Cat Stevens- Biography

Cat Stevens is a multi-instrumentalist, humanitarian, and singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom. He was influenced as a child by the musicians performing on Denmark Street, which was the core of the British music business. Listeners from the 1970s remember him as the sweet and romantic singer whose tracks always soared to the top of the charts and became ‘Top Ten’ staples. His success and reputation can be measured by the fact that three of his albums went gold, and he was inducted into the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.’ At the pinnacle of his career, he had a life-changing encounter that led him to accept Islam as his religion.

For several decades, Stevens ceased producing and singing music and committed his life to educational and humanitarian projects for the Muslim community. He was awarded two honorary doctorates for his efforts to promote peace. After fully comprehending the message of music in Islamic culture, he returned to music in the 1990s. He now believes that it is critical to convey the finer points of Islam to the rest of the world. He married Fauzia Mubarak Ali in 1979, and they have five children. The family is currently residing in London.
