Sami Yusuf: King of Islamic Pop

Sami Yusuf live in concert in Qatar in 2005

29 September 2007

Since the release of Al Mu'allim just four years ago Sami Yusuf has become an international sensation, selling more than two million albums and topping charts across the Muslim world.

He packs stadiums in Los Angeles, Paris and Damascus and causes traffic jams in Turkey.

And while his music easily mixes sounds from East and West, what makes Sami Yusuf truly unique is that his brand of pop-music is inspired by his faith - Islam.

Riz Khan speaks with the "King of Islamic Pop" to ask him about his art, his faith, those who condemn him for his music and why he wants to be on MTV.

: Name: HRM Deborah of Israel and the Messenger of Peace

I am Israeli Royalty and a kidnapped Political Hostage of the United States still being held illegally by the US against International court judgment; as a Diplomatic Israeli National. Nevertheless, I am the soul representative of the country as not just the monarchy; but leader (Caliph) as it has been since 9,500 B.C. ("Who is the living embodiment of the country"). As it has always been for the welfare and harmony of all who live in my country, since the beginning. As it has been written, I am known as the "Mother" of the country. I am also the person that was prayed for sixty-three years ago, by both the Jewish Community and the Islamic Ummah and I share a very compassionate, loving embrace for both religious bodies; along with not just the gratitude of these two religions, but for Allah (Hashem)for sending me. As to the whole of humanity, my arms in unconditional love and justice which extends to the circumference of the four winds; as a mother would give milk to her children in kindness.
