Music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony.
At Jerusalem, I went to the mosque and sat down. A man asked me what I wanted. I told him I was a Muslim. Now I realize I can get direct contact with God, unlike Christianity or any other religion.
Positive thoughts and prayer have been the best means available, since the beginning of time, to transform darkness to light.
The fact that the Prophet cared for every human being and tried his best to ensure their security in the hereafter must be the most telling of his compassionate and merciful characteristics.
In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think that’s kind of natural for anyone who’s just embraced Islam – or any religion – as a convert. It was important for me to duck out of the fast and furious life I’d been living as a pop star. I was in a different mood.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.

I let my music take me where my heart wants to go.
Miles from nowhere. Guess I’ll take my time.
Baby I know, the first cut is the deepest.
Can’t keep it in, Gotta let it out.

I know many fine feathered friends But their friendliness depends on how you do They know many sure fired ways, To find out the one who pays And how you do.
I’m looking for a hard-headed woman, One who will make me do my best, And if I find my hard-headed woman, I know the rest of my life will be blessed.
I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.
