@DeadJesus100. Well yes and no, it depends how he uses the teachings. Like all religious texts and most monumental literature the interpretation is more than the content. Extremists take what they wish from the text to prove their values but don't appreciate the whole, I myself am secular if anything, not in any effort to discredit a religion but to allow myself to live beside it uninfluenced but tolerant of those whom are different. Any religion can be a cause for good,its simply subjective.
@DLPBurke No. He has become a more humble person. Do some research. Because he no longer shares his gift of music of the world the way he used to, doesn't make him a bad person. Islam itself is not evil, the way many have chosen to interpret it is questionable. As for the comments he made in the past that got him in such hot water with the west, he has recanted, stating that he himself was new to the religion and had interpreted the word of ALLAH incorrectly.
@DeadJesus100 No, it is a religion. And much like any other religion, it is worshiped by many a good person, and then there are unstable elements. People that use religion to justify non-religious agendas use hate and fear to separate peoples that would otherwise get along fine. It is stated in the Koran that is to respect the other two religions of the true God. Due to the lack of acceptance by the other two religions is why we have some of the discord that exists. Let go of your hatred.
@DeadJesus100 First of all, I am not Muslim. Second of all, I am not a monkey. Thirdly, hatred is non-denominational. You, yourself are feeding off of hatred and can't even recognize that fact. You hate them, because they hate you? They hate you, because you hate them? It's a useless circular argument. BTW your childish resorting to name calling does not help your argument. For the worlds sake, if not for your own, get an education. Stop watching FOX News.

Fav Cat/Yusuf song. Best bit 2nd verse (where he sings "times when i thought not") when the piano is really predominant and before he says "we" with almost a growling voice......Passion with a capital P..... 1:32

I had a friend who loved Cat. He even looked like Cat. His wife (One of my best friends died suddenly when she thought he had died - of a hear seizure they caled it). My friend was devastated. The first movie we saw after his wife's death was Soylent Green. later as per the movie, my friend Jeff put on the cassette tape of Tea For The Tillerman, turned on the engine of his VW van, ( from which he'd attached a hose to the exhaust) and died while listening to Cat. I'll always associate Jeff/Cat.

Possibly. Especially seeing as, as Yusuf Islam, he remade the track. He clearly likes the track.

How can you compare apples and oranges? Cat Stevens is the best and the ORIGINAL song. The amazing spiritual singing and music are just amazing. Just remember back home in El Salvador , listening and singing to the beat of this song. This song is soo universal! I just love Cat Stevens music... Where did the time go?
'Life is like a maze of doors and they all open from the side your on, just keep on pushin' hard boy, try as you may, your gonna wind up where you started from.' I LOVE this--Deep indeed when you wonder--where DID we come from???
You're not GOING to find too many young people who write like this for two very salient reasons: they're not as internally spiritual and this guy was and the advent of "American Idol" has really created a laughable monster.

This is like one of the best songs EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can four people thumb this down? There fucken idiots with bad taste in music.
VERY underrated artist, what a composer, musician, singer, performer. This album and Foreigner, Teaser And The Firecat and Tea For The Tillerman are incredible with nary a weak track on any of them. I feel he got a little off after Foreigner, but so glad he`s back doing pop music. I`m a big fan.
My dad died not too long ago and the one artist he always seemed to like was Cat Stevens. I can understand why now, he has some amazing songs and now I'm hooked
My ex-gf gave me a cat stevens cd that was hers cuz I liked it so much on our first date. I made her play this and a couple others over and over lol. I was like aren't you gonna need it? She goes naw I have it on my ipod lol.

This song is my favorite of the many hits, that he has produced.
It is so powerful, the piano sounds great and the singing is incredible.

VERY underrated artist, what a composer, musician, singer, performer. This album and Foreigner, Teaser And The Firecat and Tea For The Tillerman are incredible with nary a weak track on any of them. I feel he got a little off after Foreigner, but so glad he`s back doing pop music. I`m a big fan.

My dad died not too long ago and the one artist he always seemed to like was Cat Stevens. I can understand why now, he has some amazing songs and now I'm hooked
