Lately, I’ve found myself listening to a lot of old Cat Stevens music. Stevens, the 70s pop superstar who abandoned his music career to devote his life to the faith of Islam, now goes by the name of Yusuf Islam.
After converting to Islam, he didn’t record or perform music for over 2 decades, during which he devoted his time to study of Islam, as well as humanitarian and philanthropic efforts. In the past few years though, he has released several albums. According to Yusuf, he had to figure out how “music could fit in with his new faith.”
While browsing YouTube, I came across this beautiful song he wrote for his baby daughter to teach her the Arabic alphabet. Enjoy.
