Rap Singer Loon Talks About His Spiritual Journey To Islam
Interview with rap artist turned Muslim – 2 Jul 09 A growing number of rap artists are leaving the bad boy hip hop lifestyle for a more spiritual one. The Canadian Dawah Association says that an increasing number of rappers this year have embraced Islam or acknowledged they had in the past. Amir Junaid Muhadith, better known by his stage name, Loon, talks to Al Jazeera’s Sami Zeidan about his spiritual journey. www.islaam.ca Amir Junaid Muhadith (born Chauncey Lamont Hawkins, June 20, 1975) better known by his stage name Loon, formerly an African-American rapper who was part of P. Diddy’s Bad Boy Records. Amir (Loon) accepted Islam in Dec. 2008 whilst on tour in Dubai, UAE. His inspiring story of rising up from the ghettos of Harlem, NY to street-hustling and later making it in to the rap game and eventually realising the truth of Islam and becoming Muslim, is quite a story. Amir never attained true personal fulfilment despite enjoying the pinnacle of material life (wealth, success and fame), no matter how hard he strove, he couldnt attain that inner peace that can only be realised by submitting to ones Lord, living for the hereafter and not the present life, the complete contentment of believing in, worshipping and supplicating to the Lord of the worlds, practising the beautiful religion of Islam.

islam the way of life….
@Machelle3200 Wow this interviewer didn’t seem to respect this guy’s newfound person…what an idiot…
Whatever his religion doesn’t matter to me, but i’m glad he has left the satanic music industry……and P Honey Combs…that guy is the DEVIL!!
@cairo4448 Wow….that’s quite something to accuse……I don’t subscribe to any religion but you must have had a bad experience?
Loon was never a lyricist, so why is this host “putting him on the spot”. Loon will never be able to freestyle to save his life.

:: Cairo4448 – Better you study and understand about the Islam before you talk bad,and you will know why Islam give polygamy to a man.Try to study it dude..you will find all the answers.
only reason a black man would choose islam is because islam allows polygamy and the bad,unjust treatment of women.And what do black rap/r&b artists show in their videos? They disrespect women and view them as sex objects,so that is why islam is perfect for them.
allah is the greatest .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
