'My People' By Yusuf Islam (song for Egypt)- EXCLUSIVE song

[masrawy12311]

Instruments, it would have been better without music.

[haqakre50]

Have just come back from Reviving the Islamic Spirit conference in Toronto. Had the GREAT pleasure to listen to Brother Yusuf Islam speak and also listen to his song: My People. AMAZING !!!! If you were NOT touched by this, you have no heart !! And it applies to ANY people being oppressed ANYWHERE in the world !!!! Thank you Brother Yusuf !!

[PeaceTrainFan]

@haqakre50 wow! that must have certainly been an awesome conference. Im glad you enjoyed it, I know from personally seeing Yusuf live, what an inspirational and motivational speaker he can be. Thanks for sharing your experience, may we all glide on the peace train! take care :)

[YumnaBaqai]

@haqakre50 Oh my I was leaving when he started to sing this nasheed! I cried a lot because my parents were like after he is done...it will be all crowded and it will get late =( but Alhamdulilah I got his signature I was so glad

[YumnaBaqai]

@haqakre50 It was so nice that he included us in the singing...It is such a touching nasheed and being a part of it makes it even better cz you are totally involved in it

[TheKen2942]

Thank you , Yusuf Islam and Thank you Every body who supports human rights

From Egypt

[wingseclipsed]

I LOVE Yusuf?Cat Stevens, but this? He has relentlessly refused to involve himself in politics, (other than causes like Paul McCartney's landmine project), but this song both moves away from that philosophy and begins again to be divisive. I despise killing helpless people, but it is happening to all kinds of people around the world. Muslims (including me!) don't have the corner on that market

[PeaceTrainFan]

@wingseclipsed Hi! Not sure what your trying to say, maybe you can clarify it. But I think it is wrong to assume Yusuf has become completely 'political'.I think its a matter of human rights. If people deserve to be treated fairly in a dictatorship, then there is no 'political' reasoning to be against this, but more of a human reason. I'd say, he's just being human and stopping what he thinks shouldn't happen. Tc. Peace.

[wingseclipsed]

@PeaceTrainFan OK- What I meant is that Yusuf sees himself as a bridge to understanding with the West and East. But here by obviously singing about Muslims only. Yes you can apply it to anyone, but we know who he refers to here. I'd hate to see ppl thinking he was divisive in this. Most Americans anyway, think almost all Muslims are from the Middle East. Just a fleeting thought and not worth writing here about!

[PeaceTrainFan]

@wingseclipsed I understand what your trying to say. However, with all due respect, Yusuf has always done his best in the past to write songs for great causes. Like the one he did for the Tsunami in Indonesia. Its ironic to say but most of the problems are from places that have affected some muslims (like the tsunami, middle east conflict and these revolutions), however he also has a charity organisation called small kindness that helps people from all countries. We cant say he's only there...

[PeaceTrainFan]

to help all the muslims but just know if there is a crisis anywhere Yusuf would try and do as much as he can to help. For example he played at a concert last month for an organisation called 'peace one day'. It was great to be at the concert an organisation that supports everyone in the name of peace. I hope I haven't offended you, its just that I think some may see Yusuf only caring for muslims, but its not completely true. He has sung for unicef in the late 70's for eg. He has a good heart

[SelenaGomezlovefan]

@mrbigball1984 only someone iggnorant would say something like that! have a heart how would you like for someone to start trashing your religion?

[moondoctr]

Dedicate this song to America,which is killing its young people sending them to unwanted wars with peacefull nations for Oil.Even when US and West gets the free and robbed oil their innocent civillians are not benifitted.Still they have to pay high prices and only the Jewish multinational firms benifit out of it

[MsSamian]

He's very good I did not think I will like him but he's really good

[1Redouani]

Indeed ,,,the song is about all people who lost their freedom and dignity and there is more coming ....live free or die that s all

[amela260]

i realy like yusuf islam very much... he is realy great man...he helps a lot to all people...may ALLAH grant you Jannat.....i wish i could do at least a peace of what he is doing...peace to all people

[clubbering32]

@MrMADEINBORNEO please lets try to use better language to at least not drop as low as our opressors

[PeaceTrainFan]

@clubbering32 Thank you, you said exactly what was on my mind :) I don't tolerate with such bad language in my videos, glad to know a viewer agrees with me. Take care. :)

[turkmuslim4ever]

[Wanloqz]

...love Islam,love Yusof

[valentinegyrl]

Nice song indeed and for a good cause. Just FYI, Michael Heart also released a

song of his own about this. The song is called "Freedom". Worth a listen.

Check it out on YouTube.

[9Clutch]

Only one person disliked this video. That person's name is Hosni Mubarak.

[MrMADEINBORNEO]

@9Clutch No.. it's Benjamin Netanyahu...

Beautiful song. I hope the Peace Train and freedom spreads far and wide. Thanks, Yusuf!!! I hope your words are heard and help the process of freedom for all.

[trencio1]

Jedno z moich marzeń, do tej pory nie zrealizowanych. Koncert Yusufa (Cat Stevens w Polsce. Może kiedyś, in sha Allah. One of my dreams, not realised so far. A concert of Yusuf (Cat Stevens) in Poland. Maybe one day, in sha Allah.

[meshal15]

wow! Very nice! thank you

[dkiszonak]

Thank you for this song!!! A big fan of yours from Egypt! :)

[katydidscorner]

Thanks for uploading. I participated singing the "my people" words and sent it in to Yusuf. That was fun.

[kissesgriffith]

Very nicely done.............thanks for sharing...

[zo219]

Gee his voice is familiar ..

[IsmaeilAlKady]

@zo219 Cats Stevens or Yusuf Islam

[Turkkils]

@IsmaeilAlKady yusuf islam

[IsmaeilAlKady]

@Turkkils jazakallahu Khairan, thats what I said,:)Because he was cat stevens and now he is Yusuf Islam, some people recognize him by both names.

[toCassarah]

Thank you for uploading the song and the pictures. Hope it helps to spread the message of this beautiful song around . We are really living in times of change. The peace-train is on its way to the four corners of the world.

A very(!!) heartfelt thank you goes out to Yusuf to take this task and who allowed free people from all over the world to add their voice to the chorus of this song. My people is dedicated to all people who are still longing for the freedom we take for granted.

[SuperMiguelin]

Este señor is un grande entre los grandes.Un genio que sigue encantandonos con sus canciones y obras maestrasllenas de sentido y belleza. El solo de esa bendita generacion sigue fiel a sus idealkes. Siempre busco la paz interna y la de todos los humanos.

[68samee]

This is a song which touches hearts and souls. yusuf is telling everyone our poor muslim brothers and sisters only want to live peacefully. This is the truth and Yusuf tells it in the nicest way.

[fernandoRrivera]

Él, siempre consecuente, nunca estacionado, siempre preocupado y ocupado en la felicidad de las personas y en su armonía interior y con el resto de humanos, ha escrito una canción profunda que llegará al corazón de miles de millones de humanos que todavía luchan por alcanzar sus sueños, reavivando sus esperanzas y acciones. Todo un pueblo --el árabe-- lo inspiró, que confiamos continúe por buenos derroteros. FRI

[Eumel1003]

Great video! Thank you for posting this so quickly! Just some hours after the song has been released. What a strong message !

Peace & Happiness

Shukran  Yusuf ♥
