Does Maher Zain Really Believe In This Stuff?


Maher Zain makes good soulful Muslim rock music, he is a true global star with fans that goes places where even Islam might not be the official religion. He packs stadiums and concert halls where his tickets are sold ahead of time. At the end of the day, it's a job that pays well that has made him into a public figure.

But he strikes me as a guy who cares enough about his music, I cannot speak about his faith. I am sure he is a fine family guy. But faith is between him and God. So his fans are right to point out, how awesome this guy really is. But at least I know there has to be a separation between the message and the messenger.

The message is clearly good and universal--even not Muslims can find Maher's lyrics meaningful, but he should not expected to lead a saint like life. I know he has a good name around the world and that's great, BUT, if Maher does not listener to his fans and mind the business side, we would not know about him and by the same token, he would not be around for long. That's why he pushes his social media bookmarking. It helps spread the message and also help bring in the cash.

In sum, balance is the key....Maher has it right, good music and good personality. While we wait, enjoy the track below where Maher seeks guidance.
