After receiving a copy of the Qur’an from his brother, he embraced Islam in 1977 and shortly afterwards changed his name to Yusuf Islam.

"Everytime,you feel like you cannot go on. You feel so lost that you're so alone. All you see is night and darkness all around. You feel so helpless that you can see which way to go. But don't despair and never lose hope. 'Cause Allah is always by your side.
