A Is For Allah is a special double album made to help kids learn about their faith in a way that’s fun and easy to understand. Yusuf Islam (the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens) wrote the main song back in 1980 when his first daughter was born because he wanted her to learn the Arabic alphabet and the beauty of Islam. The full album finally came out in 2000, and it uses each of the 28 Arabic letters to teach a different lesson—like "B" for Bismillah or "J" for Jannah (Paradise). It’s filled with beautiful songs, stories, and nature sounds, and it features other famous Muslim singers like Zain Bhikha.
This album isn't just for children; it’s a "Sovereign Guide" for anyone wanting to connect with the roots of the faith. It was made to bridge the gap for Muslims living in the West, giving them high-quality "Islamic Arteries" for education at home. By blending catchy nasheeds with deep meanings from the Qur’an, Yusuf Islam created a "Moral Moat" that has protected and inspired families for over 20 years. It remains one of the most successful Islamic educational projects ever made, proving that when you teach with love and music, the message sticks for a lifetime.
