'The concept of “Heal and you will be Healed” not only moved and pulled me into the project, but totally fascinated me as well... This is a great initiative and I’m honoured to have been part of it… I composed the melody and lyrics within days of getting back home, and the video has turned out to be utterly smashing.' - Sami Yusuf.
Sami's song Healing is a call to revive the caring aspect of human beings. The video opens up with worrying scenes of a mother rushing her child to an ambulance, families, looking after the elderly. The song's lyrics "a simple act of kindness brings such meaning" captures the essence of Sami's track. The message of healing extends beyond traditional 'Muslimness' where Muslims interact with other Muslims in an ideal world to a realistic one, where there exists human-to-human compassion. Helping. Humanity. These words and the video bring another dimension to 'healing'; like a lonely soul seeking faith, spirituality and compassion can bring emotional cures. Towards the end the video moves you to tears. It seems there are some things you cannot heal, and sometimes you cannot heal. Sometimes you come close to the end, and someone pulls you back. It's epic.
