No, that's false.
"A myth widespread in Muslim countries is that Armstrong (and Aldrin) converted to Islam after their flight. While on the moon they heard a strange singing voice that they discovered was the adhan. In March 1983, the United States Department of State was forced to release a press statement that for embassies and consulates in Muslim countries that attempted to dispel the myth noting that Armstrong had not moved to the country of Lebanon, nor converted to Islam." -- from Neil Armstrong's biography on the website Famous: Famous People and Their Lives.

No, it isn't true.
But he was 33rd degree Mason, and he did help establish the first Masonic Lodge on the Moon.
