Actor and rapper Mahershala Ali is another celeb on our list who converted to Islam in his youth. The actor, who is a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, has a fascinating story when describing his spiritual epiphany that occurred while visiting a mosque. In his words: “I just had this really strong response where this prayer is resonating in my body, and I’m, like, crying. I woke up a week later, and I get up and I go, ‘I gotta go to the mosque.’ Long story short, I converted that day.”
