The newspaper Al-Madinah Al-MUNAWWARAH which was published on 5 Ramadan 1400 H reported on Cat Stevens a singer of international caliber who converted to Islam after he gave himself the name "Yusuf Islam". In the report there are important statements, including the following:
1. Collapsed the west after I stopped singing since I embraced Islam. They wonder how I can change. All means of communication and mass media was silent and pretend not to understand my situation and do not whine behind me to ask me to come back as before, because the lighting in the west all employees were Jews and they are holding all the keys.
2. Is why I converted to Islam after my pilgrimage to the Aqsa mosque and then he gave me a gift of two exemplar of the Qur'an. Which one Arabic and one translated in English. He gave a gift to me because I put a big prehatian to divine religions. Then I taught myself the Qur'an it through to completion. After that I studied the life history of Muhammad r the end I was really influenced by personality Rasululloh. After one and a half years I have studied Islam in Ilmiyah I satisfied with his greatness and I conclude that Islam is a religion that is true and thank God I can embrace Islam.
3. I went to Al-Quds to Muslims there feel excited for my arrival. I pray and cry in this Aqsa mosque. Please note that the Al-Quds is the heart of the Islamic world. When he was ill then the whole Islamic world when he joined the sick and healthy then the whole will also be healthy. Therefore, we must membebaskanya of enemy occupation of Israel.
4. Paletina nation must always be obedient to the faith and keep praying, so if so I am confident that God will help him.
5. The people of Islam in the Aqsa mosque told me that smoking is haram hukunya. Therefore, I no longer want to smoke, drink, liquor, mix freely with women and stop all of the singing and music.
6. I chose a Muslim woman and cover his private parts because because beauty is not a matter of principle, which is more important is the faith and morals.
7. I am now learning to read Arabic and understand the Quran sehinnga enjoy the verses and their meaning. I'll write a book about the grandeur / greatness of Islam by using the popularity of my name to benefit the Islamic da'wah.
