Simply lovely! And for all the controversy in the past, please access the link on my profile for the real truth by Yusuf himself!, i just think it's important not to misunderstand a great man.
I love this song. Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam has been a musical inspiration for me for awhile. I dont care about religious backgrounds with artists. Lets just enjoy the music!!
It would appear that he is showing some sensitivity toward what others may expect of him by not using his adopted surname on his "secular" records. If you see "Yusuf Islam" on the CD, you can expect a religious / educational theme, whereas if the CD reads simply "Yusuf", then it will be more mainstream like this.
U can sing as long as the code of the song is sending msg to awake ppl about wad things they did are bad towards religion. Eg. U heard before The 9 Saints in Islam, Wali Songo(Indonesian). One of them conduct gamelan in order to attract ppl to do the rite thingz and most of the lines that he sang came from Rasullah PBUH hadith.
@musa618 actually the use of musical instruments is prohibited and the evidence for this is in some authentic reports from the Messenger of Allaah but then there are disputes
i am not a religious man but i am glad that Yusuf (cat stevens ) was able to produce this song as he is one of the worlds finest singer song wrighters well done
At first i thought he was the bald headed rikshaw driver, but johnny's his wife said it's an emotional bit when Yusuf protects him. So he must be the one who loses his shirt at the end.
Is it true about the actor Johnny Depp being in this video??? He's a big Cat Stevens fan. Not sure if he has a big or a small part though. Is he the one with no shirt on at the end?
christ or muslim who fucking cares ?

It's a shame ... I've heard he is not welcomed in the USA just because he converted to Islamism...He is a super talent singer!!!

@stigmaweb It's called Islam and it's clear why they won't let him in. Ignorance and lack of knowledge of the religion.

@duderme Yusuf has been back to the US several times since the "incident". There are no restrictions to his travel in the States.

He had his Visa turned down in the USA! Why? Just because he became Muslim? Mr. Bush's legacy has this answer!

I don't think Johnny Depp received any payment for his part. He's just a big Stevens fan.
