Very Nice........2001-11-30

This CD is a compilation of prayers for the common person's day-to-day affairs, such as before going to bed, after eating a meal. The english translation follows the Arabic. There are also a few nice nasheeds/songs. The only thing that would have improved this CD and allowed the listener to benefit from it even more is if it came with the written text of the prayers so the listener could learn them too. You can't really pick up the proper prononciation ecetera just by listening to the CD because its obviously read by professionals, so kind of at a fast pace. However, I know you can for sure find these prayers in books elsewhere, as they are all well-known. Overall, a nice CD to listen to that will hopefully inspire us to remember God in our daily activities just as the Prophet did with these daily prayers.

Words and Songs of Comfort and Peace.......2001-09-20

I don't pretend to be Muslim though I've read the Koran, Dawood translation (Penguin) two and three times over. This CD is a production of Mountain of Light, based in London. Yusuf Islam, formerly, Cat Stevens, is more than a narrator, he is a translator. The album is divided into the following segments: Prayers, Night, Dawn, Day, and Evening. Given the events of 9/11/01, I shall not speak of "light to my left, to my right, in front of me, behind me, above me, below me", but I shall share the following prayer so beautifully translated and delivered:

The Prayer: Ayat Al-Kursi

On the authority of Anas -
May Allah be pleased with him who said:

I heard the message of Allah, [arabic words]
May the blessings of peace of Allah be upon him, say -

Allah the almighty has said:

Oh son of Adam,
so long as you call upon me, and ask of me,
I shall forgive you for what you have done,
and I shall not mind.

Oh son of Adam,
were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky,
and were you then to ask forgiveness of me
I would forgive you.

Oh son of Adam,
Were you to come to me with sins nearly as great as the earth,
and were you then to face me, ascribing no partner to me,
I would bring you forgiveness
as close to it in measure.

5 Stars!.......2000-12-19

Anything less for a truely gifted man? Masha Allah. Extremely beautifully, and entertaining for the heart. All songs are accompanied by children, or other heartfelt men who sing soley for Allah. There are no musical instruments, only the lovely voices.

The dua's are a tremendous blessing, both with a clear, Arabic voice, for easy memorization, and with Sidi Yusef's voice serving for the English translation. Definatley worth memorizing for all occasions.

The Quran is beautiful said in both the Arabic and English language. The CD offers you the ability to record what you would like, so you can make a complete tape of songs, or dua. Make the PERFECT gift, or wonderful for any traffic time, spending time with Allah and those who are lovers are Allah, what a benifit!

Great Gift for New and Old Muslims Alike :).......2000-01-11

This is a truly wonderful CD for both Muslims and those interested in Islam. As a new Muslim, I especially appreciated the Quranic recitation--as I could listen to it and work on my pronunciation. Ten different (I think) surahs are recited including Surah Al-Fatihah, al-Baqarah, al-Imran, al-Shuara, al-Takathur, al-Furqan, and al Ahzab. It also includes lots of different prayers including Istikhara, prayers before eating, etc.

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens--think Wild World and Harold & Maude) does the narration, reading of the translation, as well as a few songs. The Quranic recitation is done by Sheikh Mahmoud Khalil Alhousari.

The songs are great! (Love to see an album of simply Islamic songs!) My favorite is "If You Ask Me."

One criticism--I wish the CD-booklet included the transliteration (Arabic) and English for all of the different prayers.

If you're just starting to explore Islam--there are many great websites out there. I also highly recommend the book "Daughters of Another Path."
