Wonderful story.

Im not certain but I think there is another video by VH1 (Music Channel).

sheith · 12-12-2006, 08:44 PM

eversince I was a young boy I loved Yusuf's, ex-cat's songs... They seem to spring out from a true-believing heart...& the news to hear he was converted to Islam had really strengthened this respect & love ..he's a brother

...Islam is getting powerful with such men...started with Omar...Khaled Ibn Waleed...Mohamed ali Clay.. Cat and all other brothers and sisters in isalm...May Allah keep us on the right path and let's enjoy a place near his Beloved prophet Mohamed (PBOH) . Ameen Ya Rab El Alameen.

. as Tru Muslims...let the Love of our Prophet of Allah be the first Love...it's true the deepest

SabirIslamdost · 06-05-2007, 08:55 AM

Dear Yousif Islam,

I do not know how to express my feelings to you. I heard about you since a long time, but I did not know much about you. Today for the first time I watched at the video "How Cat Steven became Muslim", and I it brought me to a spritual world, in which there was a smiling man , Steven, was stepping frward to becoming Yusif Islam. It was not merely the change of a name, but it was the change of a part of the world, establshing a big pillar for Islam in the West. To see the humanterian cooperatins of Yousif Islam is to see the actual mission of Islam. ou
In the deep of my heart I pray for Allah to grant you, Yousif Islam, a happy, smiling and wounderful life in the Paraidse, inshaALLAH. I hope oneday I can see you in your Islamic shcools in London, and kiss you, hug you, shake hand with you, for to be with the great figures is to be blessed as they are.

May Allah lighten our hearts with the brightness of Islam

Salam,
Thank you for the video & story. I love the last song he did as Cat Stevens called " Father & son" It is a song about trying to talk to his father and his father talking to him. The understory to the song was about him going away to lead a new life & study Islam.

I am inspired by his life story. May Allah bless him and his endeavours in His way.

THIS MAN IS TRULY AN INSPIRATION TO MUSLIMS EVERYWHERE. I AM SO GLAD HE FOUND THE LIGHT OF ISLAM. MAY ALLAH GUIDE ALL MUSLIMS, WHAT A GREAT MAN, I ADMIRE HIM FOR HIS CHARITY WORK. I AM BEYOND WORDS. WHAT CAN YOU SAY, THIS IS AN UNDENIABLE MIRACLE. MY GOD GRANT HIM JANNAH (AMEEN) HE IS A GOOD FATHER, HUSBAND, AND MUSLIM I AM AMAZED. PUTS ME TO SHAME, I WAS BORN A MUSLIM AND I CAN ONLY DREAM OF BEING LIKE YUSUF ISLAM. CHECK OUT HIS SONGS THEY'RE AMAZINGLY GREAT

I AM SO PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM

bashir mohamed · 06-24-2008, 11:47 PM

Great video, but there's a nasty edit at around the 11:50 mark which kind of spoils it.

yochoice · 09-09-2008, 11:40 AM

assalamu aleykum warah`matullah wabarakatuhu!
waht a great life history and a long journey

Ameen ya rabaul Alameen!

Allaho Akhbar!!!!!!!

ashik_n · 01-19-2009, 12:24 AM

I am born muslim and have been following the basic 5 principles of Islam and was thinking I am good for Jannah BUT after learning Yousuf islam's life, I understood that I have done nothing for Islam. I am truely inspired by this video and will definetely want to do something for ISLAM Inshallah.

Let us spread Islam by words and by doing good acts like Yousuf Islam.

May Allah guide every individual in this world on the right path.

Allah hafiz
