@abdelali2012 This song was written before he converted to Islam. Brilliant song and he is still great :)
-
Wrong. He wrote this song a long time before his near death experience which led him to Islam. The song is actually about a woman, but he has omitted the word girl from the verses for this version.

God gave him a gift for a reason

I heard the original today on public radio...absolutely BLEW ME AWAY!!! We Love You Yusuf, and your music has enriched my life indescribably!!!

@abdelali2012: He wrote this while recovering from tuberculosis in 1968; it was on 'Mona Bone Jakon' in July 1970. He first read the Qur'an in 1976 and formally converted to Islam in December 1977.
I mean no disrespect to Islam, or to Yusuf. He saw a light that is not restricted to any religion, nor even limited specifically to religion. It is true that he later chose to *honor* this light through Islam, but the light shines equally upon everyone. If it did not, it would not be the light.

Amazing version. I love the changes he puts in the tempo. Great artist. Cool CAT!!!
he found peace in Islam for that reason he is saying : " i think i see the light " the light is Islam :)

Whatever religion he is, I think he has a beautiful heart. I think he truly loves people. He is an amazing talent.
