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

Wealth is something that is closer to the heart.

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.

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.

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