Short Answer: No.
Long Answer:
Although it is often speculated that he is, he is not.
Reasons to believe he is not are as followed:
1. Common's real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (No Muslim name)*Rashid is a Muslim name!!*
2. He does not have a Muslim background, nor does he have Muslim parents.
3. He calls himself the son of the "Author of Life" thus meaning the son of god.
In Islam it is prohibited to call yourself a child of god, although in Christianity, this is basic belief.
4. He writes in the song "Inhale" off of his latest album "Universal Mind Control"
"Gaspin for air
Air everlasting
Raps that are rare
***I write with christ***
Passionate stare
Way to heaven is to stay in step
Rap this deep like my man Johnny Depp
You never know the next one god coulda kept etc..."
However, sometimes he does call god "Allah" to unite the people from all faiths and to show respect.
Common has said on Many occasions that he is, in fact, Muslim. "I was taught only to fight in defense or at the will of Allah." a bar from Common's "Tekzilla" is one of many that suggests he is Muslim. His speaking of Christ is to show his love for fans of all Religious backgrounds, a name does not make you Muslim. A having non-Muslim parents does not keep one from converting to Islam.
The reasons given here for Common not being a Muslim are the most foolish ones I have ever heard! And, if he says that he is a Muslim, it is not up to you (or anyone else for that matter) to say that he is or is not. That is to be determined by him and ALLAH(swt) alone.
Not having a Muslim doesn't mean not being Muslim. That's stupid..ThenBarack Obama cannot be christian cause he has aMuslim name ? Yes I think he's Muslim you don't call God Allah if you're not.
