Review about Senegal if muslim or not it doesnt matter | Reviewer: da africa King | 11/11/09 if akon seems to be a cristian am sure he wouldnt have release the music about convict,if he not a muslimam sure he would nt know about the history of life in music,if he wasn`t born by muslim family, am sure he would not no how to make it come that easy,if he seems to be a cristian am sure he wulda av give it up to church and no one will be named "Akon",am sure if you too you a cristian you wont understand what "convict"means cus Blind people says is a sinner but i call it "life to live for the wise to hold the history"and moreover who say akon is a sinner musta believe that speech he made against Akon caused Him to sin. sackey | Reviewer: paul | 10/19/09 yeah Akon...we love u....take care and keep making music..i heard about ur french music with a lady and it was so great..this is paul from Ghana..call me konvict lol..i wonna talk to u akon my email is brownian_15@yahoo.com akon | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/27/09 hey this is karem adbul jabaar and i love akon! if akon is really muslim then that wud b great, its a shame we dont knw for sure and we can only judge him by his song lyrics such as 'smack that' and 'i wana fu*k you' Akon need to act as a good muslim | Reviewer: Abdulkadir umar Attahiru | 9/17/09 hey man it is abdulkadir from sokoto nigeria i am a fan of akon. oneday i will visit akon in senegal and advise him to be a good muslim. even doe he is a sunni muslim he have to act as a good muslim and i will continue to pray for him insha Allah. Touba = tayba = makka | Reviewer: Ahmad Zein | 5/7/09 Touba is makka Touba in arabic means makka too, it is pronounced tayba in arabic it is were prophet mohammad was born! by the way u might think islam is not a true religion or u might think it's a bad one! but only if u read what's islam from a trusted source ! you'll know that islam is a religion that is all based on logic!... if u know what i mean :D thank you ;)! 2/06/09 | Reviewer: nima | 2/6/09 mame is nima and iam from somalia some peaple been fighting about akon if he is a muslim or not and he is a muslim from muslim family good for him tho if he is muslim that is a true religion iam muslim and i love being muslim u should talk to your self and visit muslim websites muslim has a big history then other religion if everybody in the world was muslim the there would be no pro but too bad there don't blieve different religions Response : Islamic Group | Reviewer: Killa Bee | 1/17/09 Touba is the name of a tree in paradise according to Islamic belief and a great saint gave that name to the town he founded in Senegal . So I think that Akon know that there is no Prophet from Touba of Senegal or the Touba of Paradise: he just made a metaphor meaning by that the holiness and the greatness of Prophets and winked at this town from where his spiritual guide is. TOUBA | Reviewer: romina | 9/22/08 the holy place is called TOUBA and not Kaaba and it is the most important religious city of Senegal....Akon was born muslim and all his family is the same...HE'S SO PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM who say that is not true???Romina from Italy....YAYE FALL What does he say? | Reviewer: Islamic Group | 9/15/08 In one of the lyrics it says that do you know about tuba where the prophets were born..Does he mean Kabbah? He makes no sense The prophets were not born in the kabbah... Some of them were born in different places. Well Hopefully one day he will become a practicing Muslim... Does anyone know if T-pain is Muslim?? I am. | Reviewer: Akon | 8/1/08 I know I don't act Muslim,but the truth is I am. I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be a truthful Muslim. I don't pray every day, but on some Fridays I pray in private. I hope one day I may be able to be a good Muslim.
