PRESS RELEASE

VISIT OF SHEIKH YUSUF ISLAM TO MALAYSIA

25th to 26th of November 2010.

The world’s most famous Muslim convert today, Dr.Sheikh Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens and his wife, are on a sweeping visit to Malaysia.

Sheikh Yusuf has been to Malaysia on numerous occasions. However, this visit is significant and special as he is for the first time scheduled to have an audience with His Majesty Tuanku Mizan Sultan Zainal Abidin, The Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, as well as calling on The Rt Honourable Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak, The Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Sheikh Yusuf, either as Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam has an immense following in Malaysia, a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural nation. His stature and eminence given international recognition as a man giving his gifts from Allah on a mission of peace for Humanity, actively and generously contributing to humanitarian causes East and West is well documented. Although his beautiful melodies are historical anthems for earlier generations, who continue to remain followers and fans, his inspirational words and nasheeds are also naturally able to cross time and borders for many generations to come. He is truly an icon exemplary for contemporary generations, and for all that he stands for and does in the name of Islam and Peace,is indeed a man for all seasons and nations.

Uniquely, he has chosen to accept an invitation as an honourable guest in our country being an admirer of Malaysia for its beauty and peaceful aura. Besides a few official engagements, he has been kind enough to give time in his schedule for several events like the release of his latest nasheed single, ”Wind East and West”, as well as the launching of his initiative for world peace, the “Peace Train Community” for promoting a more peaceful world through networking and interaction, with the cooperation of the university students of Malaysia.

Sheikh Yusuf is now also well known for his pioneering work in Education. Together with major scholars from around the world, Sheikh Yusuf has worked energetically for over two decades towards the development of an International Syllabus, culminating in the formulation and implementation of a comprehensive and integrated syllabus in Islamic education from pre primary, primary to secondary schools now adopted in part or in whole in English speaking Muslim schools in UK, South Africa, Nigeria and USA. This is one aspect that could well be a part of our future relationship with Sheikh Yusuf in providing an alternative Islamic curriculum education for the young generations of Malaysians.

Sheikh Yusuf’s swift, stop over is planned to facilitate connections for future projects. Given his express driven schedule, we are nevertheless looking forward to the possibility that we may be able to welcome Sheikh Yusuf again next year for his world tour concert in which he has indicated that Malaysia may indeed be a distinct and desirable venue. That opens the possibility that we may be afforded with an opportunity to stage an honour tribute to Sheikh Yusuf as a Man Of Peace, one who has contributed a lot in many ways to Mankind.

His global standing as an artist and a humanitarian activist are testimony by themselves. It would nevertheless be a place of pride for Malaysia to have a role, to play any role in enhancing and realising the mission of Sheikh Yusuf in his life’s work in so far as those also tally with some of Malaysia’s mission : in the proper learning of Islam by Muslims, in the larger understanding by all of Islam as a religion of peace, in promoting social care and welfare for the needy in Humanity and in promoting peace and harmony amongst all of Allah’s creation.

Our lives are a gift from Allah. Sheikh Yusuf’s is a larger one Syukur Alhamdulillah. We wish him and his family all the Peace supreme that Allah may bestow here in this world and in the hereafter for all that he has done in the service of Allah.

Sheikh Yusuf’s visit to Malaysia with his wife is solely managed by The Peace Train Community, Malaysia Chapter Committee chaired by Ambassador Datuk Yeop Adlan Rose.

I'm Not Ready To Let You Go - Zain Bhikha.

Iconic Zain Bhikha who has won the hearts of Muslims throughout the word for three decades of song, story and the Dada and Me children’s series, releases a deeply personal song after many years. “I’m Not Ready To Let You Go” is an emotionally moving tribute to his beloved father Rashid Bhikha, a man who embodied faith, strength, unwavering love for his family, and left his mark on the world for his contribution to medicine and humanity.

Zain’s songs have always been a reflection of his personal life’s journey reflecting his faith, but more so, the meandering nature of being human, and this one is no different. Though the nature of its message speaks to the universal feelings of love and loss that we can all relate to. With hundreds of songs inspiring and motivating hearts towards Allah, “I’m Not Ready To Let You Go” is undoubtedly going to become a comfort and a favourite of Zain Bhikha fans.

“My father passed away a few months ago, he was the anchor that held us all together, the mountain upon which we all stand and the guiding light that showed us the way, I miss him every day,” said Zain Bhikha.

I’m Not Ready To Let You Go is available as a voice-only version. The official video is available on the ZainBhikhaOfficial YouTube channel and the audio, on all major music streaming platforms.

Other Releases

“Voice In Your Head” is a deep reflection of the unwavering love that parents bestow upon their children. It talks of the all-encompassing nature of a parents’ dedication to their children and the way that bond shapes who we are and who we become.

“The Forgiven” (featuring BoonaaM) delves into a powerful Hadith (prophetic narration) about forgiveness and Allah’s mercy. This song artfully tells the story of a man’s journey towards redemption.

“Salvation” (featuring Ashley Belal Chin) takes listeners on a heartfelt exploration of seeking Allah (SWT). The song emphasizes the closeness of Allah’s presence, reminding us that He is always with us.

Selain Munif Hjjaz, seorang lagi figura yang aktif menghasilkan karya secara konsisten, tidak lain tidak bukan, penyanyi dan komposer terkenal; Daqmie.

Kali ini, Daqmie bekerjasama dengan Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia (PERKIM) Cawangan Datuk Keramat menghasilkan sebuah lagu raya terbaru berjudul Yang Mulia. Lagu ini disampaikan oleh Daqmie dan Mestica.

Pengerusi PERKIM Cawangan Datuk Keramat; Ustaz Mohamad Suhaimi Abdul Aziz yang juga merupakan penulis lirik, berkata lagu tersebut mengisahkan hubungan masyarakat dengan golongan mualaf di negara ini.

“Lagu tersebut dinyanyikan oleh Daqmie dan juga Kumpulan Mestica yang mengisahkan hubungan antara masyarakat dengan golongan mualaf.

“Ia sebagai salah satu usaha dakwah kami agar masyarakat turut sama terlibat dengan usaha yang kami gerakkan ini sekaligus membantu mereka yang memerlukan,” katanya ketika sidang akhbar yang diadakan di sini.

Menurutnya idea penghasilan single ini tercetus hasil perbincangan dengan Daqmie yang juga merupakan komposer bagi lagu tersebut.

“Selaku Duta Mualaf PERKIM Datuk Keramat, Daqmie pernah melontarkan idea agar usaha dakwah PERKIM tidak terlalu terikat dengan kaedah lama namun harus dipelbagai agar sesuai dengan zaman.

“Bermula dari situ maka terlahirlah lagu ini yang turut diterapkan dengan melodi kontemporari bagi menarik minat masyarakat khususnya generasi muda.

“Kami mengharapkan dengan kepakaran dan populariti Daqmie dan kumpulan Mestica dapat menarik minat lebih ramai anak muda dengan kerja dakwah yang aktif di platform digital dan media sosial,” ujarnya pula.

Terdahulu PERKIM Datuk Keramat meraikan golongan mualaf dengan mengadakan Majlis Berbuka Puasa sekaligus melancarkan single raya tersebut.

Sementara itu Daqmie ketika mengulas berkata cabaran utama ketika penghasilan lagu ini ialah kekangan masa sambil berharap single raya ini dapat diterima masyarakat.

“Antara cabaran ketika menghasilkan lagu ini ialah masa yang diberi agak suntuk. Ketika Ustaz (Suhaimi) maklumkan PERKIM mahu terbit lagu raya pada mulanya saya agak terkejut.

“Namun setelah berbincang dengan rakan-rakan kami akhirnya bersetuju menerima cabaran ini, alhamdulliah kerjasama yang diberikan semua pihak akhirnya single ini berjaya direalisasikan.

“Semoga lagu ini dapat diterima semua pihak sekaligus memeriahkan sambutan Aidilfitri pada tahun ini,” katanya pula.

Pemilihan kumpulan Mestica sebagai rakan duet dalam lagu ini dilihat mampu mengubat rindu dikalangan peminat Mestica yang sentiasa menantikan karya baharu dari kumpulan nasyid popular tersebut.

Lagu Yang Mulia telah berada di pasaran dan boleh distrim di semua platform penstriman muzik digital yang sah. Manakala video muzik Yang Mulia boleh ditonton di saluran Youtube Daqmie Channel.

Untuk rekod PERKIM merupakan organisasi yang aktif dengan kerja-kerja dakwah dan kebajikan untuk menyebarluaskan syiar Islam kepada golongan Islam dan belum Islam di negara ini.
