Twenty years on, and Hasbi Rabbi continues to move people in ways I could never have anticipated. Its secret, perhaps, is that it was never mine alone — it belongs to a tradition far older and deeper than any single composition. What is truly rooted does not age. It is one of those pieces I never tire of performing — and I cannot wait to bring it to Türkiye this September💛 📍 Ankara — 23 & 24 September, 9:00 PM — A…

Music — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 12 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Engagement
21 posts held, back to 5 June 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 15 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 21 posts for this entry, the most recent from 10 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Measured directly from 17 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

Delighted to share the video release of ‘Eterna (Between Two Seas)’ — filmed live at Yenikapı, Istanbul, before 25,000 souls, with over eighty musicians as well as members of the Fons Sophia Collective. This performance holds a special place for me. We brought many of the pieces from ‘Ecstasy’ to a live audience for the very first time — a full year before the album’s release. ‘Eterna’ was one of those pieces. And a…

The tar, a palace, and a melody centuries old. ‘Palace of the Shirvanshahs’ Now streaming. Listen/Watch: https://sy.lnk.to/PalaceoftheShirvanshahs #samiyusuf
This piece was born in Baku — premiered at Timeless Presence, in partnership with UNESCO — and carried something of that city’s ancient soul into every performance since. Istanbul, 2025, marked only its second time performed live. Before 25,000 people, sold out, in one of the most musically alive cities in the world. On this night, it was brought to life by musicians of rare sensitivity and skill: Yakup Selim Şenel…
Both concerts at Bab Makina — sold out, and unforgettable. To everyone who came, from Morocco and beyond: thank you. Truly. Fez always gives more than it takes 💛🙏🇲🇦
‘Amada’ is now available. Filmed live at Festival Park Yenikapı during the ‘Ecstasy: Between Two Seas’ concert, this composition by Sami Yusuf explores the soul’s surrender into the Divine. Rooted in the mystical poetry of San Juan de la Cruz, the performance captures a journey from symphonic richness to a visceral acoustic meditation.

Out Now: BEING There are moments in music where instruments fall silent, and voice becomes the entire landscape. ‘Being’ is one of those moments for me. Performed by the extraordinary Voces8, this piece lives through the human voice alone. The only line, ‘nothing is real, but the Real,’ is carried with such delicacy and depth that their individual voices emerge as one living sound. Working with Voces8 was a gift. Th…
Showing the 12 most recent of 21 posts we hold for @SamiYusuf. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 4 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
