This double album combines The Sultan of Madinah and Blessed Mustafa with two bonus tracks Call to Prayer and Paro Kalima. These 18 tracks (listed below) lyrically describes the message, mission of Muhammad Al-Mustafa (The Chosen One) and the sentiments that his followers have for him (s). Muhammad (s) was a man, not a god nor an angel; but as a diamond is a rock, so to every rock is not a diamond. He holds a special place in human history, having played a significant role on the course of shaping civilization for over 1400 years as he continues to impact on world events in our time. There is however an anti-Muhammad rhetoric from his opponents and the hypocrites within that has echoed through the centuries from the inception of his mission to date. Today it's the Danish cartoon caricature, in his time it was the poets. In his time it was the munafiq who plotted in secrecy today it's those who by their sordid and vile militancy bring his message and exemplary conduct into disrepute. What was Muhammad's purpose, his message, his mission, his raison d'être? The following hadith captures the spirit of his humanity :"Oh People! Spread Peace! And feed those of you in need, and pray in the night when everyone are asleep, then you will enter Heaven in peace. " Perhaps shocking to many of the charlatans who claim him today. This album, combining the earlier Sultan of Madinah and Blessed Mustafa, presents lyrically “The Essence of al-Mustafa (the Chosen One)” . From the first track The Call to Prayer to the last Parho Kalima uses the language of music as a means to communicate the stature, message and mission of the best of creation, Muhammad(s). It is an essential collection for those who believe, follow his message and who yearn know him and understand his true character.
