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.

  1. Thanks for the link Ahmad ๐Ÿ™‚

    And yes Sami is a great talent. We should all support him in everyway that we can.

    I hope more people follow in his footsteps.

  2. I really don’t know what to say. After listening to his song, I can’t disrespect my ears by hearing the cheap words and music of these days. I can’t watch the disgusting video clips of these so-called artists.
    Sami Yusuf is such a great talent, I hope more people will use their talents the right way as he did. I really wish he’ll be the start of a new time that will bring back respect and meaning to both artists and audience. God Bless Him!

  8. Salamat everyone.
    It’s very nice to read all of everyone’s responses. It’s so great to hear other muslim voices and know that there are many out there that do care about Islam, very rare here in the states espcially here in N.Y. where i live, to find that quality, not saying there aren’t. Alhamdilah that we have Muslim brothers like Brother Sami Yusuf, Brother Yusuf Islam, like the Brothers of Soldiers of Allah, and many more. I’m a muslim female and i’m so greatful to all of the people that are making an effort to reveal Islam in a way that would catch the attention to many. Inshallah, Brother Yusuf, make more songs! Jazak allah kuli khair

  9. i just don’t know how to express my feeling after i heared the song and the whole tape u just find gret light in my heart and my soul they were lost but with ur song and all love for muhamed(p.p.u.h)that was full in it.i found great light in my heart and my soul u can say i explore it.thank u so much i wish u the highest paradise with ur and our love MUHAMMED (p.p.u.h).thank u

  17. Assalamu alaikum and ramadan mubarak! Sami’s album is exellent, just breathtaking. i was wondering, Insha’Allah do you know how i could contact Sami? I’ve been trying for a year, please get back to me, Wasalam.

  18. you brought tears to my eyes with your soft words and your evident love towards our religion, the religion which has regretfully been discriminated against and negatively thought of. my heart prays and hopes that one day, through the glory which all your songs shine light on, we will be accepted as one, and rather understood for our beliefs and traditions.

    again the tears have fallen, as i hear beneath your voice. may God bless you, and yasirlak amrak through any hard times you may face… you have taken a step into the light, and touched my heart in ways which words cannot describe…

    if you read this, or anyone to that matter, please can u provide me with a link which i can directly contact sami yusuf.
    thank you

  19. Assalamualaikum brother sami yusuf.
    I would just like 2 say, u convey true meaning in ur nasheeds with a tremendous voice.
    u`ve made a great impact over the muslim nations across the globe purely because you are distinctive. I
    Ive always been awestruck with amazement of the beauty of when someone is totally into something.when hearing ur nasheeds u seem to be putting everything u have into it,making it sound so passionate and u unaware of all else.The emotion I feel is overwhelming when our creator is called upon that way and our prophet SAW is praised with such loyalty. You have both skill and dignity.
    Allah SWT has truly blessed you.

  20. السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
    first of all i want to wish u a blessing ramadan and to ur family and to all muslims in this world, then i want to mention that i am happy and lucky to hear ur song, coz it is one of the best songs that i heard in all my life, go on and allah bless u.
    والسلام خير الختام

  21. RaMadaN KaReEm 2 every one,and………sami yusuf ,,um ur biggest FAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  25. Elsalam ALikom wa Ra7matoo ALlah wa barkatouh…

    Dear Sami Yusuf ,

    May Allah always guides you and guides us to the right path and we all meet in heaven insh2Allah…Your effort is so beautiful and touchable…and I’d like to really thank the blessed team behind scenes too for their loyalty to Islam

    Barak Allah feekom ..

    Dear Brothers and sisters,
    we can all do many things for Islam Walahie. if everyone of us tries to work by heart and prosper in his studies or work for Allah’s sake…we’ll be doing a great thing for Islam as Muslims are the image of Islam, not all of us should be famous or stars to say that we have achieved something to Islam…but the most important and the greatest matter that we become well known to Allah as an obedient loving slave to Allah all praise to him …
    We can all be shinning stars for Islam in every day we survive and in every word we say or a deed we do

  29. السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته ..
    كيف حالك يا أيها الرجل العظيم سامي يوسف ؟
    لا أدري كيف أشكرك على هذه الأنشودة التي حولت من أحوال عديد م نالمسلمين إلى الأفضل .. أنا شخصياً أعجبت بها كثيراً .. و أتمنى أن تقدم للعالم الإسلامي المزيد و المزيد و لا تبخل علينا مما أعطاك الله من موهبة و صوت عذب يجذب قلوب الناس إليك لتهديهم إلى الصراط المستقيم .. أتمنى أن تحاول فهم ما أرمي إليه لأني لم أستطع أن أعبر عن ما يدور في خاطري إلى بلغة القرآن لغة النبي الكريم محمد صلى الله عليه و سلم ..
    و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته ..

  31. As salaamu alaikum,
    It was a beautiful album from the little I heard. Brother Sami Yusuf Allah has blessed you with a beautiful voice, why use so many instruments? By listening to your voice I only wonder what Hazrat Dawood sound like. Hehe. Anyway may Allah bless you and sisters stop proposing to the man, he’s probably married already with a voice like that….jeesh.
