The British-Muslim singer-songwriter is hoping for another huge hit in the Arab world with new album, 'Salaam' (Peace.)

British-Muslim singing extraordinaire, Sami Yusuf [2] has released his new album called 'Salaam' (Peace), hoping to hook in his Middle Eastern audience with the title. The record is Sami's fourth and includes a suprise duet with the songster's father on the single, 'Ighfir li Khateeti' (Forgive My Sins).
