I have been listening to him since I was a boy. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about him. He has my support!!! You can NOT judge someone by their choices in religion EVER!!!
Half of you aren't even listening to the words of this song. How can you truly say this man and his religion is violent went he speaks about peace and unity of all faiths and races. Just listen to the words with open hearts. This is why there is violence in all religions. No one is open, Mr. Islam should have opened your hearts and eyes in this beautiful song.
it's good to see that someone in this world is as good hearted as you. it hurts to see the world suffer because people want to see others in pain. I agree with all of my heart and soul.
This is the first singer who has become old himself and his music. Old and peacefull. You can see now that he has found a true peace. Regards Yusuff and thaks for your music.
The "Good man" as people keep calling him is real, not some psychopath hiding under the protection of one government agency or another. He has broken the chains that suppress free thinking beings, he has held out his hand to all and he deserves the respect that human beings owe to one another. I have known his words since I was a teenager and never have his words been superficial or disrespectful to anyone. I cry and smile when I hear his songs. Thank you Yusuf or Cat, the words say it all.
Here's a beautiful example of what I deem to be "a man". What a gentle heart. He stands out because he loves...he loves peace, he loves mankind, he loves the love God gave us free so we could share it as he does. Cat? Yusuf? I don't care what he wishes to call himself, I love him regardless. Thanks for many decades of heart-touching music.
I first fell in love with this song in the 1970's and still love it. The message is one the whole world needs to take heed of. Whether as Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam, this is one fantastic singer and song. Peace to all.
I don't care what his religion is nor do I care what his name is. The point I'm making is that this man's decency and gentleness comes from within a heart that is at peace with who he is and if it's his religion that makes him that way, then more power to him. If it's his upbringing, more power to him, it doesn't matter why he is the man he is, it only matters that HE IS and we can all take a page of moral righteousness from how he conducts himself towards others. Thanks for responding. PEACE.
Wow. His voice is almost the same as it was 30 years ago! Clear as a bell with that same full tone. Before Christian or Islam, he's a musician - and we claim him as that. Thank God, Thanks Allah, thank you Cat/Yusef for giving us back your voice. We missed you.
Yashmin Khan You have a few of your bretheren that haven't heard the message. Not that other religions are perfect. Bur killing babies in the name of the creator misses the mark by 10,000 lifetimes. Wake then up.
Cat Steven had boarded his peace train Islam, the religion of peace, the biggest difference between muslim and Isis and their allies is, we believed Islam is a religion of peace as it is, Isis and their allies believe the contract. Cat Stevens had boarded the peace train, but still many haters boarded the train of nazi, fascists, donald trump, if you reject Islam, you will find finally that's your train. Allah will judge us all in that day, anti Islamic hater can't escape! Jesus can't save you, he said only who did the will of god can enter heaven, no body can save you but Allah
+Brian Pinter No, he had founded, you d better convert to Islam too, at last you will not be so hateful, Jesus will come to help Muslim soon, we know when he will come, you don't know! Indeed, Jesus has nothing to do with Christians just as he said in bible!
I had not realized that Yusuf was performing again let alone recording anything. This was particularly inspiring to me having heard it as a young man and not really grasping the spirituality of the message. Call me a boob, but to have him come back and sing this song at a time that we need it most makes me well up every time. God bless you Yusuf!
A Peace Train is just what the US needs right now. I have never in my life seen so much hate. This is so comforting and renewing to listen to. Peace, Sat Nam, Salaam to all who wish and pray for Peace.
Dude, is and has always been awesome, i remember the ignorance back then, couldn't understand their fear then, nor do i now,! Especially when this singer/songwriter/artist has a great expression of freedom, and through his music it shows
Yes music has no boundaries,and is the same in every human emotion all over the world,as music has no innate attachment to race,creed,color,or religious beliefs,but technically Steven Demetre Georgiou(Cat Stevens was his stage name)a British born singer/songwriter who converted to Islam Religion(Muslim) in 1977,and taking the name Yusuf Islam. Yusuf is an Arabic rendition of the name Joseph. He took a 25 year musical hiatus. This song"Peace Train"was written by Cat Stevens in 1971.
Wonderful song., one of the main Peace promoting songs that has lasted through the years......great blues version of it, too. Great, beautiful voice and lyrics of CatStevensYusuf. Where is that Peace Train.....on its way we hope, through democracy. Thanks YusufCatStevens, and President Obama, and all who are working, worldwide for Peace.
Wonderful song. sonds great every time, wonderful voice. Great to hear about the progress of the rehearsals for "Moonshadow", the musical, in Melboune, Victoria, Australia. Than you YusufCat Stevens. Peace, and Love, Always.x
Peace is a result of feeling Loved, valued, & respected and free of exploitation and harm and fear of harm. We are each responsible for Peace within and Peace with others. When someone commits an act that harms then we need to stop the harmful acts but not with the intent of harming back or to "take revenge". All acts that have intent to harm are equally wrong. Hate and war are fueled by hate and intent to harm (and fear of harm). We are all in this together. Love & Peace to All
Cuando escuche esta canción por primera vez sentí el amor contenido en su letra,no porque la entendiera sino a través de su voz.Cuando vi el vídeo de esa versión que tanto escuche también pude percibirlo en su rostro,realmente creí que era difícil hallar otra mejorada,en esta ,31 años después se puede ver claramente como el camino de su música ha sido una herramienta que despertó su conciencia y tantos años después eleva su obra en forma sublime.Felicitaciones.Hermoso.
i wish someday i could hear him sing this song and if anybody is next to me hopefully they will forgive the tears that will come down from my eyes cuz from the age of 5 i never understood why ppl go to war when love is the hardest thing i have ever know
This song will prove as being true, it's prophetic. The peace train has already started and more and more people are joining. Soon peace and justice will break through everywhere.
"Peace and justice" according to this wretch is an Islamic state where adulterers and homosexuals are stoned to death and authors who express opinion outside of this totalitarian nightmare are burned to death. Great.
i agree.id rather be stuck on a lonely island with him rather than with the discriminating hate mongers that criticize him.Yusuf walks the walk while others sling mud on him and claiming to be peaceful at the same time.
Many times life comes full circle You can make all the assumptions you want about Yusuf. If it concerns you all so, why are even listening to his music? It is through ignorance and indoctrination we hold certain beliefs that later prove to be fallacies.Yours, mine, and ours.. "My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand "
No, I don't. And I'm prepared to undergo a lie detector test to demonstrate to you that I'm not lying to you when i say that I don't. In fact, we could try to collect a representative sample of nominal atheists and have them each undergo lie detector tests. We could then ask them: "Do you believe in a god?" "Do you pray to a god when you're in trouble?" I predict that about 100% would answer no. Out of all the "noes", I predict that abuot 100% will come out negative, i.e. "not lying". Your claim that all people reading your comment know in their hearts that "there is one god the mighty" implies that the "noes" would produce a lot of positives, i.e. "lying". So you see, when accusing people of holding a hidden belief in your god, you are producing a testable claim. Now, would you be interested in reading the results of such a study?
Many mansions, many doors. Many souls. One God. Her name? Ineffable Silence. A moment existing between every instant. The sound of breath. And breadth. And wisdom. The first consort of GOD. JK
Like me.. I had it like you.. I just found it because I had a idea that it was Cat Stevens and right now I been hearing all his album find it on this Cat Stevens - Teaser And The Firecat I'm so so happy. I was born in 1957 and heard it didn't know anything but i ej i ej. It is so beautyful a song.
A good person that reflects Islam's concept by his actions.Just try to find something bad about him since he's moved to Islam. Although there is not a perfect person, he's a good man.May god bless you
I have been listening to him since I was a boy. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about him. He has my support!!! You can NOT judge someone by their choices in religion EVER!!!

Just listen to the words with open hearts. This is why there is violence in all religions. No one is open, Mr. Islam should have opened your hearts and eyes in this beautiful song.
Yusuf Islam has done so much good for humanity in charity. Every Muslim should strive to live like Yusuf. I love this man and I love Allah.
it's good to see that someone in this world is as good hearted as you. it hurts to see the world suffer because people want to see others in pain. I agree with all of my heart and soul.
Clearly a song of Peace sung by a man of Peace. Thank You Yusuf for the Love you spread in our world to help counter the hate. Love to All
This is the first singer who has become old himself and his music. Old and peacefull. You can see now that he has found a true peace. Regards Yusuff and thaks for your music.

This man.. this music.. gave me hope in the early seventies and still inspires me to smile to this day...
Here's a beautiful example of what I deem to be "a man". What a gentle heart.

As a Muslim, I think this song is just amazing.
This is the peace trsin not the war train, you are one that would crash the peace train.
Peace be upon you and Thank You indeed for this nice song that I have always replayed it for the second time, every time.
This takes me back in time, and inward to a place of peace and hope. I am grateful for this music and these inspiring words.
The Islam I've been taught..... Teaches me this exact Peace......Love to All...
Yashmin Khan You have a few of your bretheren that haven't heard the message. Not that other religions are perfect. Bur killing babies in the name of the creator misses the mark by 10,000 lifetimes. Wake then up.
Stephen Austin agreed...I think this cat missed the peace train.
ggg

I have loved, and always will love, this man and his music.
I'm in my 20's and I still love listening to Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens
I had not realized that Yusuf was performing again let alone recording anything. This was particularly inspiring to me having heard it as a young man and not really grasping the spirituality of the message. Call me a boob, but to have him come back and sing this song at a time that we need it most makes me well up every time. God bless you Yusuf!
A most admirable man ! standing up for a people no matter the cost unto his self , at a time when a world was miss led by evil people !
absolutly world class music made by one one of the most talented and blessed musicians in pop history
come on people jump on the peace train
A Peace Train is just what the US needs right now.
I have never in my life seen so much hate. This is
so comforting and renewing to listen to.
Peace, Sat Nam, Salaam to all who wish and pray for Peace.
He's such a good singer still. And he can still move me to tears with his songs.
I hope you see this message but not because it moves me to tears lol
i bear witness that there isn't god but allah and that muhammad is the messenger of allah
YusufCat Stevens...still beautiful, and still has an awesome voice, the best of my generation.
where are thinkers like this-are they still in existence? what an inspiration wish more ppl could get into trying.
I am studying...little behind on homework... Yusuf fixed my mood to cram all night.
I love this song... peace to the world and universe... let's get on this peace train.
Dude, is and has always been awesome, i remember the ignorance back then, couldn't understand their fear then, nor do i now,! Especially when this singer/songwriter/artist has a great expression of freedom, and through his music it shows
Greatest recording of one of the greatest songs ever
Once a great singer, always a great singer, once a gorgeous man, always a gorgeous man! Love and respect Cat / Yusuf.
His voice gets better with age simply brilliant.
HONESTLY until this song i really believed muslim and i could not share the same beliefs, until now . all we all want is HAPPINESS AND PEACE

We need peace more than ever in this day and age....
I am always smilling when i listen to this song ...He is realy great man .
He is the example of the man that I have always wanted to be like.
WE are all one. Folks....... Love & Peace!!
So, you're 'one' with those who support the burning of authors whose opinion they disagree with. Great.
In this time of trouble and violence- thanks for this message....
love this . The world was deprived of Yusuf's talent and voice for too long peace to all
Wonderful song., one of the main Peace promoting songs that has lasted through the years......great blues version of it, too. Great, beautiful voice and lyrics of CatStevensYusuf. Where is that Peace Train.....on its way we hope, through democracy. Thanks YusufCatStevens, and President Obama, and all who are working, worldwide for Peace.
This man is mint. One of if not the best songwriter that ever graced this world. 💚✊
I am a Catholic and I don't care what his religion is either. He is a good man who makes good music regardless of his religion.
He played this song today at the memorial event for the 50 innocents murdered in the Christchurch mosque shootings.
We are all one!
God bless this man! I adore him & so do my children Xx
Love this beautiful song! Love the Message!
Wonderful song. sonds great every time, wonderful voice. Great to hear about the progress of the rehearsals for "Moonshadow", the musical, in Melboune, Victoria, Australia. Than you YusufCat Stevens. Peace, and Love, Always.x
Let's listen to the damn song, and ensconce ourselves in his musicianship rather than slandering each other's beliefs.
Amen!

Muchas gracias hermano

Not anytime soon unfortunately. I got cat/usuf sees it in his lifetime xx❤
Wow. This is beautiful.

LA ilaha illallaha .....say it and you will be saved.....
Thank you for this nice video
i agree.id rather be stuck on a lonely island with him rather than with the discriminating hate mongers that criticize him.Yusuf walks the walk while others sling mud on him and claiming to be peaceful at the same time.
Free tickets for the peace train. every time, everywhere, who ever you are
I really like him, his songs are very meaningful. Especially, I like "Peace Train"
Many times life comes full circle
You can make all the assumptions you want about Yusuf.
If it concerns you all so, why are even listening to his music?
It is through ignorance and indoctrination we hold certain beliefs that later prove to be fallacies.Yours, mine, and ours..
"My actions are my only true belongings.
I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
My actions are the ground upon which I stand "
Peace to Everyone on the Planet! Especially in Syria
CAT, YUSUF, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? BEAUTIFUL PERSON ,BEAUTIFUL VOICE. LOVE YOU, GLAD YOUR BACK.
all of you in your heart know there is one god the mighty, not three just one you pray to him when you're in real trouble
No, I don't. And I'm prepared to undergo a lie detector test to demonstrate to you that I'm not lying to you when i say that I don't.
In fact, we could try to collect a representative sample of nominal atheists and have them each undergo lie detector tests. We could then ask them:
"Do you believe in a god?"
"Do you pray to a god when you're in trouble?"

Now, would you be interested in reading the results of such a study?
There's one god or there is a thousand... it doesn't matter. Life is a miracle and a mystery. Praise Allah.
Da bekommt man doch wohl 'ne Gänsehaut...
Now I've been smiling lately...
A class act.

Love is the healing power
The man still sounds wonderful.
I LOVE HIM no words
He still sounds awesome.
SHALOM To All The inhabitants of EARTH ..... It is better to have an Honorable Enemy , Than a Backstabbing Friend .......
A good person that reflects Islam's concept by his actions.Just try to find something bad about him since he's moved to Islam. Although there is not a perfect person, he's a good man.May god bless you
Bravo!
Rightly said...
It takes a lot of courage to do what this man has done...truly Jesus style! I know I don't have it in me!
