Famous Irish Singer, Sinead O’Connor converts to Islam

Famous Irish Singer, Sinead O’Connor has accepted Islam today in Ireland, proclaiming her Shahadah (testimony of faith). She posted on twitter: “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada.” She also revealed that she had been given her first hijab by her friend Elaine and “got chills all over’ her body when she put it on.   Her conversion has since been embraced by Muslims online from around the world and she has been inundated with messages of support.
‘Thank you so much to all my Muslim brothers and sisters who have been so kind as to welcome me to Ummah today on this page. You can’t begin to imagine how much your tenderness means to me.’  
O’Connor was born in County Dublin in 1966 and rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. She has since produced ten solo albums. She is also famous for singing Conor McGregor’s entrance song “The Foggy Due”. Today, she, however, takes a new road in life, declaring the words “Alhamdulillah” (All praise due to Allah) as she begins her new life as a Muslim. She has also donned her Twitter page with verses of the Quran and a new display picture encouraging Muslim women to wear the Hijab. May Allah bless our new sister in Islam and make her conversion process easy and one filled with blessings.
