Yusuf Islam^[1], formerly known by his stage name Cat Stevens (born Steven Demetre Georgiou on 21 July 1948 in London, UK), is an English musician, singer-songwriter, educator, philanthropist and prominent convert to Islam.

As "Cat Stevens," Islam has sold over 60 million albums around the world since the late 1960s. Stevens' albums Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat were both certified by the RIAA as having achieved Triple Platinum status in the United States (three million sales each); his album Catch Bull at Four sold half a million copies in the first two weeks of release and was Billboard's number-one LP for three consecutive weeks. His songwriting has also earned him two ASCAP songwriting awards (for "The First Cut Is the Deepest," which has been a hit single for four different artists.)

Stevens converted to Islam at the height of his fame in 1977. The following year, he adopted his Islamic name Yusuf Islam and left his music career to devote himself to educational and philanthropic causes in the Muslim community. In 2006, he returned to pop music, with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years, entitled An Other Cup.

He has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including the 2004 Man for Peace award and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace. He lives with his wife, Fauzia Mubarak Ali, and five children in Brondesbury Park, London, and spends part of each year in Dubai.^[2]

"Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is..Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss..Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train..Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again"

Peace Train Lyrics

"How can I try to explain, 'cos when I do he turns away again It's always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away..
I know, I have to go"

I Look I See I look, I look, I look, I see I see a world of beauty I touch, I touch, I touch, I feel I feel a world around so real And everything I do I dedicate to You Cause You made me I am for You
I listen, listen, listen, I hear I hear the words of God so clear I read, I read, I read, I know It helps my knowledge grow And everything we do We dedicate to You Cause You made us We are for You I listen, listen, listen, I hear
He sent the Prophet to show us the way He made Religion perfect that Day Peace be upon him, upon him we pray Salatullah, wa salamu â€˜alyhi
I sleep I sleep, I sleep, I dream I dream Iâ€™m in a garden green I wish, I wish, I wish I pray I pray to be here everyday And everything I do I dedicate to You Cause You made me I am for You
I work, I work, I work, I strive To make something of my life I seek, I seek, I seek, I find I find another hill to climb And everything we do We dedicate to You Cause You made us We are for You I look, I look, I look, I see
He sent the Prophet to show us the way He made Religion perfect that Day Peace be upon him, upon him we pray Salatullah, wa salamu â€˜alyhi (x2)
