15 Celebs You Didn’t Know Were Muslim

9. Mos Def

Mos Def started to be very introspective of religion at a young age. Even though his father was Muslim, he was not really exposed to Islam until he was 13. When he was 19, he declared himself a Muslim and his faith has driven him ever since. He says that Islam’s sole interest is the welfare of mankind, and therefore Islam is the strongest advocate of human rights anywhere on Earth.
