Awakening and
Sami Yusuf were greatly motivated to produce
this project from the outset, and this motivation
stemmed from a shared deep conviction that
we have a duty to provide an Islamic alternative
for the Muslim youth that is vibrant and
enjoyable to listen to and is produced to
the highest standards of composition, singing,
harmonies, sound production and engineering,
being in all these aspects a match for any
albums produced by the Western music industry,
and yet containing the beautiful teachings
of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
To this end,
Sami Yusuf’s many talents, the best
studios, sound engineers and equipment were
brought together, no costs were spared and
no shortcuts were taken, always keeping
as our motto the hadith of the Prophet (pbuh):
“Verily
Allah loves that if one of you does an action
that he perfects it.”
So, perfection
in every aspect was our aim; thus Sami Yusuf
spent many long hours in the studio programming,
singing, playing the instruments and singing
the main tracks as well as the harmonies
and some of the backing vocals, and Barron,
one of the best and most experienced sound
engineers spent hundreds of hours recording,
mixing, editing and mastering, using the
best available studios and equipment to
produce an album that is equal if not better
in sound quality than albums produced by
the Western music industry.
