The Home Music Video

The "Home" music video will be an important contribution to American Muslim culture and will help young American Muslims to feel a sense of pride and love for God and country.

Over the last few months I have been working closely with Lena Khan in putting together an epic music video for my song "Home". “Home” sends a powerful message about the American Muslim Identity and the strong feelings of belonging to a country that holds promise and hope for the future. Wherever Muslims have traveled, they made that place home - Just like prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, made "Madinah" his home. 

This creative music video will highlight contributions made throughout history that makes up the fabric of American culture, including the Muslim community's contributions. At a time when Islamophobia is on the rise, and where people can’t seem to imagine that Muslims can be proud of their faith and proud to be American at-the-same-time, this video inshallah will reach millions and make them feel a sense of pride and love for God and country.

Take a moment to read the lyrics and listen to the song to see that loving Allah and wanting what's best for your homeland are central parts of both Islamic and American heritage. Freedom of thought, freedom of choice and praising God are as American as apple pie :)
