"When I sing for God, I feel myself in accord with God, and the house of God, Mecca, is right in front of me.
And I worship.
When I sing for Mohammed, peace be upon him, our prophet, I feel like I am sitting right next to his tomb, Medina, and paying him respect and admitting to myself that I accept his message." -- Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, May 1997.
