One of his most famous song from his folk era was the Christian hymn like song, Morning has Broken. In the late 1970s, Stevens converted to Islam after a long spiritual discovery through not only Christianity but also Buddhism, paganism, and even "New Age beliefs". After his conversion, he stopped performing popular music and only sung in prayer or praise of God. Stevens is known to have donated money to Muslim schools in London, and later founded Small Kindness which provides food for starving children in Indonesia and Africa. Yusuf Islam is a champion for peace, and has come out in strong condemnation of the vigilante justice common in modern Middle Eastern Islam. He has made public statements that the Qur'an forbids violence against another human for any reason. After the 9/11 attacks, he made a statement saying that the men who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon could not be be true Muslims, because violence is never an acceptable answer. In 2002, Islam was denied entry into the United States because his named showed up on a no-fly list. However, it was eventually determined that the Yusuf Islam in question was somebody else and he was eventually let in after a brief legal battle.
