Cat Stevens Instagram - The revolutionary spirit of Freedom and Peace often burns brightest in young hearts, as shown by the students of Columbia University. I was about their age when I wrote Peace Train and know the feeling well. Praying for a just and peaceful end to their struggle - and those they’re demonstrating their powerful support for.

Cat Stevens Instagram - I once wrote a song called ‘Where Do The Children Play?’ meaningful to many of us perhaps, but totally meaningless to the poor children of Palestine. They are just asking for a place to sleep, some food to eat, a night without fear of being bombed or losing their limbs, a chance to kiss their mothers goodnight without the threat of being dragged off to prison without charge, before the sun rises.

Cat Stevens Instagram - My first surprise when reading the Qur’an for the first time, was to find out that Muslims believed in God! Call me ignorant, but that was the first big lesson and quite the opposite of what I expected. I had some kind of idea that, maybe like Christianity, they worshipped Muhammad or perhaps mountains, moons or astral bodies; never in my wildest imaginary excursions did I ever suspect that I would find the name of God in the Qur’an. I had heard the name ‘Allah’ being pronounced and referred to as some kind of Arab deity, never having been told that it was the same original Semitic name for God as found and printed in every Arabic Bible.

Cat Stevens Instagram - Oh Allah! have mercy on my mother like she had mercy on me when I was born.

Oh Allah! make my mother amongst those who are not afraid and who are not sad. And accept us into the highest place in Jannah (Paradise)

Cat Stevens Instagram - ‘Letter to the Children of Gaza’

You are afraid. Explosion after explosion. You cry. You cling to your doll. You see the white light of the missile and wait for the blast. Why do they kill children? What did you do? Why can’t anyone protect you? Will you be wounded? Will you lose a leg or an arm? Will you go blind or be in a wheelchair? Why were you born? Was it for something good? Or was it for this? Will you grow up? Will you be happy? What will it be like without your friends? Who will die next? Your mother? Your father? Your brothers and sisters? Someone you know will be injured. Soon. Someone you know will die.

Cat Stevens Instagram - “‘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.

Cat Stevens Instagram - The gentle faces of children caught up in this grotesque violence are heart-rending beyond words. Thank you to my friend @peterhreynolds for this powerful message.

“No child should EVER suffer. No humans should suffer, but children - no matter where they live - should have the freedom of having a peaceful, safe and joyful childhood. My heart breaks when I see the news - footage of parents holding their injured or lifeless children in their arms - or children orphaned wailing in greif. We can be silent about these conflicts around the world or we can say something. Speaking up is doing something, but we can do more- not just with relief aid, but by using all tools available to prevent conflict and tragedy in the first place.” - Peter H. Reynolds

Cat Stevens Instagram - “Mom, I’m fine.” The last words of six-year old boy, Wadea after being stabbed by an Islamophobe 26 times

A landlord in the US was so distressed by the Pro-Israel, hateful anti-Muslim news reports, he unleashed his anger upon an innocent Palestinian family who lived in his house. When the mother asked him to pray for peace, he stabbed her and then went on to stab and kill her six-year old son, Wadea. The last words the boy spoke were, “Mom, I’m fine.”

Look at what hatred and evil is being created about pure and innocent human beings who happened to belong to a land called Palestine. This is the result of people having been blinded by the darkness of propaganda, and starved of truth or compassion.

Though our hearts weep for the love of this one pure young boy, who’s life was extinguished - stabbed no less than 26 times - by one man’s vicious explosion of bitterness, let’s not forget the thousands of other innocent victims on all sides of this dark and gruesome war of propaganda in the land once called ‘Holy’.

The only solace I can gain from this, is in the words the small boy spoke as he left this blood-drenched, dying world, “Mom, I’m fine.” It tells us of the reality behind life and death in the grand scheme of things:

“Surely God’s friends — no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow.” (Q 10:62)

You can almost see a cloud of angels fly the soul of the boy, away towards the heavenly light, and through the doors of God’s mercy, as he enters the eternal home of peace and happiness. This is the first stage of never ending happiness, as he is given the glad tidings of Paradise and eternal bliss, and his book is recorded in ‘Illiyyun (the highest heaven); then his soul will rejoice and be happy, and will never feel misery again.

Wadea must have seen the ‘betweenness’, which most of us are veiled from.

Cat Stevens Instagram - Just pondering the undefeatable power of the human spirit of those who are enduring one of the darkest of episodes possible in this world. Though the world has turned away, these poor hungry souls are teaching us that even in the harshest of times, hope is not lost. The arrival of the sacred month of Ramadan also brings with it a powerful reassurance of faith that transcends ashes and rubble.

“Thus, We have revealed a Spirit to you, (O Prophet), by Our command. Before, you did not even know what a Book or Faith was, but We have made the Quran as a light by which We guide whichever of Our servants We want. You certainly guide (people) to the straight path”

Cat Stevens Instagram - Personal tragedy hits our school

We are devastated. A young student in our boys’ school has just lost fourteen members of his family in Gaza, murdered during the Israeli bombings. Oh my God! How heartless! They don’t even know what or who they’re killing. If they could face the souls of those they’re slaughtering, and look them in the eyes, they might not find it so easy to pull the trigger. But the Day of Judgment will provide them that opportunity. While the family killed will be welcomed in to enter heaven, no such accommodation can be expected for their executioners. “God enters who He wills into heaven, and for the wrongdoers is a painful doom.” (Q 42:8)

Cat Stevens Instagram - For the sake of the little ones - Stop Bombing, Cease Fire!

The Boy Running in Paradise:

This is the story of a Palestinian woman that I recently heard.

A loud and frightening air strike was underway somewhere in Gaza. A mother was crying out, desperately calling for her son to come home and take shelter. She looked out and was so relieved to see him hurriedly running towards her arms. But in a split second, a jet plane suddenly soared over them and dropped a bomb, which directly hit the ground nearby, killing the boy instantly right in front of the mother’s eyes.

Helpless, unable to raise a finger to save her son, the mother froze, watching the scene in horror. Heart broken, she just wept, raising her hands and asking God the Most Just and Kind, for patience to bear her loss. She repeated “inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioun”, We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.

The mother’s joyful young son had been torn away and vanished from her life; violently taken by this brutal and inhumane war upon millions of innocent people, as they struggle to survive the unfolding tragedy of a massive Israeli military invasion and occupation of their homeland.

Tearfully, she informed her family and friends later what happened. She said, “The only thing I worry about, is that it hurt him - it looked so terrible.”

That night, the woman went to sleep and she saw her son in her dream, in Jannah (Paradise). She asked him anxiously:

“Ya mama. Oh, my beloved son, what happened to you? Are you okay? Did it hurt you?”

The boy said, “I don’t know what happened to me, mummy. I was running towards you when you were calling out to me. I was running towards our house. And then suddenly I… I saw myself running in the garden. That’s it.”

The Mother asked him, “Did you get hurt? Did it hurt you?

“No. I just felt like a big pinch. It pinched me, and then I was running here, in Jannah.”

‘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?

(Excerpt of GQ interview... not published)

We have to keep talking about Palestine, we must keep the issue alive. I’ve been listening to many incredible talks and podcasts about the history of Zionism, the end of the First World War and the international designs that were going on. Russia actually wanted Constantinople, then you had France and Britain all vying for the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. And the European Zionist colonial project looked at these conditions as a huge opportunity: a perfect storm. You can start to see how that fits into the history of the area - there is more going on below the surface than we might imagine. It’s a quagmire.

You think your free and lucky

Sometimes you have to fight yourself, because your soul or your desires are pulling you one way. In spiritual terms, you have three different identities to your soul. One is the one which is going for everything, trying to grab everything, whatever it wants. The other one is accusing itself of these things, and saying, “I’m watching you.” And the last stage of the soul is contentment with what God wishes. There’s a lot of science to do with the soul, and I think a lot of people need to learn more.

Cat Stevens Instagram - I believe the land of Palestine and Israel has been bequeathed for all the children of Abraham, and the teachings and worship of One God. That is the view which should be adopted by the rest of the world, and all efforts made to reunite the hearts of Ishmaelites with the Israelites, and pray to God for the genocidal killing to stop, and forgiveness and peace to reign.

Cat Stevens Instagram - 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.

Cat Stevens Instagram - Before the Declaration of Human Rights came the 10 Commandments

The noble 10 Commandments I learned in primary school were engraved on my young heart; a reminder of what it means to be ‘good‘. The laws tell us what we need to know to make us civilised, they were not just meant to be a privy endowment for the Children of Israel, but for ALL People. Being good to your neighbour means exactly that—equal consideration for all. 

Looking at the horror of what’s happening now in the land once called ‘Holy’, it seems a new assault is about to be unleashed; ‘collective punishment’, a shameless war crime and potential genocide. How is that possible, from a group of people, who were historically the victims of such atrocities themselves?

“(Oh Children of Israel) do you enjoin righteousness upon humanity and forget to observe it yourselves? Have you no sense?”

Then the bombs came down,
On my small village town
As I looked around
It was gone!
Mama called our names
Father never came
Life was never the same
From that day on...

Don’t you feel the day is coming

The major fault of modernity is thinking that human beings have progressed due to the discoveries of science and technological advancement. Human beings actually posses the same basic consistency in terms of worthiness through every age and era, measured not by technology, but by morality and ethical values.

Cat Stevens Instagram - In 1955 the U.S. tried to ban the film “Blackboard Jungle” because they felt the soundtrack and the film’s portrayal of juvenile delinquents would incite delinquency. It highlighted violence in urban schools and also helped spark the rock-and-roll revolution.

The primary cause for their rebelliousness was the students’ dissatisfaction with the educational system and the social conditions in which they lived, plagued by poverty, violence, and neglect.

Does this not sound familiar when looking at Israel as the classroom, and USA as the school administration?

Cat Stevens Instagram - HUMANITY: A LOST CAUSE?

Wrong cannot right a wrong. Rights to life, homes and identity belong to everybody. Let’s keep our hearts open for peace to have a place at the table. Remember the innocents who are suffering. True peace can only be built on a foundation of justice which should be equally distributed by the international community. And we all have a part to play.

Cat Stevens Instagram - It beats me how people do not see others as human!

The history of oppression and genocide is one which is uncomfortable for most people to face. But the truth is that many of the most terrible afflictions of modern history are linked to the development of European power and colonial adventures. The expulsion of human beings, families and children, uprooted and turned into slaves or persecuted and killed, often in their ancestral homelands, seems to have a direct correlation to the rise of ‘The West’. And yet, today it prides itself on its adherence to a list of human rights that it is yet to apply fairly and equally to other people living on this same earth.

Call me ignorant, but that was the first big lesson and quite the opposite of what I expected. I had some kind of idea that, maybe like Christianity, they worshipped Muhammad or perhaps mountains, moons or astral bodies; never in my wildest imaginary excursions did I ever suspect that I would find the name of God in the Qur’an. I had heard the name ‘Allah’ being pronounced and referred to as some kind of Arab deity, never having been told that it was the same original Semitic name for God as found and printed in every Arabic Bible.

You are afraid. Explosion after explosion. You cry. You cling to your doll. You see the white light of the missile and wait for the blast. Why do they kill children? What did you do? Why can’t anyone protect you? Will you be wounded? Will you lose a leg or an arm? Will you go blind or be in a wheelchair? Why were you born? Was it for something good? Or was it for this? Will you grow up? Will you be happy? What will it be like without your friends? Who will die next? Your mother? Your father? Your brothers and sisters? Someone you know will be injured. Soon. Someone you know will die.

Cat Stevens - 12.1K Likes - “Mom, I’m fine.” The last words of six-year old boy, Wadea after being stabbed by an Islamophobe 26 times

A landlord in the US was so distressed by the Pro-Israel, hateful anti-Muslim news reports, he unleashed his anger upon an innocent Palestinian family who lived in his house. When the mother asked him to pray for peace, he stabbed her and then went on to stab and kill her six-year old son, Wadea. The last words the boy spoke were, “Mom, I’m fine.”

Look at what hatred and evil is being created about pure and innocent human beings who happened to belong to a land called Palestine. This is the result of people having been blinded by the darkness of propaganda, and starved of truth or compassion.

Though our hearts weep for the love of this one pure young boy, who’s life was extinguished - stabbed no less than 26 times - by one man’s vicious explosion of bitterness, let’s not forget the thousands of other innocent victims on all sides of this dark and gruesome war of propaganda in the land once called ‘Holy’.

The only solace I can gain from this, is in the words the small boy spoke as he left this blood-drenched, dying world, “Mom, I’m fine.” It tells us of the reality behind life and death in the grand scheme of things:

“Surely God’s friends — no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow.” (Q 10:62)

You can almost see a cloud of angels fly the soul of the boy, away towards the heavenly light, and through the doors of God’s mercy, as he enters the eternal home of peace and happiness. This is the first stage of never ending happiness, as he is given the glad tidings of Paradise and eternal bliss, and his book is recorded in ‘Illiyyun (the highest heaven); then his soul will rejoice and be happy, and will never feel misery again.

Wadea must have seen the ‘betweenness’, which most of us are veiled from.

Though the world has turned away, these poor hungry souls are teaching us that even in the harshest of times, hope is not lost. The arrival of the sacred month of Ramadan also brings with it a powerful reassurance of faith that transcends ashes and rubble.

“Thus, We have revealed a Spirit to you, (O Prophet), by Our command. Before, you did not even know what a Book or Faith was, but We have made the Quran as a light by which We guide whichever of Our servants We want. You certainly guide (people) to the straight path”

We are devastated. A young student in our boys’ school has just lost fourteen members of his family in Gaza, murdered during the Israeli bombings. Oh my God! How heartless! They don’t even know what or who they’re killing. If they could face the souls of those they’re slaughtering, and look them in the eyes, they might not find it so easy to pull the trigger. But the Day of Judgment will provide them that opportunity. While the family killed will be welcomed in to enter heaven, no such accommodation can be expected for their executioners. “God enters who He wills into heaven, and for the wrongdoers is a painful doom.” (Q 42:8)

The Boy Running in Paradise:

This is the story of a Palestinian woman that I recently heard.

A loud and frightening air strike was underway somewhere in Gaza. A mother was crying out, desperately calling for her son to come home and take shelter. She looked out and was so relieved to see him hurriedly running towards her arms. But in a split second, a jet plane suddenly soared over them and dropped a bomb, which directly hit the ground nearby, killing the boy instantly right in front of the mother’s eyes.

Helpless, unable to raise a finger to save her son, the mother froze, watching the scene in horror. Heart broken, she just wept, raising her hands and asking God the Most Just and Kind, for patience to bear her loss. She repeated “inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioun”, We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.

The mother’s joyful young son had been torn away and vanished from her life; violently taken by this brutal and inhumane war upon millions of innocent people, as they struggle to survive the unfolding tragedy of a massive Israeli military invasion and occupation of their homeland.

Tearfully, she informed her family and friends later what happened. She said, “The only thing I worry about, is that it hurt him - it looked so terrible.”

That night, the woman went to sleep and she saw her son in her dream, in Jannah (Paradise). She asked him anxiously:

“Ya mama. Oh, my beloved son, what happened to you? Are you okay? Did it hurt you?”

The boy said, “I don’t know what happened to me, mummy. I was running towards you when you were calling out to me. I was running towards our house. And then suddenly I… I saw myself running in the garden. That’s it.”

The Mother asked him, “Did you get hurt? Did it hurt you?

“No. I just felt like a big pinch. It pinched me, and then I was running here, in Jannah.”

‘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?

(Excerpt of GQ interview... not published)

We have to keep talking about Palestine, we must keep the issue alive. I’ve been listening to many incredible talks and podcasts about the history of Zionism, the end of the First World War and the international designs that were going on. Russia actually wanted Constantinople, then you had France and Britain all vying for the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. And the European Zionist colonial project looked at these conditions as a huge opportunity: a perfect storm. You can start to see how that fits into the history of the area - there is more going on below the surface than we might imagine. It’s a quagmire.

The love and warmth I felt was heavenly, beyond anything I’d experienced in Britain before. Our hearts were joined together, in rhyme with the historic moment. Thank you, to everyone who shone their love that dazzling afternoon.

“Now does the blame for the disaster fall upon men

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.

You think your free and lucky
But you're stuck behind a prison wall
How well you know yourself,
But I see something else within you
That you don't see at all

Sometimes you have to fight yourself, because your soul or your desires are pulling you one way. In spiritual terms, you have three different identities to your soul. One is the one which is going for everything, trying to grab everything, whatever it wants. The other one is accusing itself of these things, and saying, “I’m watching you.” And the last stage of the soul is contentment with what God wishes. There’s a lot of science to do with the soul, and I think a lot of people need to learn more.

LINK IN THE BIO

In the Muslim Calendar this month, known as Rabi Al Awal, is the month in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born.

‘Tala ‘Al Badru Alayna’ was the song he was greeted with as he travelled from the city of Makkah to Madinah. It is said to be the first song from the Muslim tradition in praise of the Last Prophet (peace be upon him).

Cat Stevens - 7.2K Likes - Before the Declaration of Human Rights came the 10 Commandments

The noble 10 Commandments I learned in primary school were engraved on my young heart; a reminder of what it means to be ‘good‘. The laws tell us what we need to know to make us civilised, they were not just meant to be a privy endowment for the Children of Israel, but for ALL People. Being good to your neighbour means exactly that—equal consideration for all. 

Looking at the horror of what’s happening now in the land once called ‘Holy’, it seems a new assault is about to be unleashed; ‘collective punishment’, a shameless war crime and potential genocide. How is that possible, from a group of people, who were historically the victims of such atrocities themselves?

“(Oh Children of Israel) do you enjoin righteousness upon humanity and forget to observe it yourselves? Have you no sense?”

Then the bombs came down,
On my small village town
As I looked around
It was gone!
Mama called our names
Father never came
Life was never the same
From that day on...

Don’t you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain
When your children see the answers
That you saw the same

The major fault of modernity is thinking that human beings have progressed due to the discoveries of science and technological advancement. Human beings actually posses the same basic consistency in terms of worthiness through every age and era, measured not by technology, but by morality and ethical values.

The primary cause for their rebelliousness was the students’ dissatisfaction with the educational system and the social conditions in which they lived, plagued by poverty, violence, and neglect.

Does this not sound familiar when looking at Israel as the classroom, and USA as the school administration?

The history of oppression and genocide is one which is uncomfortable for most people to face. But the truth is that many of the most terrible afflictions of modern history are linked to the development of European power and colonial adventures. The expulsion of human beings, families and children, uprooted and turned into slaves or persecuted and killed, often in their ancestral homelands, seems to have a direct correlation to the rise of ‘The West’. And yet, today it prides itself on its adherence to a list of human rights that it is yet to apply fairly and equally to other people living on this same earth.
