Making music, creating lyrics comes very naturally to me.

In the UK, most of the nasheeds that I did were in my native language, Urdu. Youngsters who could not understand the language came up to me... [and] said it was a great experience to just listen. That was actually very heart warming for me.

My wife obviously would like to have her husband right next to her. I keep telling her inshaAllah we will be together in paradise.

I think Allah (swt) has given me the ni'ma of this voice, for which I use for Allah (swt) and his Prophet (pbuh) to read nasheeds. That is a certain kind of music, which is pleasing in the eyes of Allah (swt) and His Prophet (pbuh). And if people can start listening to it, I think that is a great service to the ummah. Keeping that in mind, that now has become a priority.

The nasheeds I do are for children, the youth, and for the older people.

Wealth is something that is closer to the heart.

This world is not a place where people can be together forever.
