I got an email asking me if it's true that Bill Gates has converted to Islam. Seems like an odd question, but doing a google search uncovers that this rumor has been going around. Over at the
Ultimate Bill Gates site you can find lots of people asking if the rumor is true (scroll down to the comments section), and the
Gates of Vienna site reports getting lots of search-engine traffic from people searching for the phrase 'Bill Gates converts to Islam'. I think I've found the source of the rumor. Over at
Iraqitek.com, someone posted a screenshot of an arabic-language website that supposedly has a story about Bill Gates' Islamic conversion. I don't know any Arabic, so I can't tell what the screenshot says, but assuming that the text in the screenshot does describe Gates' new-found beliefs, it must be the source of the rumor. However, I have no idea where the screenshot itself came from. Oh, and to answer the original question: No, Bill Gates has not converted to Islam.

Bill gate converted to islam or not shouldnt be a joyous issue, faith is different from wealth.The other man who opposes is conversion, i wouldnt know your religion tho, but whatever faith bill belongs to, be it Islam, Christianity of Jews, does it add a thing to your hereafter.
Look, lets pray to God for ourselves in his divine mercy, I am muslim, and i am not a fool to have chosen this religion. I have nothing against christianity,l cos its the religion of the west!
But one thing we need to clear off our chest, is that the politics between the west and middle east, has negatively fabricated some people's belief about islam.But thats wrong Its a religion of peace.
Peace be ubto you all.

So hearing the rumour, that bill gate converted was a knock on my mind, what are some people happy for?. What if he converts,and doesnt perform his salat 5 times dail?, MONEY cant buy everything, his money doesnt even change a thing
What islam needs now is more than Gates conversion....Leave his faith for God to judge.
I have read the bible, and i have read the Quran..It was clear, the differences were their...I wonder why the bible has no self reference..so who wrote that book?
Bill Gates has
converted to Islam.
He found the true religion
and that is Islam.
Allah is Great!!!
Do yourselves a favour and check the book ``Why Am I Not a Muslim`` for once try to read with an open mind.
Cheers "
Believe me i did read books about many things i had debates with other people .
about a prophet ours is superior . show us why is he inferior please because i would rally like to know.
about women if your talking about how we dress her its a good for her . did u ever have a very beautiful gift . do u put diamond in the street so anyone can steal it ? i wish not . we think of women as something very expensive something that we should take care of . Yes For Us She Is
A Diamond .
Don't give any attention to my bad English i speak 3 languages , please read Quran just start !! if you don't find it convincing then stop reading it .
we r here for the truth !
i am very eager to know many famous persons who reverting to islam (his/her original born faith)like Bill Gates of America, because many others may follow suit his foot steps as people of materelist world, thus, actually the question to be addressed is whom is advantage for the conversion of true religion, it is for newcomer or those who already had the faith, but truelly speaking it is for the newconverter coming to refuge the harsh jugdement of Creator, who ordained to mankind to worship not but only him and to follow the true path of Messengers.
if you are suppressed to the conversion of like this rich man, know that he and his wealth are belong to Allah the Almighty, and it is a test for the owner, but finally everyone whatever hi is or she is will be front of his Lord to judge them.
Bill Gate is no more than a mortal person and very man is.
wealth of this world likewise no more than fabrication decieving its owner and it is mentioned in the Holly Quran so many times. like Qarun the owner of amazing wealth, then where he and his wealth ended up?
Grow up and stop trying to force your Stone Age beliefs on everyone else.
