  • thx allah for giving as the gift of being muslim first !!! and for giving as yusuf islam :)

  • Comment removed

  • He's cool

  • Good song and singer.

  • Into this time of terrorism from Islamic forces, the world grows cold to Muslims so altruistically we have Yusuf/Cat Stevens showing himself and his religion to be PEACEBEARING. If he doesn't educate you in this manner, if you cannot see it, then I'm so sorry, but he stands as an ICON for charity, hope, love. and peacefulness in life. God bless him and his songs that thrill us all.

  • Is it possible to get the names of all these great musicians?

  • Love it. Al-hamdu'illah.

  • This video is amazing and the song is amazing, yusuf islam sings very well

  • Comment removed

  • one critisizes becuase he finds solice in this.It its standard human behaviour to critisize when he feels threatened.... we are programmed to talk about god... good or bad keep on thinking people much love V xxxx

  • This is definitely one of your best songs, Yusuf. Hope you will do it on your new tour. AWESOME video!!PEACE and LOVEXX

  • I'd love to take a huge paper trimmer to that nasty-ass beard! He looks stupid.

  • @FabricadoNoBrasil Well, I like that garden gnome look.

  • Good song although it does need more cowbell.

  • ignorants says their foolishness again and again.anyway you are great.i love your music.May allah bless you.Peace

  • He was a good singer,but now he is he brainwashed and want to kill...Such a shame.One time he was weak, he was on drugs, islam took him..

  • @dragonfly4004 say what listen up.... he wasnt week and by changing your religion your voice doesnt randomly crack and become crap. islam never took him islam is a beutiful religion its you uninformed idots who jump to shit conclusions based on propaganda open your eyes.... and look i mean actually look research find out the truth dont let some other person do the thinking for you.... i pity you :(

  • Maybe Some Musilms Kill & Bomb , But Islam don't tell them to do that for us (musilms) they aren't musilm

    We Love Every Religion , and We Are PROUD To Be MUSLIMS

    Cat Or Yusuf You ROCK !!!

  • i love you brother .may allah bless you.

  • @therealalgerian allah is no longer for Cat Stevens If you go to Yusuf Islams web page you can read him saying why he has dropped Islam From His Stage Name and that he will not wear islamic clothes or a turban and that he regrets being a conformist to the islamic crowd when he first converted. We are seeing the true Cat Stevens near the end of his life now understand that death threats and islamic fundamentals are anti human and not God he is changing he was great he can be great again

  • @redshirtish yeh ?true ? ahhaha idiots .

  • @therealalgerian true muslims bomb church in Iraq muslims bomb church in Egypt muslim kills Pakistani govenour for wanting to change Sharia Law everday the news is full of the muslim wild donkeys raising their fists and attacking all men

    tnhey shall be crushed and Algerians are spongers on French social security the wild donkeys will be tamed

  • @redshirtish : no man......i'm just say MUSLIM NOT A TERORIST

  • @redshirtish WITH WHAT RIGHT DO YOU GO AROUND CALLING MUSLIMS DONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and how dare you insult algerians we were not the ones who invaded your country for 102 years so if anyones the terroroist its you french arse holes...... no offence to any french people i happen to really like france and enjoy visiting the french countryside and i enjoyed my stay at paris.. though i have to say les escargots is not my idea of a nice dinner lol.... love you australia. aussie born and proud

  • subhanallah :')

  • It is the Muslims - the misguided children of Ishmael, that claim a promise that is not theirs. Yes, some of us are smart enough not to believe the Lies of Islam.

  • @DreadStorm: Nowhere in the Torah nor in the Bible is there any refernce to "the misguided children of Ishmael". In fact in the Torah it says that hte descendents of Ishmael will be a blessed nation.

    So, its either what the books say or what your ego says. I think anybody who is smart enough will go with what the books say. Cheers!

  • @swing2bop1 I didn't say the book said that. I said that. The books - all of them - simply confirm it. When studying something, one should always take other sources into account - the atheists taught me that. And when one studies a book - Bible, Qu'ran or other - one should also take history and culture of the times into account also.

  • @swing2bop1 Genesis says that the descendants of Ishmael are like wild donkeys and they will raise their fists and attack all people and attack their own brothers. We see that today.

  • @redshirtish so fascinating um may i mention that the prophet mohammed was not a descendent of ishmeal and that he was an arabian and that your simply applying the wild donkey quote to jews and christians as they are the decendents of ishmeal.....have fun feeling like idiots

  • if occident truely want peace he must gives palestinien poeple his part of earth and posibility to built a free,stable country.Israel must respect onu resolution.

  • At least he is modernizing islam in his small ways. Shame he had to embrace such a anti innovation, anti creativity and anti thinking religion

  • @jeannshi

    watch?v=CPS-_FI56ic

  • @AlmuizMAk Your link doesn't work

  • @jeannshi do you people know anything about islam and im not talking loser freaks who think bombing is going to get them anywhere or fat lard arses who sit down on throwns of islamic countries and stuff thier pig faces im talking the real deal. the true religion the spiritual, peacful, accepting message sent from god allmighty.

  • @exanessa1234 humm, the true religion! so others are false, peaceful...well, av heard enough threat and seen killings in my short life on planet earth and all committed in the name of Allah, accepting message from God almighty...well, you can accept whatever message that comes from wherever, just don't force it on others as the only truth. Do i know anything about Islam, sure I do. Do i know everything about Islam, sure I don't and I don't think it is possible anyway.

  • @jeannshi what i meant by true religion was true islam. and yes america could bomb the whole middle east in one day but lets seee. oh yeah over 50 % of its oil supplies are from the middle east and what would the rest of the world say about it its not as simpe as a click of the finger. also killing for allah no such thing..... killing to defend your self and defend your religion yes that does exist in islam. in islam killing a innocent preson is equivelant to killing all of humanity.

  • @exanessa1234 The oil thing doesn't hold. If you can be wiped out in a day,therefore oil reservoir can be built in weeks for delays are always cause by resistance. mean time, there is enough stock to last few days in the rest of the world that matter. My point is, the west has never had intention to have you gone coz it is not a probability but something practicle and realizable. Beside, the west discovered that oil, built the platforms before you took over.Therefore, It can still be done

  • @jeannshi I have no issue with your belief, i have issue with your condescending attitude that you are the sole custodian of truth.

  • @exanessa1234 As of bombing, if the west really did want to clear the whole middle east, it wouldn't take a day. Ask the Japanese in ww2. Now the question is, what exactly are you trying to say?

  • @jeannshi ISLAM is peacful..... crazy freak extremest who hasnt left one religious law un boken yes probably a violent murderer. .... but i dnt blame all christians for what the cook cluks clan do, and they are violent christians........... i dont blame all jews for the things the iserally goverment does becuase in every apple tree there IS somerotten fruit but that doesnt mean the rest of it isnt sweet. i completely agree that terrorism is a bad thing and i love democracy and australia!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • more cowbell

  • I was raised to be a protestant christian. All i know is that we have to learn that religion should not divide us! This world needs us to work together to help the poorer people to have a better life.

  • @gerwaltb love the way you think muslim jew christian we all have 2 eyes ears hand and legs were all humans we should work together as one nation and make progress instead of going backwards through the discrimination of others...XD yeahhhhhhhhh chears to peace and prosperity and a happier future for all inhabitants of earth

  • stop the middle eastern wars, And we must let Israel be, if we are to live in harmony!

  • i dunno whre RealityCheckHero bought the Koran.But it seemd lke there r sum language limitations on which u were translating it directly w/o interpreting the verse.but it seemd like there's no use of you interpreting the verse since you are lackng of knwledge n already be on a side.The seeker of truth is the one who have no side,only to the truth.Arguing wif unreliable resource of hadith and quranic verse is leading to failure. Do u know there are levels' of hadith?If no, better stop arguing.

  • Ppl leave this stray mind alone, he will come with many lies to justify his hatred against Islam, his vision is tunneled and he is looking at Islam thru hate lens, I am referring to realitycheck, this check will happen to him after he passes away but then it will be too late. U r unnecessarily arguing with this slimey bastard,

  • I wish Yusuf would have mentioned Allah in this song because the Christians would say that he is sining about Jesus because they think Jesus is the Light.

  • @dallase1 Does it matter though? If this song has meaning for Christians then thats great imho. In the end the message of most religions are not mutually exclusive. The characters a different but they message is the same, sin is bad, sin hurts others and you will be rewarded for not being a sinner. So...be good...thats something all religions have in common and if this song is a reminder of that to any one of any religion or nationality...thats good in my book

  • @dallase1 This song is about a chick, sorry.

  • @ashburnhouse Mmm, yeah, I preferred the first version in Harold and Maude. Changing the words around to make it religious has screwed up the flow of the song.

  • Yusuf Islam said: "Salman Rushdie must be killed. The Q'uran makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet, then he must die."

    (Source: Philadelphia Inquirer, February 24, 1989, p.5A)

    Yusuf Islam is a two-faced swine who writes children's songs one day, and calls for murder the next.

  • @RealityCheckHero If you can find me a religion that doesn't, at any stage, call for punishment of unbelievers or defamers, I will begin to take you seriously.

  • @RealityCheckHero your mind is clearly lost you probably started hating Muslims after 9/11 am i right i know i am

  • Goodness, this is good!

  • may ALLAH bless u Yusuf Islam..Alhamdulillah...

  • Nuggets of "peace" from the Prophet Mohammed's mouth:

    "Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us." (Tabari IX:69)

    "We are men who think that there is no shame in killing." (Ishaq 489)

  • @RealityCheckHero who the hell Tabari??? Ishaq??? please respect yourself by using a more reliable sources, just that much... "SEEING THEY SEE NOT, HEARING THEY HEAR NOT, NEITHER DO THEY UNDERSTAND..."

  • @epoxsam

    Mohammed was a terrorist. He murdered hundreds of people. Ordered a few stonings. Killed a few people who mocked him. He even said it himself:

    "I have been made victorious with TERROR" (Bukhari 4:52:220)

  • cat said I wish to express my heartfelt horror at the indiscriminate terrorist attacks committed against innocent people of the United States yesterday. While it is still not clear who carried out the attack, it must be stated that no right-thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action. The Qur'an equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity. We pray for the families of all those who lost their lives in this unthinkable act of violence

  • @RealityCheckHero continuous..as well as all those injured; I hope to reflect the feelings of all Muslims and people around the world whose sympathies go out to the victims of this sorrowful moment

  • @billymorrison17 he's a man not a prophet nor angel, he's not perfect but very opened not same as freemason which so closed, he's became more calm and more kind since in Islam in JANUARY 2007 he's Yusuf Awarded Mediterranean Peace Prize and Yusuf Joins the 'Dear Mr Fantasy' Bill and many2 awarded

  • @billymorrison17 there's a good and bad moslem too, same with all of us....and visite yusuf islam sites, you'll see a lots about him but not in CNN...wake up buddy now its 21st century in a silver logo which its mean everything are Grey not black and white but you'll see then

  • @RealityCheckHero

    i dont know if someone lied to u about such a words , or u'r trying to make them up from ur minds , please remmember , no one belived in jueses ( peace be upon him ) when he told the people that he's a massenger of ALAH when his age was only few days ,,, if u want to know the truth , for ur own seek ,, then try to find it , just try so u'de be sure , it wouldn't harm if u read the Quran , see if it's contains any of the things that the media about islam ..peace

  • @AhmedGBL

    "The punishment of those who wage war against God and His Apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter" (Quran 5:33)

    Yep, murder, crucifixion, beheading and amputation. Welcome to the Religion of Peace™.

  • @RealityCheckHero u r quoting it out of refernces, it is for war satutation only donot misguide ppl

  • @RealityCheckHero cat said: wish to express my heartfelt horror at the indiscriminate terrorist attacks committed against innocent people of the United States yesterday. While it is still not clear who carried out the attack, it must be stated that no right-thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action.

  • @billymorrison17

    There's a video of Yusuf Islam from UK TV in 1989. There he says he would like to see Salman Rushdie burned to death, and that if Rushdie came to his house, he would call the Ayatollah Khomeni so that Rushdie could be detained and killed.

    The video used to be available on Youtube until Yusuf Islam hushed it up with a "copyright" claim. LOL

    Y. Islam is two-faced pig who sings about peace one day, and calls for murder the next.

  • @RealityCheckHero dont simply jump to conlcusion. please do a proper research on islam so that you really understand. peace to you.

  • @RealityCheckHero okay first of all i dnt kow were you got that hadith from but the prophet wouldnt kill the man who brutally stabbed his uncle and cut out his liver for his enslaver. the prophet also accepted the lady who ate his uncles liver into his religion and forgave her and her husband "ABU-SUFYAN AND HIND". the prophet after the battle of badr had captives.. he didnt kill them he offered each one his freedom by teaching a 10 muslims to read and write...... he was the most merciful man.

  • i don't care what he believes ....all i know is that i love his music....

  • he is a very good musician we must admit that religion is for the human and not for god everybody has to choose his religion

  • Love it!!! awesome; peace to all mankind!!!

  • cowbell!!!!

  • Love and Peace!

    - EGYPT : )

  • I'm sorry people, I was under the impression we were listening to his music... I guess I was wrong. Turns out he's standing on a pulpit telling you all what to believe... oh wait! No he isn't. Grow from the music. If you don't want to take his road, don't. It doesn't mean you can't carry some extra wisdom with you. Everyone has something to say and to teach. Especially through music. Even Muslims. Chill.

  • Alhamdulillah! When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s and I played all my father's Cat Stevens songs on my record player, I developed a kinship with him. Its like he is an anam cara. Yet now that he is playing his old stuff again and we have both converted to Islam---I see we were doing the same soul searching through his music. Thank you, brother Yusuf, masha'allah!

  • masha'ALLAH may ALLAH bless you both

  • sorry to say that.but there's no religion more monotheiste than islam.

  • @TheLibyanaify Christianity believes there is only one God.

  • @Catlovertea4 I do not worship that which you worship

    Nor do you worship Him Whom I worship

    Nor am I going to worship that which you worship

    Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I worship

    You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.

  • @Yamm96 .... and .. ?

  • @Catlovertea4 basically shurrup bout religion

  • @Yamm96 ... chol.. You made the comment, stating our religious positions. Was there something else you were wanting to say beyond that? And I apologize, but I don't remember having a conversation with you about our beliefs. Interesting how I've seen where many people write their praises of their Allah. I have never read anyone telling them to "shut up" about it.

  • @Catlovertea4 - Not really, they believe Jesus is God so if you are Muslim, you must worshipping another God.

    If everyone believed in One God, there should be peace!

  • @MsArtitude Yes! And Jesus proved that he was God in the flesh. Imagine. God, the one true God - giving Himself up and coming to this earth as a man - to then give himself up as a human sacrifice in order to unite us with Him. We, mere humans. He, perfect, omnipotent, omnipresent, supreme. And what do we do to return our thanks?

  • ima catholic, lovin this music tho :D peace n love to all muslims and religions

  • ameen.thanx buddy , same to you..peace to whole human kind.

  • Love and Peace!

    Shalom! Salaam! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti!

    Peace! Peace! Peace! Peace! Peace!

  • As a teenager raised Protestant, I agree with this statement. Peace to all who hold love int their hearts.

  • let peace spread

  • Good +6

  • Love and peace back at you. Alhamdulillah! We are family in spirit. Religion is just a label, the heart is what is Real.

  • @f1zzrawr that's a very good attitude.. may God bless u

  • @f1zzrawr peace & love to you too :) and to all mankind from all faiths :)

  • @f1zzrawr salam to you...

  • @f1zzrawr OMG! I found a Unicorn. wait- nope... its just a catholic that wants peace, congrats tho, still equally rare.

  • @f1zzrawr peace & Love to you too bro ^ ^

  • @f1zzrawr thank you brother for your beautifull words

  • Praise Allah!

  • What a wonderful rendition of this song.  Love it.

  • yes "bornstate"!!, we are proud to be muslims, not because we'r right,but just because we'r muslims.

  • Proud to be a muslim : )

  • No one has commented that this song originally appeared on the album, Mona Bone Jakon, Yusuf/Cat's first album which reflected his transformation from pop star to significant singer-songwriter released in 1970. The song is remains meaningful, as do so many of his songs from that period. He remains a great performer, and we are blessed that he has returned.

  • that piano player is so awesome and amazing!

  • @ThymzaWayston Thats just the way Islam is, not, thats the way religion is.

  • always an enrichment.. :]

  • Not alone you did,! I think i saw the Light too!!!....So let's sing praises to Him, Shall we'!

  • Amazing !!! thanks for sharing

  • Great song. I love it.. He´s absolutely amazing!!!

  • cool

  • To have peace we must love each other. And in order to do so, we must be concerning about other people who, every day, die from wars and drugs or get raped, not just set and listen to songs. Be human exactly like God wants you and open your eyes to what is happening in the world! . You may love something but it is harmful for you and you may hate some thing but is useful for you. May God guide us all.

  • @alelmnoor open your eyes to things that God is causing? haha, religion is so naieve.

  • that piano player is terrific!!!

  • 5***** Awesome!!!

  • He's much more mellow, but oh man, the voice is still there. This is brilliant :)

  • i just wanted to see you today at D.C.

  • The cowbell makes the awesome song awesomer!

  • @sudeep2001 Awesome song even more awesome you mean.

  • CAT STEVENS is back!!

  • Cat Stevens

    he is a smooth dude..peace to all

  • there is actually no concrete proof of him playing any musical instrument. He was blessed with a beautiful voice and he would recite the Psalms and the animals and birds would gather and listen to them (he would work and earn his living like any other person but he was extremely hard-working) - may Allaah's peace be upon Prophet David.

  • :) Awesome :)

  • I Think I See The Light! :)

  • cat yussuf u r a single human who has influenced me and my generation so deeply, morning has broken was elected for our graduation as the most loved 73 song, you are great, thanks for your messages of peace and love, fred.

  • Yusuf, you are aging well, my friend. The lyrics still show what you feel so deeply and purely. Sing on, to a new generation.

  • im a jewish guy from israel , and islamic or not this guy has some realy good songs and music in general , i enjoy listening to him dont realy matter to me if hes islamic or not ...

    so if i dont mind , u shouldn't as well... stop looking at the guy's religion and listen to the DAMN MUSIC! :)

  • :D nice ..

  • @absolumer you rock on my jewish brother (im not jew) i jst love it when i come across someone who looks at people 3 dimensionally instead of as 2d drawings of media

  • Amazing raw young talent who I saw in the early 70's. He converted to Islam to get away from the "immoral world of pop music. Like many religious converts he was looking for a way out of the confusion he found in the materialistic society.

    His drive and talent belong to his Greek Cypriot Christian roots with its onus on hard work and responsibility.

    Just why he converted to Islam is puzzling to me. Were there less grey areas and more certainties for lost souls? Discuss

  • There's a lot more to Yusuf tan just an extremely talented artist He gave it all for his spiritual beliefs! Im not a Muslim, but I respect any truthful (but not fanatical) beliefs. If you put aside the rubbish of the tabloids and take a good look at the man youll have to understand and respect what he has done with his life and his career. Very few spirits have transcended like this humble and beautiful human being

  • well put

  • thanks for your upliffting comments god willing more people will in there own way take that leap of faith and find what they need , even though you are not muslim i pray god guides and protects you what ever faith have a good day friend

  • Comment removed

  • From what we know now Yusuf was one of the very few 60s pop & rock stars that has really lived the spirit of his generation. Many talented stars like Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrixs, or Janice Joplin died in the attempt to live by their beliefs; most were absorbed by the system they tried to challenge. Yusuf transcended he really made it through the narrow path ¡AWESOME!

  • I LOVE this song! It really lights me up! I LOVE all of the Positive , Beautiful, Wonderful people that Shine their LOVE on and on and on... Unconditionally!Together with our LoveLight ,The Peace Train Rides again.....Blessings of Joy Peace Love Light

  • Obama says its time to start over with Iran- You and i are the people who know that this is the way

    Yusuf is the man who will once again light the way- A true spirit of peace whose music is timeless & and starts my day with serenity (even when i am angry about something) the peace train IS sounding louder

  • One of my favorite songs ever... and one that stiil makes sense for Yusuf to sing!Shine Shine Shine! :)

  • The light is the breath of GOD....and Yusef breathes the light!

  • A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So grateful that the Cat is back! He must know his music inspires peace & joy. :-)

  • I have always loved his songs. When he was Cat and now that he is Yusuf: he is a real genius

  • SALAM,

    I loooooooooooooooove ALLAH

    I'm soooooooooooooo happy

    I'm prooooooooooooooooud to be Muslim

  • swietna piosenka

  • Amazing music...Love It.

  • Yes, is a saxophone, a soprano sax :-)

  • i love this song, my favorite part is between 3:34-3:38 where that saxaphone (which isnt a saxaphone) hits that high note. Sounds amazing :)

  • MASHA'ALLAH. All Muslims are blessed. May everyone on earth SEE THE LIGHT. And may the UMMAH be united IN SALAAM.

  • Masha'Allah. We, who are born Muslims are blessed. It was not much of an effort on our part. But I truly envy those who were not born Muslims, I feel, maybe it is a bigger blessing to have been chosen by Allah who plucked them with His own Hand and took them out from the muck and mire of the degradation of Today's society to be placed in the best of places--in Islam's NOOR (LIGHT). MASHA'ALLAH. All Muslims are blessed. May everyone on earth SEE THE LIGHT.

  • Islam = Religion = 宗教 = الدين

    Islam = Way of life = 生命の方法 = طريقة حياة

    Islam = Peace = 平和 = السلام

    Islam = Respect = الإحترام

    Islam = loving = المحبة

    I♥LOVE YOU ALL FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH ♥

  • Cat Stevens has seen the light--,shine ,shine- shine. This is what happens ,when someone sees the light-----things start shining. Man is the same--- Cat Stevens --------now he is shining with the light.

  • I Think I See The Light

  • what a great voice..what a great song

  • YOU HAVE SEE TRUE LIGHT CAT STEVENS

  • mabe not so energic, but in my opinion more relaxed and more contend with himself, the searchhunger that he had is gone , it gave him and listeners that driving energi, for him this search is over so...but still nice i think.

  • Macha allah :) All praise to Allah ,i Hope you all the best inshallahe...of course, still we are breathing there's not limit to knowldege

    and remember ,the first aya revealed in the Qoran was "iQRaa" which means REad :) =look for knowldege ..... peace
