Islamic Art, whether
in the form of calligraphy, tiles, or music
is all inspired by divine love and beauty.
Music is a gift
from God and is a tool which can be used
but also (as it often is) misused. Indeed,
nearly all Muslim countries have a rich
history of Islamic spiritual music, each
with its distinctive sound and flavour.
Unfortunately,
due to many reasons,this heritage has long
been in decline. It
is my sincere wish that this humble album
be one of the many artistic endeavours being
undertaken to shape a new British-Muslim
or Western-Muslim culture.
I also felt obliged
and motivated to contribute through this
album to the positive efforts already being
undertaken by the Muslim community to show
the real face of Islam as understood by
the majority of Muslims which is one of
peace and tolerance.
I hope that this album goes even a short
way towards this aim, and I pray that God
accepts it.
