Sami Yusuf Playlist

Here is a playlist of spiritual Middle Eastern music (some words are in English) by Sami Yusuf, whose beautiful song "Who Is the Loved One" I shared yesterday. Let his voice soothe your stress.

I am very impressed with this young artist. He uses his popularity to spread positive messages. While his work comes from a Muslim perspective, he also takes on important sociopolitical issues which know no religion. In one song, he mentions the need for clean water for all people. In another, he takes on the Israel-Palestine issue, which is a difficult one to address without being accused of being anti-Semitic if one disagrees with the Israeli position.

He has a strong conscience and uses it to try to make the world a better place. Kudos, Sami!
