This is the beauty of the Qur'an: it asks you to reflect and reason, and not to worship the sun or moon but the One who has created everything. The Qur'an asks man to reflect upon the sun and moon and God's creation in general.
Sun is the reason And the world it will bloom 'Cause sun lights the sky And the sun lights the moon
I'm being followed by a moon shadow Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow... Did it take long to find me, I asked the faithful light ...and are you going to stay the night?
Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.
It seems to be the easiest thing in the world these days to make scurrilous accusations against Muslims, and in my case it directly impacts on my relief work and damages my reputation as an artist. The harm done is often difficult to repair.
Man may live and man may die searching for the question why. But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall.
If I ever loose my eyes, I won't have to cry no more.
Music is part of God's universe.
The harm done is often difficult to repair.
My career is there for everyone to see and delve into.
There is a social need within our lives as human beings to have harmony.
I know many fine feathered friends But their friendliness depends on how you do They know many sure fired ways, To find out the one who pays And how you do
And if my mind breaks up In all so many ways I know the meaning of The words, "I love you
I'm looking for a hard-headed woman, One who will make me do my best, And if I find my hard-headed woman, I know the rest of my life will be blessed
