What Is Dawud’s Reigion? Islam? Christianity? Buddhism? Bahai? Sufism?

Just as Dawud does not like to slot his music into any one general musical genre he has grown to avoid being bound to the expectations of any one religious community. Dawud does not personally believe a “religion” is something one “belongs to”, but believes religion is a foundation of principals one seeks to live by and develop each day — both personally and through social outreach. Inspired by transcendentalist philosophy and scriptures from all times and all places, Dawud finds great peace in the wisdom of Native American spirituality, unitarian universalism, teachings of the Buddha, the philosophy of Tao (“The Way”), the words of Al Qur’an and most importantly, through daily self-reflection and connection with nature.

Dawud respects anyone who tries their best to follow a spiritual discipline with humility, honesty and integrity. He enjoys learning from all of his friends and family members who associate themselves with various communities of faith. Dawud’s “faith community” includes anyone who believes in and acts with truth, love, compassion, fairness, responsibility and humility in their efforts to make the world a better place.

Dawud holds a belief in a higher power and “Creator” of all that is. He does not pretend to fully comprehend the nature of The Creator, but feels each day is a new step on his spiritual journey of better understanding.

In 1993 Dawud was impacted by the words of Al Qur’an (The Recitation) and has made the best effort, since that time, to privately study and act upon their teachings. Dawud does not however, accept all of what has become connected to Al Qur’an through cultural and traditional interpretations of it. Though Dawud respects the efforts, lives and opinions of religious scholars (those who have studied the Torah, Talmud, Bible, Qur’an, Hadith, etc) he is not devoted to any specific institution of learning, religious school of thought, group, religious movement, teacher, guru, sheikh or saint — nor does Dawud accept a universal system of man-governed religious law derived from any one scripture.

In his songs, poetry and educational efforts Dawud has frequently used the word “muslim” in reference to himself, maintaining that his use of the word is based upon its literal meaning in Arabic “one who submits to God’s will” or “enters into peace”.

“If I play music, I am a musician. I might not be the best musician, but I will at least try my best. If I believe in a higher power and do all I can to surrender in peace to the natural way of that power, I will be a person who brings peace and is at peace with nature and all around me. I will never be the best person, but I will be a person who tries their best. Whatever name is attributed to me by others doesn’t matter to me anymore. I’m more worried about working hard to change the world for the better in the little time I have left.”
