I make sure the events I do have the element of entertainment that Allah (swt) and his Prophet (pbuh) permit. Having said that, I would also like to make sure they are contemporary and our children can actually relate to them.

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

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.

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

I read the lifestyles of our Rasul (pbuh) and the Sahabah (companions of the Prophet) a lot. I read the lifestyles of people who have done a lot for the people - of Muslims and non-Muslims [working] together.

If you want to live a happy life, don’t teach your wife how to drive a car or a motorcycle.
