The Grammy award-winning singer once revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had struggled with depression, and PTS for many years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinead O\u2019Connor, who changed her name to\u00a0Magda Davitt last year, has reportedly converted to\u00a0Islam, having now taken a new name, Shuhada, which means \u201cmartyr\u201d in\u00a0Arabic.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made on\u00a0an unverified Twitter account, where she also posted a picture of\u00a0herself in\u00a0a hijab.<\/p>\n

\n

This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian\u2019s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada\u2019<\/p>\n

She also retweeted a video by\u00a0Imam Shaykh Dr. Umar al-Qadri of\u00a0her saying the Islamic declaration of\u00a0faith:<\/p>\n

\n

I keep getting the Arabic words wrong!! I\u2019m so sorry!! I\u2019ll get them right eventually. In sha Allah https:\/\/t.co\/DVzkDcjuJU<\/a><\/p>\n

O\u2019Connor also changed her Twitter profile image to\u00a0a Nike symbol with\u00a0the caption \u201cwear a hijab. Just do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While she\u2019s been inundated with\u00a0welcome messages from\u00a0Muslims, other social media users have suggested that O\u2019Connor was only looking for\u00a0attention:<\/p>\n

Some hinted at\u00a0her previous revelations about\u00a0her mental health issues, saying that she was unstable:<\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately Sinead is quite unstable. I don’t think choosing a religion will make her…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
