Seven 8 Six Featured in Islam-Online.net Article

The Straight Path by 786: The Final Wake-Up Call
By Elham Fathi

Assistant Editor -- IOL

Artist: SEVEN8SIX

Album: Straight Path

Year: 2005

Label: Meem Music

Life is a journey, and every journey has its ups and downs, but one has to stand tall and be brave to stop for self-criticism and self-improvement so that one can find peace of mind. And the only way to reach that peace of mind is through pleasing Allah.

And that's just about what the American Muslim boy-band SEVEN8SIX wants to tell you in their latest album, Straight Path. Strumming to the beat of a soul seeking direction in life, the band echoes a heart's desire to lead a life full of pleasure, yet pleasing Allah and not straying away from the straight path.
After a relatively successful release in 2003 of their self-titled album, the band released Straight Path in December 2005, followed by their video clip "Meccah" on January 2007.

According to the group's official website, SEVEN8SIX derives its name from a popular numeric shorthand for the Islamic bismillah (Arabic for: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.) The band members are Shahaab Quraishi, Omar Razzacki, Zafar Razzacki, Muhammad Saadullah (Saad), and Muhammad Saeedullah (Saeed).

Then take my biography, build and create.
I want for your soul what I want for myself—
A place of sakeenah, some spiritual health..."

- Brother Dash
