Following Al Mu’allim came the groundbreaking, genre-defining album, My Ummah. Moving on from Al Mu’allim it was no longer ‘percussive’ orientated and lyrically more generic with more scope. Musically, it is a perfect blend of several different genres, which expose the listener to some truly powerful pieces of music. Whether it’s the haunting and epic string arrangement of ‘Munajaat’ or lamenting of the ney in ‘Muhammad’ (SAS), one never ceases to be amazed by the musicality, versatility and the gifted ability of Sami Yusuf for creating and combining both music and message. The album revolutionised Islamic music or Fan al Haadif (art with a meaning) and began to give Spiritique form and shape. The most commercially successful track was the Afghani folkloric song, ‘Hasbi Rabbi’, which became the biggest selling download in the entire Arab world (and much of the Muslim world), and which ultimately led to Sami being dubbed by Time Magazine “Islam’s Biggest Rockstar”.
