The wait is over for fans around the globe following the arrival\u00a0of Maher Zain’s third and new album One early this week. The highly anticipated album is out and fans can finally get their hands on the album\u00a0via all digital platforms for download, streaming, on YouTube and also in music stores worldwide. Multi-platinum winning artist Maher Zain has become a household name following the release of his first two multi-platinum chart-topping albums Thank You Allah (2009) and Forgive Me (2012). Unlike his previous albums, One embraces an even more diversified range of songs, themes, and styles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted that my third album is being released today. It\u2019s been a long wait but I hope it was well worth the wait. So much has happened over the past few years and I\u2019ve been blessed to tour the world and meet wonderful people and fascinating places. This experience has truly inspired me whilst working on the album\u201d said Maher Zain.<\/p>\n
