Mountain of Light
-
Yusuf’s decision to leave the music business, become a Muslim, and devote his life to humanitarian and educational causes is one that has often been greeted with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.
Realising that he wanted to provide answers to all the questions that his fans and others had, Yusuf established Mountain of Light – a charitable organisation dedicated to promoting a sound understanding of Islam, spiritual knowledge and Yusuf’s own views.
On the Mountain of Light website you can listen to audio lectures and read articles on a wide range of topics including faith and music. You will also find an in depth, personal account of Yusuf’s journey to Islam, and his “Peace Notes” – a collection of much needed wisdoms on how we can learn to better live with one another.

A Thought...
SUNS WITHOUT CLOUDS
The whole of this world and its container, the universe, is made up of symbols, each standing for a purpose of creation. In this world there are no lights more conspicuous than the Sun and the Moon; symbols of knowledge, seen and unseen, which enable us to explore the life here and the life to come.
Maybe it is because of the clear skies above the desert sands – where most revelations of Divine Light descended upon the countenance of humanity – that God in His Glory became most clear and evident.
Shadows have a purpose and are signs of the existence of a body or entity. But shadows are only illusionary impressions and bound in time to fade. Because man in this physical world is finite, he becomes a shadow along the journey towards his ultimate station and purpose. The refinement of the self as a reflection of God’s most beautiful attributes is the only goal to aim for – the rest is shadows and ashes.
