– We’re going to see what you’ve done There’ll be nowhere else to run – in the end #peace #rafah
“‘Father and Son’ wasn’t really about the relationship with my own father. In fact, I respected dad so much, he always gave me the freedom to do all the things that’s what I wanted to. Therefore, the spirit of rebellion was probably derived from my resistance towards the establishment. It was that rebel within me that resisted unworthy authority; that kind which has inbuilt injustice. Let’s remember that; it’s not just authority, it’s about injustice.” Yusuf On Monday evening, Yusuf attended @theothersongs Live at the London Palladium along with Bernie Taupin, Max Richter and @tompeterodell – who joined him on stage for a duet of ‘Father and Son’. Yusuf preluded it with a commentary about the song. The Other Songs celebrates the most distinguished living songwriters as well as the new generation of artists, with all proceeds going to charities that support emerging talent. #fatherandson #emergingtalent #keepmusiclive #supportlivemusic #music #rebel #resistance #peace

How powerful and moving it was to see the strength and unity of people from all Abrahamic faiths standing side by side all united by Conscience. All are united by The Conscience which brings us together as human beings. If you lose The Conscience, the human being is gone. @palestinesolidarityuk #palestine #abraham #conscience #unity #peacetrain #peace
For most on the ground, the nightmare continues #peace #rafah #gaza #palestine #nightmare
Stand Up For Palestine I will be musicalizing alongside @rogerwaters and @low_keyonline this Friday in London for peace and unity #peace #unity #palestine
– ‘Will you tell us when to live… will you tell us when to die?’ Have you any idea… what it must feel like to be pushed out of your own home? A home which was in your family for generations. You used to run and play in that home; outside it was a familiar street, with friends and interesting neighbours. You grew up in that place, your mother and father fed you and clothed you and loved you under that shaded roof. You slept and dreamt in your own bed there. Your sisters and brothers played hide and seek with you and teased you, helped you learn little tricks, as you got to know the world around you. Have you any idea what you are doing today to those poor Palestinian children and families, if they manage somehow to escape alive? Have you any heart left? #peace #children #wheredothechildrenplay #palestine #family #home
Honoured to meet Paul Williams @bloggingtheology1 this afternoon and chat while walking round my old stomping ground, Regents Park, near the Central Mosque. #london #regentspark #centralmosque #peace
– “Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men Grief is heavy with sadness and tears” (O Caritas) The ICJ ruling has been made; a modest move towards the implementation of international law. But I fear it’s far too late for so many innocents. #peace #icj #rafah #gaza #justice #law #innocents #internationallaw
We’re all foreigners. Say to an American or a European, that he’s a foreigner and he’ll say, ‘No, you’re the foreigner!’ But we’re all foreigners here, in a wider sense. We’re all looking for freedom and accommodation within humanity. But, beware of landlords – that’s all I say. #peace #foreigner #freedom #unity
See if you can tell a Mass Murderer, from a Corpse, from a Sex Maniac, from an Ex-Spy, from a Clown — and win a trip to Mars to watch the Apocalypse!

The way the World and America are headed is terrifying. Politics careering over the edge of darkness, meanwhile, over a hundred thousand lives are wiped out in the Holy Land. We just want peace. #peace #america #trump #gaza #palestine #holyland #peacetrain
@yusufcatstevens speaking words of peace and humanity at the Nakba 76 Protest in London on Saturday. #nakba76 #nakba #ceasefirenow #stoparmingisrael #freepalestine
Without wanting to get too politically stained, we’re all aware that there are elections coming up – ominously, in the axis of hypocrisy… sorry, democracy: UK, USA, France and Germany. The choices, frankly, are as bad as it gets. But thankfully, through the help of social media many of us have been switched on. I am in favour of a new breed of independent-thinking politicians, which means that the party system would be a thing of the past, I suppose. Anyway, I am celebrating the return to global conscientiousness – and so glad that Assange is free! Audio @doubledownnews Filming @migrationfilms #peace #uk #usa #france #germany #democracy
Witnessing the magnificent gathering of souls on the plains of Arafat during the climactic pilgrimage to Makkah, we see humanity in its most natural spiritual state; all praying for the blessing and forgiveness of the One God, the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and Earth. How amazing is the demonstration of brotherhood and faith, following the footsteps of Abraham, the perfect monotheist, and Father of the prophets. What strikes me is the strange disconnect most people have about the significance of this event and the history behind it. The story of Abraham in the Bible does not mention much about the family developments after the removal of Ishmael and Hajar from Canaan. Makkah, in fact, was the final place the boy and his mother settled. The famous four-walled House of God was later built by Abraham and Ishmael, during one of the father’s many visits to his eldest son. The symbolism if this event is absolutely monumental. It was, after all, part of the fulfilment of God’s Covenant to Abraham to bless his family with guidance and prophethood, and spread the pure and natural religion of monotheism, the worship of One God alone, to the world. The pilgrimage is therefore a testament to the fulfilment of that promise, which was sealed by the arrival of Muhammad, the last Prophet, who was a descendant of Abraham, and who was sent to revive the true religion and tradition of Abraham and reinstate the official name of the faith as ‘Submission’; Islam, in Arabic. Anyone who thinks that the pilgrims are praying to only other god than the God of Abraham, well… perhaps they simply haven’t been told. #arafat #islam #hajj #peace #abraham #unity
I want back, I want back, back to the time when the earth was green and there were no high walls and the sea was clean #peace #earth #environment #future #jummahmubarak
While war rages, a flower springs up and offers a message to the blood drenched world. Once I wrote a lyric about the secret of a simple flower. Amazed by its beauty and pure elegance, it seemed to stand as a testimony to the miracle of existence itself. How on earth does this little symbol of life sprout and grow? #peace #life #growth #flower #symbol #jummahmubarak #friday #beauty #elegance
While most eyes are distracted by the pantomime of politics, the bombs continue to rain down upon Gaza. You’ve now seen undeniable evidence of Biden, Sunak and Macron’s incompetence. Any wonder that for ten long months they failed to do anything to protect the innocents in Gaza? #peace #gaza #palestine #innocent #children
