about

Why Sound Heart?

sound 1. A vibration that can be heard or perceived through the sense of hearing: I heard the sound echo through the room. 2. In good condition; without flaw or disease; pure: He is a man of sound intellect.
Given these two definitions of sound, the album title, Sound Heart, has a dual meaning. On the first level, this album encases the Sounds of Hearts. Every artist, musician, poet, rapper, singer, dj, producer, and engineer who had a part in this album poured their heart into the work they contributed. The album is the product of over two years of hard work. Much has changed for me in these two years but the album retains, and even increases on many levels, its potency and relevance. It can honestly be said that this album is the “sound of heart(s)”.
The second meaning is of course related to the deeper objective of attaining a heart pure and free of disease and flaw. The goal of the spiritual path is to achieve a sound heart. For only such a heart can, to the limits of human capacity, behold the Most High. Purification of the hearts is a science that has been perfected and applied by prophets, saints, and true women and men of God and has been passed down through an unbroken chain to this very day. “The voice was never silent, the question is who will heed the call.”

Any good, truth, talent, or purity in it is due to the unlimited outpouring of Allah’s grace. Allah alone is deserving of praise for it. If there is any imperfection, falsehood, negativity, or impurity it is purely from myself due to my inability to actualize the lofty realities of God’s mercy upon me. In the words of Malcolm; “All praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, only the mistakes are my own.” I ask for God’s forgiveness and humbly ask you for your prayers; and Allah knows best.
