Sami Yusuf

Sami Yusuf

Yesterday, while at our friends’ place, we were introduced to Sami Yusuf, a British Muslim singer whose song “Al Mu’allem” (The Teacher) has been playing on the arabic Melody music channel.

It’s really a great song in both English and Arabic in which he sings about the Prophet Muhammad PBUH and Islam. The music and lyrics are so beautiful and his voice is so soothing.

Sami Yusuf was born on July 1980. He was born into a musical family of Azeri origin and thus music played an integral part in his life.

Sami is also a devout practicing British Muslim who sees songs as a means of promoting the message of Islam and encouraging the youth to be proud of their religion and identity.

I think what he’s doing is really great and I wish more and more people would try to follow.
It’s a really good way to promote the true peaceful message of Islam and give the Muslim world their pride in their religion back.

For more info on Sami Yusuf and his music, check out his official site.

  6. Assalamoe 3alaikoem my dear brother!

    may Allah guide you on the straight Path
    Ameen!!

    You have a beautiful voice masha Allah and your anasheed to!!
    But the point is:
    in your Nasheeds I’ve heard something like a wind/stringed instrument and those instruments are not good in the Islam my dear brother.
    You must know that I just want to help you insja Allah!
    May Allah forgive you All your sins and guide you on the straight Path. I want that your Nasheeds be acceptable in the Islam and that you receive more and more Hassanaat for this and may the Islam be scattered over the whole world through your Nasheeds. May Allah give you the Paradise Ameen!!!

    ought fie dien

    P.S. I hope that you’re not angry with me :(. I just want to help you!!

  7. dear brothers n siters,
    Assalam-u-alaikum,
    my name is saadia, i am 17 and i wud jus like 2 emphasise how important it is that these days in a world full of racism n prejudice it is important that young muslims are proud of their religion. Everyday in the news n media muslims r put down n criticised in what they believe. listening 2 sami yusuf’s naat i have learnt 2 luv my religion no matter what any1 thinks. he is a truly talented guy n has been gifted with a beautiful voice. may allah hel him to do more of this work.

  8. شكرا علي كل شي يجعلني استيقظ من الغيبوبة الدائمة
    شكرا يااجمل واقوي واعزب صوت
    اخوك خالد محي الدين من مصر
    والي الامام والله الموفق

    My name is aliyah, i am a british muslim, who is practising.I never used to be untill i met a muslim sister who showed me a new life. I remember when she gave me your Nasheed AL-MU-ALLIM as a gift which i’ll never forget for the rest of my life.It completly changed me. Your voice and your words has touched my heart and my inner soul. I am so thankful to allah the almighty who has guided me to a straight path, and showed me the new way of life.Amen.Who has sent me a friend like an angel to help me through this. I hear that you are studying at the moment. mashallah that is very good to know that you are gaing knowledge and wisdom. I pray to the Almighty to bestow you with knowledge, and wisdom and to accept your prayers. Ameen. I hope this messege reaches you. Keep up with the good work which you are doing, and i am sure that allah is very proud of you, because you have the noor on your face.And if you want you could be a great teacher, who could teach others about islam and our beloved prophet(p.b.u.h). Maybe you could teach me more and give me advice. inshallah. please reply back to me.

  15. Salam alykum wal ikram- Just would love to tell you all- that the way I was guided from Sunnism to alhamdolila being A Shia of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Shia (follower) of Ali Ibn Abi Talib was partly through anasheed, latmiyat and these truthful voices. The main thing in life is to be ma3a an Haq (with the truth) Allah yhfuthkum kilakum…I would advise you to go to the mosttt addictive website in the world- its not a chat but its called ..on google..shia chat (click first option) and there you will truly see amazinf stories!
