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.

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

Making music, creating lyrics comes very naturally to me.

Because I move around among people I get inspired by the people.

One of the greatest tazkiya (purification) of the nafs (self) is to part with your money and to give it to people who deserve it.

You have a lot of children that come up to you... and their parents tell you, and sometimes even [the children themselves] tell you how much they love singing your nasheeds. It is a great source of satisfaction that even now you can make a difference in the lives of people.

Why should I just limit myself to the Urdu language? Why not sing in different languages?
