Generosity always pays.

Initially, when I was first starting as a musician, I was a very nationalistic figure and I used to believe in doing a lot of national songs. I would always have a national song in the albums I did.

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

Making music, creating lyrics comes very naturally to me.

I read nasheeds (Islamic songs) in English, in Arabic. I read nasheeds even in Bangla language. Now I don't just travel to meet people from my own country but people from the entire ummah.

Wealth is something that is closer to the heart.

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.
