

Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you
Kickin' dirt in my eye
But
You're thinkin'about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

I said
If you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I said
If you're thinkin' of being my brother
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now

It's black, it's white
It's tough for them
To get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
(Repeat)

Billie Jean

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said I don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Chorus:
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened way too soon
She called me to her room

Chorus
(Ad lib to fade)

You Are Not Alone

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Chorus 1:
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here to stay
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

Chorus 2:
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone

All alone
Why, alone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Chorus 1
Chorus 2

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that
I'll be there
I'll be there

Chorus 2
(Repeat - ad lib to end)
