In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn`t enable you to do that. It wasn`t my style.
In a World where people are surrounded by darkness, ignorance and fear, it is a sign of hope to be celebrating Islam`s message of peace and light, and the last great Messenger, born and chosen to deliver them to all mankind.
I`ve studied various schools of thought... I acknowledge that some Muslims consider music prohibited, but I`ve found a lot of evidence from the life of the Prophet to show that he allowed certainly, but even encouraged, music at certain times.
