<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Hans Raj Hans' Alleged Conversion to Islam|2=[[File:Hans Raj Hans.jpg|170px|link=Hans Raj Hans - Conversion to Islam]]|3=The claim of Hans Raj Hans' conversion to Islam is the product of an inaccurate media story originating from a February 19, 2014 interview with the singer conducted by a local news agency in Pakistan. Hans Raj Hans, Navraj Hans and Yuvraj Hans have all made public statements concerning the story's inaccuracy, stating in no uncertain terms that it is false. The singer did not convert from Sikhism to Islam and is not a Muslim.
Hans makes no secret of his respect for Islam, Sufi saints or Pakistan. This is not surprising considering his style of music or the fact that Pakistan houses the first Gurdwara (Sikh worship place) ever built. Just as his respect for Pakistan does not make him a Pakistani, respecting Islam does not make Hans Raj a Muslim. It does however make it easier to proliferate false stories concerning both.

As with urine, milk, and alcohol, Muslims often make claims of their religious beliefs being backed by science. However, in May 2011, a BBC investigation found that genuine Zamzam water taken from the well contained arsenic levels three times the legal limit, something which could contribute to increasing people's risk of cancer. In addition to the dangerous arsenic levels, the holy water contained high levels of nitrate and potentially harmful bacteria. (read more)
