Quote

Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur'an it asks you to reflect and reason....When I read the Qur'an further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the o­nly answer for me was the Qur'an and God had sent it to me.

The spiritual quest was always the predominant aspect of my life. It's always been there. But there's also an incredible passion connected to it it's not just a dry investigative process. I have been extremely emotional about it, and that comes out in the songs.

The sexual act - separating that from love itself - is centered solely in the body, whereas spirituality is connected to the whole self. Whether it's a female, a taste, or a sound, all these beautiful things affect our self. We are the perceivers of beauty, and that's why sex doesn't quite go far enough. You can go much further with the spiritual.
