I am avid fan of Cat Stevens...When he converted over to the Islamic faith, he changed his name...to what I do not remember at this time...his religion does not permit him to profit from his music. He was a very messed up man back then and finding himself in the Islamic religion helped him...not saying I like the fact that he is Islamic, but he is at peace with himself and that is all that matters in the human race, right? I still miss his music tho!...Thank you "Dog Sneeze" I had heard also that he had produced a new album, but did not know how to go about finding it! I keep forgetting how "Answers" can help find out for me!

Some say it is a sin some don't,however in Islam everything you do in your life is dedicated to God and is useful,yet music is not very useful and it takes you away from god.

After hearing his music all i can say is converting to Islam is the best thing he ever did for the world.

Certain traditions of Islam do forbid music.
His new album is great, though.
