Question:Is Shaquille O'Neal A Muslim?

Yes he is.
He had Islam in his life through some close family members, and has recently converted entirely to Islam and started practicing the Islamic pillars including doing pilgrimage (HAJJ) which he will do this November, 2010 in Meccah, Saudi Arabia.



He talks about all this here in this video:

Interesting! I didn't know that either - first I've ever heard of it. I was pleased to hear the news when he came here to Boston, much more happy to hear he is planning to go on Hajj!! Allahu Akbar

I didn't see him at the Hajj! I know there were three million people there at the time, but Shaq sort of stands out

Lol! This is a good point!
