And where did this come from? No, he was not a Muslim. If there are any books on this subject they will not be good as they will be fiction, or more correctly a pack of lies.

If Shakespere belonged to any religious group besides the Curch of England he was a closet Catholic. Some of the phrase in Hamlet and other plays hints at this, although other lines in Hamlet suggest the opposite; contradictions within the same play regarding his personal beliefs. Afterall is Hamlet's dad in purgatory, a Catholic doctrine, or in hell, which makes you wonder how he can leave hell but anyway.
Never in his work is there even scant evidence to suggest he was a muslim, I've never even heard of anything that the Baptised buried in consecrated ground by christian burial man did to even suggest it. Apparently some historians were quite bored lately.

Unlikely at best - He is more likely to have been a Christian.
