I Believe is the second studio album of the Canadian Muslim singer-songwriter Irfan Makki, released by Awakening Records on 28 July 2011, after his Salam (2006); it runs 53 minutes. ^{1 2}

The original version has thirteen tracks: 'Waiting for the Call', 'Mabrook', 'I Believe' with Maher Zain, the Urdu 'Lab Pae Aati', 'Mamma', 'Palestine', 'Allahu', 'You & I', 'Khayal', 'Al-Amin' and 'I'm So Sorry', followed by an acoustic 'I Believe' and an Urdu 'Mabrook'. ¹

'Waiting for the Call' became the subject of recurring internet hoaxes claiming that Michael Jackson wrote it before his death in 2009 and that governments suppressed it or bought its rights; Irfan Makki stated in 2016 that he wrote and sang it, and the fact-checker Dubawa found in 2021 that Jackson had no connection to it. ¹ The museum records the story as a hoax, denied by the song's author and by fact-checkers.
