Born in Lebanon and raised in Sweden, R&B singer Maher Zain celebrates his faith through song and stands as one of the Muslim world’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

∙ After returning home and reconnecting with his faith, he decided to pursue a career as a musical artist, releasing his debut album, Thank You Allah, in 2009.
∙ The joyously reverent Thank You Allah quickly found fans throughout the Muslim world, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, where the album went multi-Platinum.
