Mos Def
When he was a teenager, American hip-hop artist, actor, and comedian, Mos Def was introduced to the Islamic faith. At the age of 19, he took his shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of faith. He has been quoted with saying, “You’re not gonna get through life without being worshipful or devoted to something. You’re either devoted to your job, or to your desires. So the best way to spend your life is to try to be devoted to prayer, to Allah.”
