Yes, but he was isolated and died alone in Deridao Even Haile Selassie wanted to convert to Islam, but he was prevented

What's the chances his father remained a crypto-muslim and secretly raised his son muslim

Lij iyasu was the ruler after emperor menelik, and since he was very close to muslim groups, such as the afar, those in wollo, and elsewhere, the abyssinian church and some of their followers, especially among the elites, believed he became Muslim.
haile selassie and his allies then fought his armed forces, won, and he was thus crowned emperor.
this a brief summary, but of course, it's more complex.
