Yusuf Islam Welcome in Palestine

American singer Yusuf Islam attends the "Ivor Novello Awards" at Grosvenor House in London on May 24, 2007.

Yusuf Islam was invited to perform at an event celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Peres Center for Peace and had received a personal invitation from Jewish President Shimon Peres.

While I do not understand the actual reason Yusuf Islam is not being accepted in Palestine, HRM Deborah of Palestine does give him permission and it was kind of Jewish President Peres to invite him; but unless something is explained to me otherwise, Islam may come.

As to any problems or fears on entering the country, accept for our current Canaanite terrorist problem; I am sorry to say, otherwise I can not foresee any problem.

As to Yusuf Islam personally, while I have very much enjoyed his Nasheed’s, I also understand he is a good man and does believe in charity, to peace for all people. I have followed Yusuf Islam’s career the best I could, since I was a teenager.

The song I enjoyed the most of Yusuf Islam’s when I was a teenager was called, “Oh Very Young” and I still enjoy it even today; probably because of it’s classical overtones and appreciate music such as this, coming from such a gifted man.

As to the last few years, of Yusuf Islam being subjected to Islamophobia and remarks that is clearly not him, especially from the US; I have always found to be appalling.

Nevertheless, anytime Yusuf Islam wishes to come to Palestine, he is very welcome to do so, unless like I said, unless someone appropriately tells me different; because of Yusuf Islam's mistreatment outside of Palestine. With him having been subjected to Islamophobia, in the US, for I know, I do not have any problem; with the good people in my home country which I appreciate there thoughtful judgement very much.

This makes me think of one of those times when people at home can not see me and may forget sometimes, how much I love and appreciate everyone in my country and have to feel like I am stumbling with words to try and explain something good and yes, I say this with a kind, happy smile.

Something maybe I do not say often enough, is within my country I see a very large loving family that are both Jewish and Muslim; which I keep everyone very close in my heart, with the further hope inshaallah (Allah [God] willing) to one day seeing my countrymen. If by some chance, I do not get to see everyone; my love will never diminish, for I will love my family my whole life.

All For You

Live for the sake of Allah and do good in all things, for in doing so; the whole world profits.-HRM Deborah

No matter if it is in good times or in hardship, if you always remember to look towards Allah, especially in hardships, they will become small.

The greater the hardship, love will overflow and ones faith will grow and you will embrace your fellowman with honesty and compassion.

In this way the hardship that you were subjected too, you do not wish for others, but give better.

Nasheed by the Noor

Colors Of Islam

Everyone in the world should love each other, do good towards each other; for the sake of Allah and righteousness.

For this is one of the focal points of Islam, is to always give love and do good towards all people on the earth.

This is why many feel that Islam is not just the fastest growing religion in the world, but also the second largest; because everyone is welcome, but those who are not Muslim, is to be showed also with love and given kindness.

Nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

The Prophet (PBUH)

About Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the fortitude of Islam.

Nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby Ali, from the Album 'A Whisper of Peace.'

Animals Love Quran

Animals love to hear Qur'an, try it out some day
They'll stop to listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah is Ar-Rahman
and sent a book to guide us all
Even animals love Qur`an.

Something, I have noticed about animals, birds especially, they not only love just the Quran, but also, about any word spoken in Arabic. It is often a wonder, if it is partly because Arabic is one of the oldest spoken languages among humanity or the fact that Allah choose this language to teach some of the most beautiful things to humankind.

The two words that they seem to like most is, Allah and Muhammad (PBUH), birds will tend to start singing when they hear these words.

There favorite singing is usually from Nasheeds, I play these often for my birds, because it makes them very happy.

Actually, what is said in this video, I have actually seen.

This Nasheed is by Dawud Wharnsby.

Full of humility

by HRM Deborah

Humility is a reminder to always be modest and respectful of not just Allah, but towards all humanity; to also remember to not think better of oneself above others.

For in doing so, you will think better of those around oneself and you will even be content towards your inner self.

For a truly humble person keeps to prayer, has patience, is kind, along with keeping there eyes always towards Paradise.

Furthermore, you will never see a humble person puff-up like a blowfish, when confronted with ill words or hardships.

Nevertheless, a humble person is more likely to be focused on the world around them, for they are contented in there life and wish to make life easier for others.

Nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Rhythm of Surrender

Rhythm of Allah

Can you hear the rhythm of Allah's creation?

The rhythm of the clapping of the thunder and the rain?

Can you see the rhythm of Allah's creation?

The lightening and leaves and the seasons as they change?

Nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby Ali

Who is the Loved One?

La ilaha illa Allah
Muhammadun Rasulu Allah,
Muhammad (PBUH) is the Messenger
To Allah is our return
La illaha illa Allah
Muhammadun Rasulu Allah
Allah; Allah;
Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)
All praise is due to
The One and the Only
He is the Master
Of all creation
He’s the Sustainer
And the Maintainer
Of the whole universe

Nasheed by Sami Yusuf

May Allah protect the people of the world, from those who wish them harm and suffering upon all humanity; may everyone love each other instead. -Deborah

Afraid to Read

Entrance to the cave of Hira.

The Quran is the bread that nourishes the soul and water to quench the thirst, of how we should walk and live full lives.-Deborah

Muhammad (PBUH) in the Cave of Hira

Muhammad (PBUH), used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira (because he loved it there so much) where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days before his desire to see his family.

He used to take with him on his journey food for his stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadijah to get more food when needed, until suddenly the truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira.

The angel Gabriel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read.

The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more.

He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.'

Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time until I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?'

Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, 'read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from a clot, read! (96.1, 96.2, 96.3)

Muhammad (PBUH) was afraid because he met the angel Gabriel, but in our modern times where there is too many instances of some people living poor lives and allowing the Quran to be covered in dust; having fallen backwards to be almost able to say, to the pre-Islamic times.

The Quran is not just a book one plants on a shelf or a stand, but the true word of Allah given to Muhammad (PBUH) and should be the lifeblood of every Muslim, as well as is a gift for the betterment of all humanity.

Furthermore, less we also forget, that Muhammad(PBUH) lived his life by the teachings of the Quran, gave to humanity and was a humble man that lived his whole life for Allah.

Nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby

Not Afraid to Stand Alone

I am not afraid to stand alone

If Allah is by my side

Everything is going be alright

Going to keep my head up high.

The People of the Boxes

'There were once some people who all saw their lives like empty boxes.'

Nasheed by Dawud Wharnsby

Seal Of The Prophets

Muhammad (PBUH) is not the father of any your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last (end) of the Prophets. And Allah is Ever All Aware of everything.

Seal of the Prophets is a title given to Muhammad(PBUH) by a verse in the Qur'an (Al-Ahzab 33:40); Muslims traditionally interpret this verse as meaning that Muhammad (PBUH) was the last prophet, until the end of time prophesies where to begin.

Nasheed by Yusuf Islam

Where We Belong

And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah [God]) and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein forever. Al-Baqara 2:82

The aim of the album where this nasheed came from was, “to try and portray, in a small way the many diverse cultures, languages and traditions that humankind posses;” with the hope that people will become closer to Allah (God) to attain peace and success for their future. Nasheed is by Zain Bhikha

Last Breath

By Ahmed Bukhatir

A nasheed about death and what lies ahead for us all, do not forget to repent often as well as live a good life, for you never know when the day of death will come.

Ramadan Mubarak

I wish many blessing's and inshaallah much happiness to everyone!

Those Seeking Help in Allah

If you are true to the teaching's given by Allah through Muhammad (PBUH), those who do not know; will find these things within your heart.

For it will be as though they see a light upon your face.

In turn, they will go to the Masjid (Mosque), asking for help and guidance; praying to Allah for repentance and revert to Islam.

They will not come in one’s, but by many.

Alhamdulillah

Slowly Slow

(They are) those who are patient ones, those who are true (in faith, words, and deeds), and obedient with sincere devotion in worship to Allah. Those who spend (give the Zakat and alms in the Way of Allah) and those who pray and beg Allah’s Pardon in the last hours of the night.
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, 3:17)
