Read Wissam Al Mana’s Cryptic Message

Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana posted a cryptic message to his website Thursday that was seemingly aimed at estranged wife Janet Jackson. The couple split last week, three months after their son, Eissa, was born.

He shared the following passage from the Quran:

“You shall most certainly be tried in your possessions and in your persons; and indeed you shall hear many hurtful things from those to whom revelation was granted before your time, as well as from those who have come to ascribe divinity to other beings beside Allah. But if you remain patient in adversity and conscious of Him — this, behold, is something to set one's heart upon. - 3:186​”

Even though they’re not together anymore, a message for Jackson remains on his site in the “love” section. It reads: “To the most beautiful person in the world, thank you for your divine love, your eternal support and for being my best friend. I love you so much, inshallah. We will be together in the Great Forever x.”

The couple did not issue a public statement after they’re breakup, which was reportedly caused by their different cultures.

“Wissam wanted a wife who stuck more with the Muslim traditions,” an insider told Us Weekly Wednesday. “Even before the baby was born, they clashed and butted heads a lot.”

Jackson, 50, didn’t like her career taking a backseat to her personal life. “[She] thought her career was suffering and she started resenting Wissam for it,” the friend said. “She couldn't settle down and be what he wanted her to be. Janet wanted more freedom.”
