Troubled rocker Pete Doherty has reportedly turned to Islam after being imprisoned in London's Wormwood Scrubs jail.
Doherty asked for a translation of the Quran and is now 'lapping it up', reports thesun.co.uk.
One of Doherty's friends said: 'He's been reading the Quran since he went into segregation. He's got a lot of Muslim friends and they've been on at him for ages to study it. Now he's on his own and he's got time on his hands to study it.
'I'm surprised how much it has calmed him down as he was very on the edge inside. He definitely seems more chilled. He's lapping it up and really interested in it. I think it's helping him in there.'
Doherty has been having a difficult time since his 14-week sentence began for violating probation by taking drugs.
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.
Interesting read, JazkaAllah Khayr!
May Allah swt continue to guide him and us all..Ameen

That's pretty much what somebody wrote when Michael Jackson allegedly turned to Islam a while back (I need to google what happened about him since then) ... that wouldn't have been you too, Barney???
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker
[Psalm 95]
Nope, not me, but i would take that, and Pete's reversion as a definate sign of a benificent deity stepping in fo the good of his creation.

“The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs is afflicted, the whole body responds to it with sleeplessness and fever”.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
